"The available statistical record for

that the long decline has at last been

Of recovery is in sight.

be understood as foreshadowing q
sharp and sustained advance from

spectacular ascending squirt might not
be an unmixed good, even in the rather

PROSECUTOR FAINTS
AT BUCKLEY TRIAL
Collapse Comes After His
Principal Witness Is EIimi-
mated From Case.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, March 18.-Harry s. Toy,
prosecuting attorney, collapsed in the
court room today during examination
of a witness in the trial of three men
accused of the murder OF Jerry Buck
ley.
Mr.. Toy, who had Just suffered the
setback of having testimony OF one of
his chief witnesses eliminated from the
record, dropped during the questioning
of Arnold Nipple, taxicab driver. He
was revived in a short time.
The prosecution in the trial OF the
three men indicted for the assassina-
ton OF Gerald E. Buckley July %, today
was confronted with the arrest of its
principal witness and the obliteration
OF all his testimony.
The witness eliminated was Fred
Tara, who yesterday said he saw Ted
Pizzino and Angelo Liyecchi run into
the La Sale Hotel 80 seconds before the
Snootlng occurred. Pizzino and LiYecchi
are on trial with Joe Bommarito.
Recorders Judge Edward j Jeffries
ordered Tara's arrest after the latter
had refused to answer questions asked
by defense counsel regarding his Grim
tnal record. The witness stated that he
stood on his constitutional rights and
would not answer because he feared for
his life
Judge Jeffries ordered Tara's impris-
onment on technical charge of con-
tempt. He also directed that all Tara's
testimony be stricken from the record
and that the jury ignore all the evil
dence he gave yesterday.
Taras information was instrumental
in effecting the extradition of Pizzino
from New York last Summer when the
latter was arrested. He claimed he was
not in Detroit at the time Buckley was
slain.
