100 nilitiarnen formed 8 square about the executfuners. The end of Schirru's remarkable career as a gay figure in Rome's night clubs and as leader of an aft- archist band followed his summary trial and conviction by the Fascist tribunai. The death sentence came Ut the close of the first and only day of his trial. Schirru confessed during his trial That he had come to Italy with an American passport to assassinate Mussolini. He was pale and nervous as he replied to questions from the court. which was composed of five superior officers of the blackshirf
 (Fascist) militia and two civilian Judges.
 The young anarchist admitted that he had taken rooms in a hotel on street along which MuYsolini ire quently passed.
 Sch:rru was described as 9 dan- rerous anarchist. He struggled against capture when arrested last February, wounding three policemen and then attempting to commit sui- eide. He shot himself, but the bull let passed through both cheeks With out inflicting serious injury.

hearing brief arguments for leniency. Judge McEvoy sentenced Frederic Kingston to five to 12 years ana Harold Kingston to one to i've.
 Attorney Charles J. Martin, rep resenting the convicted brokers, obtained a stay of execution of sen teflce pending an appeal to the state supreme court of errors. Judge Mc- Evoy granted the motion and set bond for Frederic Kingston at $40,- 900 and Harold at $20,000. The lat ter supplied the amount but his brother, president of the defunct F. E. Kingston and Company which had dealt with millionss was forced to spend the night in Hartford Coun- ty jail while his friends sought funds with which to obtain his release.
 Judge McEvoy, presiding at his first major trial since appointment to the superior court bench, held the Kingstons guilty of misrepre- senting the value of securities to Att torney Robert H. o. Schulz of Bos- ton, a heavy investor in Connecti- cut Trading Corporation stock. and of conspiracy under common law and the state law.

conspiracy under the common law, he sentenced Frederic E. Kingston to three years and his brother to one year. On the sixth count, charging conspiracy under the state security statute he sentenced Frederic p. Kingston to two years and Harold p. Kingston to one year. Under the state law, it is provided that when an accused is found guilty onl two or more charges there shall be only one minimum sentence fixed. the other penalties being added to the maxi-i mum of the first.
 Freed Men Happy
 When the last words had been spoken, the sentences pronounced on the convicted men and their co-de- fendants formally discharged on the motion of the states attorney, many in the crowd in the court room pushed forward and an impromptu reception was held by Field, Smith and Grandahl, who were congratu- lated on all sides. Even MT Alcorn, who had sought as hard to convict Colonel Field, as he had the King ston brothers, shook hands with the New Haven attorney, whose acquit- |tal not only preserves his profes- 'sional standing but his military career, of which he is so proud, as well.
 For a few minutes the Messrs Kingston were forgotten. Stunned by the decision but maintaining their courage, they sat together, tir- ed and haggard by the ordeal, whis- pering to each other over the out come. At the first opportunity they telephoned their families, telling them to be brave. MT Powell came up from New Haven but the prop erty he offered as Q basis for the bond of Frederic E. Kingston had Ia mortgage on it which reduced its value below the required figure. Ef- forts to have other friends put up the necessary balance were not success full and at 9 o'clock MT Kingston was taken to jail cell.
 AlcOrn Secures Records.
 The state secured an order from the court impounding all of the ex- hibits, numbering more than 300. in the custody of County Detective Ed ward J. Hickey, under the direction of the clerk of the court. These will be held until the appeal is finally dis posed of and for any further investi- gation which may develop but they will be opened for the use of At !torney Benjamin Slade, of New Ha- |ven, federal receiver in bankruptcy for F. E. Kingston & company, if he needs them. The status of John H. Reid, as a result of the acquittal of Smith and |Grandahl, was not made known defi- |nitely following the rtial but it ap- |peared virtually certain that the charges against him would be nolled. Reid, the target for a vehement at- |tack during the arguments of MT Martin, was defended by MT Alcorn. who said he had come to the aid of the state, after first retaining MT Martin. when 1t appeared to him that the defense intended to make him ''the goat" for the collapse of the firm and the arrest of its princi- pal officers.

Bot Plead Not Guilty to Charge of Selling Liquor Above Prescribed Alcoholic Content - Federal Men Operate Under New Plan Initiated By Director Sengle

The federal agents operated here yesterday without the co-operation of members of the emergency squad. It is understood that Prohibition En- forcement Director Robert Sengle now favors the purchase system. The advance agent equipped with suffi- cient funds Is expected to spend gov
 ernment money for drinks. He is privileged to have as many as he |pleases as long as he remembers his duties later. The state enforcement office has no need to advertise for |agents with such qualifications. In former years it was the prac- tice of an agent to buy pint or two |of liquor and later present the bot tiles in court as evidence. Now it is the plan to have the agent drink booze or wine and depend upon the cleanup squad seizing what re- mains.

 When Jim Wallace arrived home at 5:30 he found Gypsy in the kit chen enveloped in huge apron that had been discarded by lis aunt.
 "Hel-loh!" exclaimed Jim. What's going on here?'
 "The cook I hired couldn't come until tomorrow. Don't you like beans?"
 "sure. Walt minute-I'll open that can for you.''
 Gypsy relinquished the can opener and rushed to the stove where the chops were sizzling. She grabbed the skillet from the flame and lowered the blaze.
 "What do you want me to put these in?" Jim demanded.
 Anything. You'll find dish in that cupboard" The chops were safe again and Gypsy turned back to the table. By the time Jim had found dish to hold the baked beans she had them heating over the fire.
 He lounged awkwardly against the table while Gypsy set out plates and dishes.
 "Listen." Jim suggested, "what's the use of carrying all that stuff into the dining room? Let's eat out here!"
 "Do you want to?"
 Why. sure. What's the matter with that?"
 '.Nothing," said Gypsy. q think 1t will be fun. Here-I'll give you a job if you want it." She set him to whipping cream In blue crockery bowl and to keep him from spattering himself wrapped an apron similar to the one she wore about his shoulders.
 Presently they sat down before a meal of baked beans, fried pork chops and Q rather desultory salad :. There were hot rolls and. steaming coffee that was delicious. For des- sert they had apple pie from the delicatessen with thick cream poured over 1t.
 "All terribly fattening!" Gypsy said with sigh.
 Best meal I've had in long time," declared Jim staunchly. "Is there any more coffee 2"
 She poured him q second cup. Scarcely a crumb remained when tho meal was finished. Jim leaned

 "Just another postscript to the murder. Z. .or almost murder. in taxicab. made boast on the night that the two detectives searched our house for the money bag that Sybil had planted when she masqueraded as was man."
 Another hour dragged on. They wouldn't release Corrinne. Sue came down. The papers had published an extra. The newsboys were calling the headlines. It was raining. Dark rain that flooded the streets and streamed against the windows.
 Sue and Jack were at peace with each other. Corrine saw. And she became lonelier than ever. Lonely for Harry who by now, she reason- ed, must know of her new trouble.
 But Harry didn't come. As the minutes passed Corrinne's heart grew steadily heavier. Every time the heavy outer doors opened, she leaned forward eagerly. And every time she strengthened back in her chair second later, just a little more desolate than she had been be- fore.
 She told herself that she hated Harry, that she didn't want him to come. And she knew that she would have given everything if he had walked in.
 Word came from the hospital that Sybil had regained consciousness The district attorney, reporters, at- torneys. .. then were all on hand to question her.
 Corrinne wondered wha she would say.
 While she was wondering an of- ficer stepped up to her. Mrs Becker, do you remember the number of the taxicab which you were hired to driver"
 It seemed to Corrinne that the figures were etched in glaring black letters for everyone to see.
 "Yes." She repeated them.
 "Did you know that this cab in which Sybil Lester and Bedding went driving in was the one that was stolen from your sister?"
 Tt was?" Some intuitive streak warned her not to admit the knowl- edge.
 Were you keeping that cab for any purpose? Will you swear you didn't go to the scene of the shoot ing in the cab"
 "Of course! Don't be stupid. I drove my own car. Your men saw It.. You can check up on the license plates easily enough and see that 1t Is mine. What made you ask?"

NANCY PAGE There is Chemistry and Sense Back of Stain Removal
 By Florence GA 7anke.
sy FIorcnce IA esanl.e.

Ordinarily Joan was a neat and tidy child. But the condition of her white linen dress showed just what
 had happened to her cup of cocoa.
 Nancy went to her spot and stain file and looked up the remedy. She refreshed her memory first with the
 general methods for removing spots.
 A fresh stain on most household
 linens and washable dresses will come out with nothing but cold,
 fresh water if 1t is used while stain
 is still fresh and before 1t has had time to set.
 But when one is in doubt 1t is
 best to send the garment to a pro- fessional cleaner since he knows the chemistry of spots. Amateur efforts at home may destroy the fabric or set the color irrevocably. Alakalies like soda, ammonia,
 strong soaps destroy wools and silks. For them 1t may be possible to use dilute acids such as oxalic and cit-
 ric. But it is wise to try the chem ical on a seam under arm where
 results won't show before using the chemical on the material. To remove cocoa, chocolate. coffee
 or tea moisten spot with cold water.

 minutes, then pour hot water over aDot
