 BALANCE TO-DAY
Prosecutor Demands Death Penalty for the Brutal Murder Defense AttOr= ney Says It Was Accident

Valparaiso, Ind, March 10.-(UP) The fate of Virgil Kirkland, Gary athlete, was in the balance to-day as attorneys argued whether he set free, imprisoned, or electrocuted on conviction of killing his sweetheart at drinking party.
 ''This young hoodlum is as guilty of murder as if-yes, as if he had stabbed Arlene Draves with a knife; and he should pay the supreme penalty" was the way Prosecutor John Underwood summed up the sit- uation as he saw it. "It Is apparent the girl died of an accidental fall and it would be an injustice to find this defendant guilty" was the de- fense attorneys answer. Underwood pictured Kirkland as plotting for days to attack Miss Braves at a drinking party at David Thompson's s home in Gary last November 29th.

 ROCKET SLED
Syracuse Engineering Pu- pill Had Several Tests Yesterday, That Were Not Very Successful

Syracuse, N. Y., March 10-(UP) Harry W. Bull, 21-year-old Syra- cuse university engineering student. was confident of the eventual suc- cess of his rocket sled to-day after demonstrating that it could be pro- pelled at least 50 feet. The rocket sled, a low, torpedo-shaped vehicle, travelled 50 feet across the slush ice of Lake Oneida on each of five trials yesterday, the third successive day on which public demonstrations had been attempted. Faulty con- nections caused postponements Sat urday and Sunday.
 The dash yesterday ended in a snowbank where the craft lodged and whiled around. Bull disconnect- ed his rockets and intimated he would abandon his trials for the present. Timing by one of Bulls fellow students indicated the rocket sled covered the 50 foot distance in 2-5 second.

 Hartford, March 10-The special committee appointed by the New Haven county legislators to consider plans for additions to the present court on Kendrick avenue in Wa terbury repored today it was the committees unanimous decision that along the Leavenworth street side. The report which is being considered by the county legislators this after noon states that the cost of the ad- dition including the purchase of the land needed for the building, will amount to about $400,000.
 The committee met with several county legislators at the Waterbury court house yesterday afternoon. At the meeting the question arose as to which side should be used for the construction of the addition. The court house is now situated along Kendrick avenue and it was at first thought that the addition should be built along the same side. A num- Der of prominent Waterburians at- tended the meeting and pointed out that the city would benefit in beauty if the addition were to be c0nstruct- ed along LeavenwOrth street side. The county owns about 15 feet along Leavenworth street and if the Lea venworth street side Is decided upon it will mean the purchase of addi- tional land for the project.
 The Merchants Trust company is the owner of the land between the Griggs Investment building and the court house, the site proposed for the new addition. It is the plan of the bank to erect a new building there in the spring. Henry Weyand. president of the Merchants Trust company, said the bank is not anx- ious to sell the property but if the county legislators believe they need the property to beautify the city. the bank will sell the property at cost
