Louis but showing plenty of fight
However, there's nothing in the
case of the Cubs to get excited
or even hopeful about. They
went into the runnerup groove

badly.

Three Accused Are
 Hurried To Jail
(continued from Page 1.)

1 States Attorney Lewis won't bs hard on them when he understand the predicament in which the two found themselves. One had Concern for her sister, the other for hi brother as well as his mother" | Interrupting Mrs Sullivan at one juncture of her testimony in which she had stated that she tried to keeI the affair quiet and wanted only to take her sister away from Water. bury so that she could obtain fresh start and forget everything disagree able about her experience, Judge McGrath asked the question "Evi- dently you didn't care to have these i men who rayished your sister pun ished?'
 No. your honor, thought only of her. didn't stop to think of the men involved. was given to under stand from the start that everything was to be kept quiet and that her name was not to be given to the newspapers. After we told the story in Superintendent McLean's office we went away without being informed that we would be wanted or that ar- rests would be made. No one sum- moned us and no one had to come to New York to request us to return. We came back to Waterbury as soon as we learned that Isabelle had left the home in which we placed her and had come back here. I went to see her yesterday and they refused to let me. She has not broken the law, so why should she be punished.
 Little Girl Breaks
 During the time Isabelle Lituaitis was on the witness stand she faced the crowded court room and kept her eyes averted from those of her sister and the latter's husband, who sat within q few feet of the witness ! stand. The little girl and her con stant companion. Mrs Josephine Sharksy of ozone Park. l.. 1. who returned to Waterbury with her and Lieutenant William Pollard last Fri day evening. had been kept in se- ciusion. Notwithstanding the efforts of the police by posting officers at the various entrances of the City Hall and the court room the cham Der was crowded when the trial got under way. Miss Lituwaitis avoided her sister when she was ushered to the stand through the judges room. After testifying about her sister. the little girl "cracked" under the strain and commenced to cry. Don't cry, lizzie" pleaded her sis- ter leaping from her chair and start ing toward the stand to comfort the child. Mrs Sullivan was prevented from touching her sister and was gently pushed back into her chair. The little witness bowed her head for minute or two and cried. She then wiped the tear stains from her face and strengthening up faced Prosecuting Attorney Mitchell G.. Meyers and proceeded to tell her story.
 PitifuI Story of Girl
 Torkomian. Sullivan and Distefano after being bound over were imme- diately ushered out of the court room and returned to the cell guar ters of police headquarters. The child was saved the necessity of fac- ing them. She was not Il witness against them to-day. She was giving recorded testimony which impli- cates her sister and the hter's hus- band. She told her story very quietly and confidently. She made an excel lent witness

FARM BOARD WILL BUY NO WHEAT
 GROWN IN l93l

Washington, March 23.--(UP).- Official Washington, especially that group particularly interested in the farm relief problem, awaited with interest to-day the nations reaction to the federal farm boards an- nouncement that it would buy no 1881 wheat.
 The board. in statement re- leased this morning. said that while changed, it will permit no furhter use of It's funds for begging the price of next years crop. If the farmers want relief. the statement said. they can get 1t by curtaiiing production.
 From Senator Capper. republican, Kansas, farm bloc leader, came the response that the change in policy was both a shock and a disap- pointment." Capper, who is in To- peka, told the United Press that while "the farm board couldn't keep on forever buying wheat, just to keep pretty bad effect on the grain situa- tion next year" He said the board should have held back It's announce ment until later in the year.
 Senator Nye, republican, North Dakota, said the new policy may re- suit in a "serious calamity" Sen- ator Borah, republican, Idaho. an outspoken critic of the present farm relief act. said he would have some comment to make to-day.
 A hint that some of the 200, 900, ,000 bushels now held by the boards grain stabilization corporation may be put back on the market was con. tained in the statement that the cor poration "cannot indefinitely buy more than its sells, or indefinitely hold what 1t has bought"

under bonds of $500 each. The bail was reduced from $1,500, which was posted yesterday on the surrender of the young couple to the police.
 Following the adjournment of court Mrs Sullivan was allowed to converse with her sister, whose tes- timony implicated her. There was plenty of sympathy in evidence for both, but especially for Isabelle, who save for the few minutes in which she cried, faced the crowded court unfiinchingly and proved a splendid witness.
 Bench Warrants Possible
 In view of the seriousness of the charges against Torkomian, Sullivan and Distefano and the widespread public interest in the cases States Attorney Lewis is very likely to have the trio arraigned in superior court at once. When asked to-day if he planned such n procedure by having bench warrants sworn out at once, he remarked:
 T rather think I shall ask for bench warrants in this case owing to the circumstances. I should have to ask for substantial bond to hold the girl as q material witness until the trial took It's regular course at the June criminal term. should not like to place her under any further
