they could convict of first degree muir
der when the court had only defined
murder In the second degree. and she
asserted that the jurors might as we'll
have intended only to convict of second
degree but we're misled by the wording
of the charge. She also pointed out
that the trial court had let In too
much testimony as to previous criminal
acts of the accused.
Miss Bgelow was followed by Attor-
ncy Clifford p. Grant for Moreno and
by Louis +. Tannebaum for Eagles.
Tn" conviction of the three men was
upheld by Assistant United States At

ment will be concluded tomorrow by
