COURT D|SNISSES
 CALIN| ON NOLLE
Man Accused With Killing Of Policeman Freed in New Haven

New Haven, Feb. 2G.-PN- Judge Alfred C. Baldwin today noll- cd tho charge of Dlanslauchtcr against Dante Calini, who was on trial for the fatal shooting of Patrolman Raymond Zolcr.
 The trial collapsed after court opened this morning. Several wit nesses were ready 10 be called when States Attorney Samuel E. Ioyt. and defense counsel went into d conference with Judge Baldwin. A few minutes later Judge Baldwin returned to the bench and announc- cd that the charge of manslaughtor had been nollcd because the states evidence was not strong enough for a conviction.
 Trial Opened Yesterday
 The trial opened yesterday. A jury was selected and four witnesses were heard before adjournment.
 Calni was arrested after he had shot Zollcr in the arm when the latter with two other officers raidcd. his homo in Allingtown, December 2G. The officer died the following day.
 A grand jury refused to indjct the 80 year old pastry cook on a charge of murder in the first degree and he was arrested on q warrant charging manslaughtcr.
 CaIini contended he thought the raidinG officers were members of a gang bent on doing him harm,
 In announcing the nollc, Judge Baldwin said, The circumstances under which this unfortunate incl dent took place were in my opinion such that the state ought not to proceed. The evidence laid before me by the counsel leads me 10 the conclusion that according to the law in this state the accused might req sonahly have thought that serious injury was contemplated against him, his family and his house at the time he shot, and I feel that the duty resting upon mo is 10 dis pose of this case in this way
 No Demonstration in Court
 The court room was filled at the time, but there was no demonstra- ton. Calini told newspapermen aft erward that he stood in the bed room of his home when he fired the shot with the sole idea of frightening away the marauders as he thought thpV were
 Zoler broke through the door of tho kitchen just at that moment.
 The defense, it was understood was prepared to contend that the patrolman's death was partly due to the lack of immediate hospital treatment,
