Harry S. Coe, long a leader in the local republican party, to-day came to the defense of Daniel J. Leary, democratic candidate for controller, with regard to the charge that has been made by George Greene. MT Leary's repub- lican opponent, that water bill of the Diamond Bottling company, of which MT Leary is theactive head, was unfairly abated.
 MT, Coe is president of the Dia- mond Bottling company and is the husband of Mrs Elizabeth w. Coe, one of the most active of the local women republicans who served the local republican party as a repre- sentative in the general assembly.
 Mir Goes statement, which sets forth that the claim of Mir Greene is erroneous follows:
 "1 have noticed in the news paper accounts of the political speeches of Mir Greene, republic can candidate for comptroller, several references to the fact that some abatement was made on water bill of the Diamond Bottling corporation, of which corporation, Mir Lcary, his op- ponent, is treasurer. and inti- mating that tho abatement was unwarrantcd. and was procured by Mir Leary through his politi- cal influence.

The issues involved in the writ prepared to bring about Leopold's release are both technical and in teresting. Leopold was indicted on several counts. Two of them were for first degree murder. The other two charged wilful burning of a building which caused the death of two Moynihan children in the Bald win street structure which was razed by fire. When Leopold was presented in court he was also obliged to plead guilty to an addi- tional charge of arson.
 The jury in its final verdict found Leopold not guilty of first degree murder and also not guilty Of will ful burning of a building and causing death therefrom. At the same time the jury found Leopold guilty of second degree murder and of arson. .4.
 In the papers prepared and ready for service on States Attor- ney Lewis, it is charged that the jury was in error in it's finding and the judge was in error in accepting the verdict. Using ordinary words, the paps's ask how a jury could have found Leopold guilty of ar son, which means wilful burning of a building, and at the same time find him not guilty of wilful burn ing of a building so as to cause death to the two Moynihan chill dren and not guilty of first degree murder. 8
 Under the Connecticut laws, tho burning of a building, which is wilful, and if it causes the death of anybody, constitutes first degree murder whether there was any in tent or not.
 Attached to the writs waiting to be served on States Attorney Lewis are aff1davits from Omar Platt. who was foreman of the grand jury which indicted Leopold. Judge Jen- nings, who certifies to the financial bond filed to assure the state of the plaintiffs funds to prosecute his claim, and from Attorney George H. Freeman, clerk of the local SUI perior court. certifying to the sen- tence delivered by the court at the end of the trial and following the jCry's verdict.

Pumping Station
 Will Be Built
 To Aid Pressure

The entire western section of the city, long suffering inconviences due to a hazardously low water pressure, will soon be entirely re- lieved, Mayor Frank Hayes at A meeting last night with democratic party leaders revealed that work is to be started at once on the con- struction of the big new pumping station to be located on city prop erty adjacent to the Isolation hos pital on watertown avenue. Pipe for the big job of increasing the pressure is arriving at the city yc-c~ daily and work will be start ed within two weeks. When work Is completed adequate pressure Tor every home in the western section will be available and a fire and health hazard which has existed for years throughout this entire section will be removed.
 The mayor informed the demo- cratic le..ders last night that he looks upon the relief to be afford ed the residents of the western section of the city as one of the big achievements of his adminis- tration. He stated that 1t was one of the first problems submitted to him when he took office and that he promised at the outset that he would do all in his power to rem edy conditions, 1t being his beilcf that people who, were paying Tor water should get what they pay for.
 He explained that there was no |. .oney available at the outset of his administration to start work.

political propaganda which Mir Greene is putting forth, but as a stockholder in and president of tion, I resent the inference that this concern ever sought abate- mcnts from the city to which 1t was not entitled.
 "I am very familiar with the facts in the case which was closed during the Guilfoile ad- ministration.
 ''Thc water bill in question was of an amount which was so out of proportion, that 1t was un- occasionally wrong, and was ad- mittcd so to be, by the city ofIi- cials and everyone else who knew anything about it.
 "The city authorities took the matter under consideration and after over a year of invcstiga- ton and study made the abate- mcnt of which Mir Greene com plains.

 The gray-haired millionaire. who has given millions to charity, and who severed. all connection with industry when elected a senator. charged New York bankers with responsibility for wage and salary reductions.
 "One banker, who sits at the head of the executive committee of one of our great industries. has issued an order for wage cuts which will effect one million peo- ple," the senator said.
