Under these conditions the judge suspended sen- tence for a period of six months in his case.
 Matulis Changes Mind
 Matulis, watching the proceed ings carefully and surprised that his friend Villa, with whom he had admitted chumming around for the past four years, had not been sen tenced. appealed to tho judge, claiming now that he would much rather work in the factory than go to the reformatory at Cheshire. He said that his original impulse 10 go to the reformatory was merely to allow him to keep company with his friend, William Villa, and that been committed. he saw no reason for going 10 the school. He now maintained that the job at the fac tory in New Britain was excellent and that he much preferred work in the factory to commitment to the reform school. Judgment was sus- pended in his case for a period of six months pending good behavior.
