The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-04-14

One of the largest crowds to gather In the court room was present as the arguments were presented. Another crowd of spectators lined the streets around the court room. unsuccessful in their attempts to gain entrance to the building.

Tor komian, Amerigo Distefano and Sul- livan on assault charges was re- sumed. Attorney Mitchell G. Meyers. assistant prosecutor of the city court. who has been assisting States Attor- ney Lawrence l.. Lewis in the prose- cution of this case was the first to open the arguments for the state. taking an hour and five minutes in outlining the case and asking for conviction of the three accused.
  guments States Attorney Lewis in- formed the court that the state would not press the charge of drug ging with intent to commit crime against Distefano.
 Both Dr Max Mailhouse. noted alienist of New Haven. and Dr Roy l.. Leak, superintendent of the state insane asylum at Middletown testi- fled that In their opinion. Sullivan was sane. Their testimony took about 20 minutes. Dr Mailhouse, first to take the stand, said he was "A years of age "plus'' and that he specialized in nervous and mental diseases. He said he examined Sul- livan at the country jail last Friday and again in the ante room of the states attorneys office here in the court room this morning. Asked by States Attorney Lewis what his be- lief was as to Sullivan's sanity. Dr Mailhouse answered, "Ie Is my opin- ion that the man Is of sound mind. He gave slight evidence of condi- tion generally called nervousness. but beyond that he did very well in the examination"
 Attorney A. Henry Weisman cross examined Dr Mailhouse. He asked the doctor whether he had gone in- to Sullivan's history concerning his injury in 1924 and the answer was in the affirmative. He said he and Dr Leak went into the matter as thoroughly as they could but did not communicate with the doctors Sul- livan named as having treated him.

 Once down. they ran into clouds of dense white dustlike smoke that the most powerful fashlight failed to penetrate.
 "You can hold a flashlight six iEches in front of your eye and you can't see it." one fireman said of the smoke.

 Attorney Frederick Bauby used 20 minutes in his arguments in de- fense of Baron J. Torkomian. He said he believed Isabella Lituwaitis was telling the truth. "If Sullivan went to Hodson's for cigaretets why didn't he go upstairs to the billiard parlor adjoining the lunch room and converse with Barrett? Continu- ing he stated that if anything had happened in Torkomian's office Isa- belle would have so stated in either city or criminal court.
 Bauby added that Sullivan handed the druggist 50 cents for the drug, but Judge Baldwin interrupted and asked him whether it was 50 cents he handed to the clerk or whether the clerk demanded 50 cents as the cost for the drugs. Bauby said that the change Sullivan received from the $2 bill he handed the clerk Sullivan should have had enough money to pay for the cof- fee he purchased at the restaurant and added that Sufllvan's testimony guments Attorney Bauby asked Judge Baldwin to give his client, Baron J.

 That he be permitted to 1eaye Spain with appropriate honors. be permitted time to arrange his per- sonaI belongings, and be given full military honors on his departure. Official sources understood the royal family would proceed to Paris tonight by a special train. The king struggled to the last to save his throne by peaceful means, but he capituIated when he re- alized that to defy the republicans would throw the country into civil war and bloodshed.
 The republicans, who carried al- most every city of Spain in Sundays municipal elections. were in the sad dle. and they gave the king to un- derstand there could be no com promise.

Hartford, Conn, April 14-In the house today Representatives Thoms and Mahaney voted against a suc- cessor to the famous Bridgeport ripper bill of six years ago. It will be recalled that this was the fore- runner of a series of ripper bills that the republican legislature used to chastise democratic cities and balky republican ones. Tn Bridge ports case the bill provided for the appointment of its tax collector for term of six years. The police sen- iority bill was Waterbury's share. The bill voted on to-day renamed Bridgeport's tax collector for six more years. It was reported favor ably and passed despite the stren- uous objection of democratic legis- lators who maintained that there was no need now for the state to interfere with tax collections or tax collectors in Bridgeport.

Bourbon Dynasty Ends G3y United. PrcsS)


 The Bourbon dynasty in Spain has suffered many such assaults since Philip V ascended the throne in 17O0.
 Philip conquered the hearts of his subjects in Aragon, Catalonia and Valencia only by force of arms and Barcelona-the hotbed of revolution even to-day-was not taken until 1714.
 The internal situation remained undisturbed to any great extent through four reigns to the 18th cen- tury. when Spain was affected by the French revolution. resulting in in- vasion by the French republican troops in the Pyrenees and a hu- initiating treaty of peace for Spain. Napoleon dominated and finally attacked Spain, trying to force the nation to accept Joseph Bonaparte as king. He met with an uprising of the people--a guerrilla war which finally caused the emperor's downfall and the retreat of the French from Spain. The dynasty was restored under Ferdinand VII, who ruled until 1920, when a revo-
