 Judges for Decision &
COURT CONSIDERS FACTS
 ON EXPERIMENTATION ANGLE
Checking Account Evidence Intro- duced to Show Defendant Planned to Get Money for Getaway-Jus- tices Recess Twice to Consider New Legal Points Involved-Man Hopes to Escape Death.

Hartford April o3 Rt-When the trial of Heinrich o. Lorenz for mur- der opened in superior criminal court this morning, Lorenz changed his plea to guilty, leaving to the three judges the question of determining the degree of guilt.
 Lorenz, who has confessed 10 the killing of Nils F. Anderson in Weth- crsfield March 31, had previously pleaded not guilty to first degree murder. Acting Public Defender Walfrd G. Lundborg, when court opened, announced that the, defend ant wished to change his plea.
 Orders Plea Changed
 Judge Newell Jennings asked if Lorenz fully understood the meaning of this action and, being informed that the defendant did, directed the clerk to receive the change of plea. Judges Ernest c. Simpson and Cari Foster are sitting with Judge Jen- nings.
 Anderson had been friend of Lorenz and had loaned him money,
  claimed by the state, is that Ander- son was pressing Lorenz for the payment of a $500 loan, and that Lorenz inveigled Anderson to ride with him to Wethersfield where out side the automobile Lorenz shot him to death, carried the body in the car to a point cast of the state pris- |, : ,-iy- 11 n.
 There the body was found and nearby in the river the gun was re- covered after Lorenz's arrest in Windsor, Ontario, and his return to Hartford, where he re-enacted the tragedy for the. detectives.
 Engineer Tells Story
 The first witness was Civil Engin- eer John-T. Henderson, who testified to a map of the route Iorenz IS al leged to have driven over on March 51, from ANdcrson's boarding place on Rowe avenue 10 Wethcrsfield. John T. Stuart from the First Ma tional bank testified that Lorcnz was a depositor in tho bank from March "A, i9So to April 1. There had been cash of s100 and Sl50 insurance check for collection.
 It was drawn on the State Bank of Chicago by the Mutual Trust Lite Insurance company to Anderson and was endorsed by Anderson and Tor eng. A $40 check 10 Mrs. Llnqulst April closed the account.
 MT. Alcorn asked about a check for S60 on April l. MT. Lundborg ob- jected and Mir. Alcorn said it was to show reconciliation and preparation for flight by the accused.
 MT. Lundborg contended prepara- ton for flight after the homicide was not material to the issue; II II was preparation before, he could see no valid objection to it.
 Prematurely Offered
 Judge Jennings gave the oplnon that the testimony was prematurely offered.
 In the examination of August Ben son of 454 Park road, West Hartford, Mir. Alcorn asked about his calling on Lorenz at Cobb's picture store on Church street, April l. MT. Lundborg promptly objected and the proceed ings halted.
 Owing to objections by counsel for the accused to admission of tcstl- mopy regarding Lorenz's actions aft- CT the homicide, because the only question is one of reconciliation, the court took a recess at 10:45 to make

 Recognition of Jeff the Lucky was given when congress passed a generous appropriation for statue of the explorer, to be presented to Iceland, his native country, on the 1,0O0th anniversary of the organi- zation of the islands parliament, next June.

POLITICIAN HELD

Albany Police Arrest O'ConneII
 -SS0,OO0 Bond Set

Albany, N. Y. Jan. s (R-Danie! P. OConnell, Albany county politi- clan, dubbed by Assistant L. $. A. torney Thomas T. Cooke of New York, "a most elusive person." was under S30,00o bail today after his surrender and arrest here yesterday in connection with the Albany base- ball and stock market pool investi- gation in New York
 Since December g, when the AL banian was indicted on charges Of pcrjuring himself when he testified before the federal grand jury which was hearing the case of James J. Otto, federal authorities, said Cooke have been trying to lay hands on him.
 He termed O'Connell "a fugitive from justice" and, in arguing before United States Commissioner Lester l.. Hubbard for bail higher than S30,000 said the Albany man had no business and he can pick up his wife in an automobile and disappear any time."
 During the past year we have at tempted many times to get him as q material witness at New York. l have in the office seven subpoenas returned by the federal officials who reported they could not find lim."
 Cooke was not successful in seek ing the higher bail. Neither wctc O'Connelfs Albany attorneys, Joseph A. Murphy and Joseph l.. Delaney. Tn asking one lower. Murphy and De- laney denied the fugitive from jus ticc allegation.
 With O'Connoll in custody. said Cooke, the circuit court will go ahead with it's decision on his appeal from the contempt of court charge on which he was sentenced to serve months by q district court judge last summer.' This charge also grew out of the investigation of the pool and it's operations.
 If the circuit court upholds tho decision of the lower court in the contempt matter Cooke said, OCon- nell will have 10 turn himself over 10 the jurisdiction 10 he southern district officials without more ado. IT. the meantime, Cooke explained, these officials can bring the defenl4 ant before any north district judge on a removal order

New York. Jan. - New York banks may find a way to thvart holdups of their bullion-c carrying trucks and messengers by the use of a city-Wide pneumatic tube system, similar to that used by the post office department for the delivery of mail 10 it's various branches.
 With pneumatic tubes running underground from the large banks in Wall street 10 their distant branches, it is declared that there would be no more need of armored trucks with their accompanying po- lice and guards for the transporta- ton of money and securities.
 The Federal Reserve bank alone requires between 50 and 75 armored trucks 10 transport more than 40 tons of currency daily to the local banks. This means the employment of hundreds of special officers, dri"- CTS and guards, while the danger still exists of being stopped by some ingenious holdup.
 Pneumatic tube experts say that there is no possibility of robbery from the pneumatic tube system, be- cause the entire line is hidden under ground. If ah tube were penetrated by q drill, the escaping compressed air would suffoCate the culprits.
 That a pneumatic tube system for the banks of New York would be particularly feasible and profitable is shown by the fact that there are 50 banks and 45 trust companies in the Wall street area which keep up a constant flow of armored trucks and messengers with the c9S branches uptown. Ten thousand special messengers and guards are employed to handle the currency and bullion in New York.
 The New York post office depart ment uses pneumatic tubes to trans fer mail from the main post office to it's branches in Manhattan, the Bronx and Brooklyn, while the U. <. treasury also uses tubes 10 send . Ills of lading and other papers be <" "cen the customs house and the appraisers warehouse
 It mas also been pointed out that the despatch of mail or securities by pneumatic tube is much faster than by truck, because of the avoid ance of traffic congestion in New York's busy downtown. While the containers in the tubes travel at a regular speed of 80 miles an hour, the average speed of a truck in downtown New York is between ' r. and 10 miles an hour.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 15.-The extraor-
binary ease of money is eXemplif1ed
in the fact that all rates in the Wall
Street market have slipped down to
new low levels for a period of years,
with call funds available outside the
Stock Exchange at 212 per cent for
the first time since 1925, on the eve
of the huge March Is quarterly set
tlement
The cut in the Federal Reserve bank
rate, which precipitated this fresh re-
Taxation in credit, affects first of all
those markets which are most sensi-
tive to bank rate fluctuations.
In the municipal bond market a veri-
table scramble for desirable issues has
ensued, with the immediate effect of
lowering the basis from five to ten
one-hundredthS of l percent. AS an
outcome, New York State issues are
quoted now at prices to yield less than
4 per cent, while New York City bonds
dropped to a 4.20 basis
The cheaper borrowing rate establish
ed for municipals will tempt States and
cities to seek loans and the money thus
obtained and spent will aid, of course,
in promoting a business recovery.
The reduction in the bank rate also
was welcomed in the mortgage market
because of the hope that it will cheaper
mortgage money and thereby revive
building construction. One of the main
stumbling blocks in the recovery of the
building industry has been tight credit
Rates for loans on real estate have held
firmly all through the last few months
when other money rates have been 60

MARCH BUSINESS
REPORTED SPOTTY
Trade Feels Touch of Spring
and Building Trend Reg
listers UptWn.

Early March business indicators show
the usual instability and irregularity Of
March weather and basic industrial ac-
tivity in the United States continues
to slacken, says the Business Week in
its report covering the week ending
March is.
The secondary weakness of business
that developed in late February, fore
Swallowed by the downward drift OF
stock prices for the month, may run
on some way into March, but there IS
some reason this week to hope 1t Will
not be prolonged.
Steel is down, somewhat sharply, for
the third consecutive week, in contrast
to last years roaring upward swing, and
the Spring peak seems farther away.
A belated chill of caution about con-
sumner demand has caught steel and
automobiles. Coal production con-
tinues to slide. and even oil Is running
more slowly. The building trend, how
ever, is definitely upward after some
hesitancy in the middle of February.
Trade. too, has relt touch of Spring
and begins to stir encouragingly. Nom
bulk carloadingS have further cut their
deficit to about 2 per cent below last
year and have at last practically caught
up with 1928. Money turnover outside
stock trading centers also is swinging
somewhat nearer last years levels.
Commodity prices are still feeble, but
their sinking spells are growing less
frequent and acute.
