Pelletier, a patrolman of the Cam
bridge police department must serve
state prison sentences as a result Of
the action of the full bench of the
supreme court today in overruling
exceptions taken during their trial

Coady was sentenced to serve from
three TO four years and Pelletier
from three and half to four years
after a jury had found them guilty
of attempting to extort money from
Patsy D'Allessio by accusing him of
driving an automobile while under
the influence of liquor and of a
parking violation.
One Of the contentious of the
defense was that Judge Dillon. who
presided at the trial. failed ade-
quately to instruct the jury.

) MILLION SHARE
DAY IN WALL ST.
Did Not Enjoy Its First Expert
enCe Of Kind

New York, June 20 Rl-Wall
Street has experienced the first
100000 share day in the stock
market-but didn't enjoy it.
Expectations that the long looked
for record would be established in
Ia roaring bull market, however,
were not fulfilled. 1t was made
June II to the thunder of crashing
prices in a market dismally bear
ish
Other new records accompanied
the 5,193, 60o-share day. More than
100000 shares changed hands in
the final hour for the first time in
history. The ticker was one hour
and 81 minutes late in recording
the final quotation, also for the first
time in history. And while un-
official and in fact impossible to es-
innate, it is probable that more
small spectators lost their paper
profits than ever before in history.
Wall Street had been compli-
menting itself on the easy decline
of the sly-month bull market when
the crash of Bancitaly Corporation
common on the curb market on
June II reverberated so loudly as
to topple the speculative structure
hnilded upon the big Board"
There has been no dearth of rea-
sons to explain the collapse. Call
ing of loans made on Bancitaly
stock at high rates probably was
directly responsible. Uncertainty
over the national political situation
caused further shakiness. Mainte-
nance of high money rates also
worked its influence. And UNDER
lying all, perhaps, was the determi-
nation of the Federal Reserve
Board to curtail over-speculation
an effort which appears to have
been entirely successful.
