DR. 0'NElL FREED AFTER LONG TRIAL
Logan Also Discharged in Trial
 Following Auto Fatality
JUDGE DOUBTS TESTIMONY
Doesn't Like Local Mans Conduct After Daniel Pays Death But Finds Him N9t G"ii'y-o'NciI Tells Why He Left Scene.

"T have some douht as to Dr. O'Ncil's innocence but more than reasonable doubt as to his guilt. don't like his conduct after the aC- Cidcnt but l am satiSticd that the ambulance arrived before he left. Had he left the scene before the ambulance arrived. l should have been deeply inccnscd at him." Judge Arthur r. Els declared in superior court last evening, as he found Dr. Martin l.. O'Ncil, interne at New Britain General hospital, not guilty of the charge of criminal negligence and discharged him.
 Judge Fills also made finding of not guilty in the case of Robert K. Logan of Plantsvillc and discharged him. He was driving his own truck when it collidcd with a sedan driven mountain, cO-called. carly in the morning of June 90. and was Charg- cd with criminal negligence, the states attorneys office having taken the attitude that the proper course to pursue was to place all the facts before the court Logan and O'Ncil were arrested on bench warrants, Daniel Fay, formerly of New Britain. having died from injuries sustained in the crash.
 With reference to Logan, Judge Els said he was asked to believe Np n'N.iI from hp- hind another ear while going up the mountain, but he did not accept To- gan's story on this point However, he did not consider it reasonable 10 find one of two parties guilty simply because he found the other not guilty. It was his feeling that Logan had not been proven guilty. and 1t seemed to him, after viewing the case from all sides and weighing all the evidence, that the vehicles were travelling quite close 10 the center of the highway and sidcSWipod each other. As to the speed at which Dr. O'Ncil was driving, Judge EllS @aid, "UnQucstionably he was going faster than he said he Was," still '1 should be very greatly bothered in my con- science if I found pr. O'Ncil guilty on Logan's testimony"
 Many Attend Long Trial
 The trial opened about 1O:@O o'clock in the morning and did not end until 6:O5 o'clock last evening. If attracted widespread attention and among others in the court room when Judge Els made his finding were Dr. David F. WaskoWitz, Dr. M. A. Kinsclla, Dr, George w Dunn, Judgc W. F. Mangan, Attorney liar ry NJ. GinsburG, and other promi- ncnt New Britain professional mon. Dr. O'Ncil was represented by Attor- neys Joseph r.. Berry and $. Polk Waskowitz of Hartford.

German Foreign Minis ter Succumbs to Shock and Complication of Diseases Today-Great Statesman ! gnored g d Ills to Guide Nation.
Officials of Many Govern ments Pay Tribute to Man-Changed Passive Resistance Into Active Cooperation With For mer Enemy Nations.

Eaien-Badcn. Germany, Oct. 3 E)-Dr. Gustav Stresemann, Ger mauy's great postwar foreign min- istcr, who figured so prominently in her reconstruction work. died to- day in an mtimely death because ho refused to take cart of himself and insisted though he was q sick man, on giving more than his body could stand 10 the cause of inter- national amity.
 More than q year and q half ago he invited the Associated Press cog respondent in Berlin to dine alone with him al an obscure restaurant.
 Ad,is To Quit
 Tn the course of conversation he then remarked my physician ad- liscs me 10 go to Egypt for a year 10 cure kidney trouble. But how can l go. with all these interna- tional problems pending?
 Ut ia easy enough for the doc for 10 tell me what I ought to do. He forgcts that I have public duties to perform"
 Soon after this conversation, Dr. Strcsrmann's health broke down, but even then he insisted on re- maining in western Europe close enough 10 the center of affairs to guide Germany's foreign policy. This i failure to take complete rest in ] a hot climate unquestionably hasten ed his death.
 The Berlin correspondent of the . Associated Press was probably the last foreign newspaper man to en- ] joy the privilege Of an extended tall, with the German foreign min ] istcr Five days ago he was in- . vitcd to have coffee with him. r Dr. Strcscmann looked appalling ] ly tired. pale and cmaciated. In answer to q question how he had ! enjoyed his vacation in Switzerland after the assembly session of the , Lca@ue of Nations, he said with a van smile: Alas. it was altogether i too ahort-only ten days. But what i heavenly quiet and repose!" No Telephone Calls "ror once no telephone could ! reach mo, and even three ambas- | sadors who kindly offered to call on me bore no resentment when they ] were informed l should prefer at ! this time 10 see nobody at all" l Dr. $;rcSamann reflected for a moment. pulling at his famous black cigar, and remarked on how much more cXactinE was the work of the statesman in Germany than in other 1 countries.
 "parliamcltary and public life in ] Germany take too much out of a i man. you know. British statesmen go and play golf and everybody finds 1 it natural

Good Says Sergeant York Is Hot Likely to Be Dis

STRICT INVESTIGATION
 PRECEDED MEDAL AWARD
Army Officers Support Kentuckian Against Attack of New Haven Man - Early Says He Ordered York to Take Back Prisoners Captured by Pia:oon-iShaustivc Probe Necessary.
By GEORGE IT. MANNING

(WashuEton Bureau x. F. IIcrad
 Washington, Oct. 3 - It is cX- !romcly unlikely the war depart mcnt will discrcdit Sergeant Alvin York, the famous war hero, in favor of Sergeant Bernard Early, of New Haven, Secretary of War Good stat 2d today.
 The secretary said he knew noth- ng of the movement to transfer the credit for capturing 132 Germans in he Argonne from York 10 Early and if Early, together with Ser -cant Cutting, of Bridgeport and Perry Bcardsloy of RoXbury, Conn, were in Washington for that pur- pose the matter has not been brought 10 his attention.
 1t is charged by the protesting group, according to the story here, that Early was a sergeant in com mand of the bcleagucrcd Nanks and urncd over 10 York, who was. pri- vatc, the task of conducting the Ger mans to the American lines after he (Harly) was wounded.
 At this late date" Secretary Good said. 'it would take cxtraor- linarily convincing affidavits 10 even start a movement to change the rec ord"
 He admitted that acting upon the assumption that the charge of the New EngIanders is true, he does not know what procedure would be followed 10 effect the change There is no doubt of the fact that an exhaustive investigation would be necessary, he said, but admitted again that he did not know wheth- CT it would be conducted by the war department or committee of congress, since a congressional medal of his is involved. He spoke of the situation as extremely un- usual.
 Army Men Back York
 Officers attached 10 the military intelligence office at the war de- partment froWncd on the report of the charge of Sergeant Early and his friends, That is the general at titudc among army officers here.
 One officer, who is familiar with Sergeant Works exploits pointed out that a detailed investigation of all cases of bravery of that nature .s undertaken, anfdavits by compe- tent officers furnished to the war department before the act receives any recognition. In Works case. he recalls th2t a first investigation warranted tho bcstowal of a dis tinguishod service cross. Later when inc real facts of the feat were h,Nught to light. according to lhis officer, another inquiry was Uade with the result that the first decoration was recalled and the highest decoration within the DOW CT of inc government given to the lanly Tennessee mOuntaincer.
 York Not Favored
 If was pointed out by officers at the war department that there was no reason for favoring York. In fact he was in a bad light in the service, since he entered it reluctant ly and made every attempt 10 cvadc service on the ground that he was Conscientious Obiector."
 Senators Bingham and WalcOtt, of Connecticut. and Gillette, of Massa- chusottS said today that the matter had not been called 10 their attcn- tiOn and they did not core to discuss 1t, at least, until they were ac-
