 tercatiOn

Mayor PaOnessa today threatened to "clean out the office" when prin- cipals in a building dispute hurled charges and counter charges, threat ening court action against each oth- CT, and brought on a general dis turbance in the executive offices.
 Samuel and Abe Kolodney, Apem- bcrs of the firm of Kolodney Bkoth- CTS, charged Inspector A. N. Ruth erford with "whitewashing' the facts in the First National Store row which involves Stanley street building projecting two feet over the sideyard limits. The inspector insist cd that he was within his rights when he issued an order to stop work on one side of the building, but permitting work to go ahead on the other. When he declined to change this cdict, Abe Eolodney threatened court action and Samuel kolodney charged incompetency in the building department. The kolod- neys insisted that an order for re- moval of the wall should be issued.
 Attorney Cyril r. Gaffney, counsel for the builder, insinuated that the kolodneys might know who chang ed the building profiles and caused the structure to be illegally erected. and this brought about a heated argument between the lawyer and the Kolodneys.
 Mayor Paonessa instructed the building inspector to bring the mat ter to the attention of his commits sion and seek to settle the matter amicably. The builder has agreed to remove the wall, but did not specify a time limit, and Attorney Gaffney mentioned the likelihood that there will be an appeal to the board of adjustment and the courts 70 allow the structure to stand IS now built. facts which the mayor asked probed.
 At a conference this afternoon at the office of the mayor, it was agreed that work on removal of the wall will start tomorrow and be completed without delay.

State Will Call Convict to Tes-

DETECTIVE RESUMES TALE
Cannot Identify Moulthropc, But
 Says Lalonc Shot Him-Strugglc On Other Side of Car With Smith Hidden From Him.

Jacksonville. Fla. March (UP) State testimony was resumed in circuit court today in the trial of Roland Lalonc and Watson Moul- thropc, Connecticut convictS, charged with the murder of Jacksonville De- tectivc w. D. smith here January 19.
 Detective Willie Jones, wounded in q gun battle with Lalone, Mouthrope and their convict companion, Leo Landry, opened the state's case Wednesdas by accusing Lalone of being the man who assaulted him.
 The detective. however, could not identify Moulthropc as a member of the convict trio. Landry, who will be given a separate trial. made a con- fession after his arrest that Moul- thropc was the one who shot De- tcCtvc smith to death.
 Landry to Be Called
 Detective Jones was recalled for further examination and cross-eXam- ination today. Landry was expected to be called by the state to complete it's major presentation of witnesses after Jones.

 He saw nothing of the battle on the opposite side of the automobile nor of the shooting of smith. In cross examination, however, he did say that he thought it virtually impossi- ble" that any of the shots fired by Lalone hit smith.
