forte had previously testified that if was Attorney Cssale who insisted on taking the appeal to the court Of common pleas.
 The $500 which the attorney charged was explained by him. He charged s150 for his services in the North Haven court and the court Of common pleas, also for his ap- pearance before the commissioner of motor vehicles when he was suc- Ccssful in having Biaforte's license returned to him after brief sus- pension. The fine was s75 and i' was estimated that the costs would amount 10 approximately the same amount. They actually fell short of. that figure by about s25 but Attor- ney Casale explained that there were incidental expenses and he considered $75 would cover every thing over and above the fine.
 Bjatorte first asked the attorney for the g. GOO which was left of the $3.300 drawn from the bank, about the middle Of the summer and oo July 96 he paid him s100. Biaforte told him he was hard up" and the attorney was willing to do what he could for him but he could not give him the s3OU0 as he, too. was hard pressed for ready cash, having had q poor summer in his profession.
 BiafoIte Complains of Headaches
 Biaforte told him, the attorney continued, that he was troubled by pains in the head especially when the weather turned cold and he dis liked 10 work in the open on that account. This prompted the attorney 10 give him temporary employment in his home, papering and rainting. for which he offered 10 pay him s25 but Biaforte would accept only $15, Casalc testified.
 As 10 the number Of times Bia- forte asked him for his s3,0G0. the attorney said he called at his office once or twice q week. but he did not ask him for the money on every visit. The attorney tried to find em- ploymcnt for him with the city and Biaforte discussed with him plan for going into the chicken raising business, also the purchase of q largo house and dance hall in South Manchester. The attorney intended 10 go 10 Manchester 10 look over tho latter proposition and on one occasion he sent Biaforte 10 Bris- tol 10 try and collect an account for him. he said. At no time was the Biaforte claim placed in law yers hands for collection. Attorney Casale said.
 On the afternoon Of December 8, Attorney Casale testified. he re- ceived a telephone call from Coun. ty Detective Hickey. who wanted 10 See him on matter of mportauce so he drove to Hartford and saw Assistant States Attorney Donald Gaffney and the detective. The lat ter asked him about the Biaforte money and he replied: Why, this is like a bolt from the blue. That was loan from beginning to end Attorney Gaffney asked him when the loan was made and other de- tails, 10 which the attorney replie l that 1t was a personal matter and there were no notes or agreements as he and Biaforte were so well Ar Guaintcd with each other nc for, malities were considered necessary.

sat quietly by and said nothing, ac- cord.ng 10 Quigley. The witness vas excused without cross examination and the defense rested.
 The state called John Sponzo. an Italian interpreter, who testified that A= was in County Detective uickays office on December 5 and diI not recall that q question was put 10 Biatorte as 10 whether the latter and Attorney Casalo had dis cus-ed the matter of negotiating q bank loan q few months ago so as 10 raise money with which to pay back the &3,000.
 Cashier William II. Judd of the New Britain National bank, testified that the only account in Attorney Casale's name in the bank was the trustee account which was referred to yesterday.
 Poverty Called No Defense
 Assistant States Attorney Gaffney reviewed the case in detail from the time ot Biafortes arrest for the North Haven police Up 10 the pres . cnt 1t did not seem plausible that poor hod carrier would sacrifice the interest on his Hte's savings by turning over to an attorney all that money without q note or otheF written understanding to protec' himselt,' le said.
 "It is notfpart of lawyers bust ness to use a clients money and Attorney Casalc's defense that lie was broke was no defense at all. The claim that Blafor'e was amply protected by the written order oli the bank was not well founded. Attorney GaHney said. "becauss thf bank book remained in Attorney Casale's possession ali the time"
 "Under the circumstances it did not seem possible for the court to believe that the money vas le- girimate loau," he said
 Attorney Peek coutenled that the state had not made out d case of eInbezzlemeut. "Thc only testimony to controyert Attorney CasaIe'e claim that the money had been loaned to him was the 'aecond- hand testimony Of Detective Hickey that Biaforte told him 1t was not q loau" he said, "Biaforte was not 2 witness upon whom the court couII 1 place Inc reliance it would be rec cssary 10 plaC" in order to sustain the charge" Peck also made the point that in the North TTaven jus tice's court and in the New Haven court Of common pleas Biafortc's s story on the defense was not be Heved. If he was not believed m the defense I don't believe he should be believed when his testi mony might convict d respectable citizcn,"' he declared.
 CasaIe on Witness Stand
 Attorney Casale was on the wit ness stand late yesterday afternoon for more than two hours, the cross examination by States Attorney Al corn lasting more than an hour. The details of the BiafOrte case were gone into on direct examination by Attorney Peck, Attorney Casale in- sisting that Biarorte was desirous of appealing from the finding of the North Haven justice court because he feared his operators license would be suspended on account oi previous difficulty with the state motor vehicle commissioner.

ObstaClrS Accumulate

Washington, Dec. IS LP-Congress continued today busily throwing ob- stacles in the path of the emer- gency relief program, yet longing for an early conclusion of the mat ter.
 In the house a chance was eX- tended the democrats to obtain a vote on the S6U,000.00U, senate spon- sored drought loan bill. although the republican leaders were confident of defeating the effort and putting through their own $30,O0o.0h0 measure before the close of the day.
 The senate saw a renewal of de- termined, and so far successful ef- forts to reject a preferred comDro- mise with the house on the public works bill It decided also to seek more testimony on unemployment relief, although the appropriations committee which is 10 take it had not decided when to begin.
 May Split Difference
 The drought bill debate was wide open in the house after the rcpub-i. licans yesterday suddenly abandon-' ed efforts through their own measure with the aid Of special parliament tary tactics. and decided to rely on the sheer weight of the normal party ma jority to vote down democratic attempts to amend it. Yet they an- ticipated having 10 split the differ ence in conference with the senate as to amount, perhaps coming out with a $45,O00, ,0o0 figure. Through such q compromise they hoped 10 kill off the provision 10 authorize food loans, strongly opposed by the administration.

Property Tax
Before Board

AUSTIN, June 23-Whether the
state property tax rate can be cut
below the present So cents on the
500 assessment. or whether IL must
be raised for next year. is scheduled
to be decided by Gov. Dan Moody
and other members Of the automat-
ic tax board within the next month.
None of the members has yet
completed tabulations of the money
to be needed for the states opera
ton during the year; but belief was
held In some quarters that the ed
ucational tax, one Of the three ele-
ments in the total rate, may be re-
duced because of the s2,5O0,000 ru-
raj aid appropriation that has Teen
made out of "the other pocket" the
ad valorem state revenues.
The board last year. for the first
time in a decade. cut the educational
tax below its maximum Of So cents.
1t was set at 81 cents this year. The
state rate for support OF the govern
ment is 80 cents, and the Confed-
crate pension rate is 7 cents, making
a total state rate Of 68 cents.
