JUDGE PEASLEY DEFERRED SENTENCE
Anthony Orantes Found Guilty of Robbery Charge
 in Superior Court
OTHER CASES HEARD

A verdict of guilty on robbery charge was brought in by the jury in the criminal superior court yes terday afternoon in the case of An thony Ornates, 21, arrested on the complaint of Vincent Prudik. The latter claimed he was forced into car. robbed and beaten. Judge Fred erick M. Peasley deferred sentence until companion, alleged to have taken part in the robbery, is tried. The companion, Stanley GruZas, 23, elected a court trial.
 The case was briefly presented and went to the jury at 2:15 o'clock, the judge having charged the jurymen in the fifteen minutes period following the opening of court for the after noon session. Harry l.. Clark of Mid dlebury, the foreman, announced the
 decision and Ornates, who has been in jail since last moth, was returned
 there last night pending GruZas' trial.
 The robbery took place on the night of Nov 2S, and Prudik was
 found bleeding and dazed by a friend who took him to his home. He
 complained to police that he had been
 robbed of $S7 and two factory
 checks and identified Ornates and
 Gruzas as the two.
 Suspended sentences to the state
 reformatory, and probation for each young man until the opening of the
 June term of the superior court, were given David Cronan, 19; Thom- as Mulcahy, 19 and Roccie Meo, 23. yesterday by Judge Peasley. The youths pleaded guilty to attempt breaking and entering on the night of November IA. the object of the attempted break being a grocery store on the corner of Hill street and Hillview avenue.

Mr.. WadSworth explained that the

Nation remain as a Federal Union of

THE extension of branch banking
through state action would mean
that states not now permitting state

doubtless would insure deliber-

I'VE find some bankers who feel
that proper stimulus to the devel-

given by the Federal Government

ing broader privileges within state
lines to national banks than they
now enjoy. 1t is argued that state
governments could then follow suit
as to state banks and that in this
way a more progressive branch
banking attitude might be promoted
by the national banks taking the
lead. While we do not deny that
there may be some merit in this
view as to some specific localities.
we stand firm nevertheless on the
principle that no such grant of
powers to national banks should
cross state lines, or exceed the priv
ileges that state legislatures could

Moreover we believe that IL the
