Startling testimony of sensational mature is expected to be presented by Distefano when he takes the stand in his own defense. It was learned that the accused was in sfeverish frame of mind yesterday after court was adjourned. He IS aiaid to have "opened up" to one of The attorneys for the defense and dis closed details of the case which 10 tate have not been reported.
 It was also learned that a physical examination of Sullivan made made tn the cell in the basement of the county court house yesterday before .,e removal of the prisoners to the county jail at New Haven. Informa- ion as to the result of the exam

In the fijury to his head and back. He ap- ,,iied to Commissioner Williams for compensation as a result of these rjuries and a hearing was held.

CITY FOURTH IN CRIMES
MUCH ACTIVITY ON
 KENDRICK AVENUE
Fifty Women Mending Gar ments for Distribution
 Among Needy People
 DOING GOOD WORK

The hum of fifty sewing machines in the mutual aid unemployment shop" located on Kendrick avenue is an indication of the tremendous amount of good work being done by fifty women in this establishment for the needy in the city. Garments are repaired, cleaned and pressed: {: old clothes which cannot be repaired are cut apart and little pairs of trousers made for youngsters.
 This little factory under the su- pervision of the unemployment com mittee has turned out hundreds of garments in the past three months, and at the same time has furnished employment for fifty women with Q number of dependents and no man in the home.
 Everything that leaves the place is ready for instant use. The gar ments are wonderfully put together, and are clean and pressed so that they are in first class condition.

Connecticut cities during. February. Major crimes in the cities increased in February as compared with Jan- uary. climbing from one murder, three cases of mans1aughter, and two cases of rape in Janury to three murders, two cases of manslaughter and II cases of rape in February. To Waterbury went the doubtful distinction of having two of the February murders, with Norwaik re- porting the third. Manslaughter cases were reported for Bridgeport and Norwalk, with the rape cases be- ing distributed as eight to Stamford and one each to Waterbury, Norwalk and Danbury.
 Onenses Decline fin Hartford.
 Offenses known to the police for february were reported by the jus tlce department as POP for Hart ford, III in New Haven, 135 in Bridgeport, Fl for Waterbury and 5S for Stamford. The Hartford of lenses fell in number from 263 in January, but this decline was prob ably largely due to the shortness of February. Of the 2O2 Hartford off, lenses, the largest S5, were reported as larceny under $50. Sixty-nine were listed as burglary through breaking or entering, 25 as auto theft, IA as larceny of $50 or more. seven as robbery and two as az gravated assault

As a result of second daring att tempt to break jail within the past week Waterbury visitors to certain prisoners in the New Haven county jail will be kept under close surveil- lance by guards. Thomas Guiglilmea, s24, ordered held for superior court under bonds of $10,000, on the charge of robbery with violence. is one of three prisoners now confined in the "cooler" of the county bastile for his alleged partin the attempted escape. He was arrested here in February following sensational holdup of A. Rizk, Griggs street grocer.
 The county officials have secured evidence that visitors to the jail last Saturday apparently smuggled three small hack saws into the institu- ton. Guiglilmeo and two New Ha- ven prisoners then made plans for getaway Last Sunday in the pres- cnce of Baron Tokomian, James Sullivan. Edward Moriarty, Ameri- go Disteano and several other Wa terbury inmates, who are being held for superior court, Guiglilmeo staged fake fight. The prisoners argued and went through the mo- tions of swinging at each other. No physical damage was done, but the fight accomplished the purpose of

committee.
 Large attendance, applause and the like mean nothing to the com mittee on cities and boroughs or to any other committee of the legisla- ture. The briefer the arguments are and the more intelligent they are, the better the committee likes to hear bills.
 Mayor Frank Hayes and members of the city government will attend to present arguments in favor of amendments to the present charter. Mayor Hayes will not ask packers of his plan to ''pack" the committee hearing. He will leave the justness of his claims up to the committee and ask that body to reach a deci- sion based on the arguments offered.

it is not probable that his condition will ever be any better than it IS now. At times he acts normal and at other times he will be exceeding ly depressed and at other times. vio- lent. It is not the opinion of pr Iawior that he is dangerous in the sense that he is likely to do harm to |any of the various people that he has threatened with violence. He is an almost intolerable burden on the family. It is not the opinion of Dr Lawlor, and I do not find that the decompression operation sug. gested by Dr Sharpe would be likely to do him any good. This operation was formerly a very popular one. but it is generally regarded by the medi- cal profession now as simply an operation for acute con- ditions, not chronic conditions.
 "When this young man has his best degree of mentality, he knows he is a burden on the family and this preys upon him and he would like to have money of his own. His mother is honest and conscientious. They have relatives living in Europe and young Sullivan and his mother believe that if a lump settlement was made and the boy was sent with some other member of his family for visit in Europe. the change of environment would be beneficial. Dr Lawlor considers that there is a possibility that this might relieve Sullivan's condition, but declines to state that he believes it reasonably probable.
 This man ought to be in diff ferent environment from what he is. He will never go to any place for treatment unless forcibly com mitted there by legal process. Whether forcible restraint in an asy- lum for the mentally unbalanced would do him any good or make him worse is a question.
 More on Knockout Drops.
 Evidence is also expected to be off, fered by defense experts on the chloraI hydrate, commonly known as "knockout drops" which the state will claim was given to Isabelle on the night of the alleged attack. Evi- dence was presented during the trial that this chloral hydrate was pur- chased by Sullivan in two separate drug stores on Baldwin street. Patrick Brick. proprietor of Brick s Pharmacy at 109 Baldwin street said he sold Sullivan chloral hydrate about a year ago, in small quan- tity. stephen Grosch, proprietor of the Baldwin Pharmacy at 125 Bald win street also testified that he sold chloral hydrate to Sullivan at sev- eral different occasions, as late as five or six months ago.
 Sullivan Is First.
 It is expected that Sullivan's de- fense will be the first to be presented since he is being tried by the jury. It is not known how long the de- fense side will take for presentation but it is assumed that the evidence will be completed by Wednesday.

supposed visit to Winward Lane shortly after Verna's murder.
 At Robeson street and the new Boston road, the party stopped and. at the rear of the Highland Spa, en- tered a house where Calvin said he and Hathaway tried to get some liquor. The party then continued to Tiverton, arriving at, Winward Lane 70 minutes after midnight.
 After the dramatic reenactment. which was witnessed by Galvin's wife, the return trip was started over a slightly different route, with a stop at Plymouth avenue and 12th street, where Calvin said he and Hathaway stopped to eat in lunch cart.
 The officials then accompanied Calvin to his home, where he was questioned again for about an hour. When District-Attorney 5Crossley returned to the courthouse. at 2 a. m. He said he still thought it was Fin the was committed in Massachusetts" :" He said Calvin would be subjected to
 urther questioning to-day.
 According to the district-attorney. ! piece of cloth found beside a road in the Watuppa Reservation here has been discarded as a clue because lit failed to match the dress Verna wore the night she was slain. Crossley refused to say whether the nights activities had strength ened the theory that the crime was committed in Massachusetts. Discussing reports that there might be a second arrest, the dis Itrict-attorney said this was possible but that he did not look for 1t as an immediate development.
 The case of Hathaway, son of q Massachusetts legislator. who is charged with the first degree murder of his girl friend, was scheduled to come up again in distrtict court at Newport, R. l., to-day, but it was ex- pected to be continued automatically for another week.
 Case Continued. Newport, R. l.. April 3-(UP) VI The case of Elliott R. "Pinky" Hathaway, charged with the first degree murder of Verna Russell. was automatically continued until
 next Friday when 1t was called in district court here today. | Judge Max Levy explained that the continuance was ordered In ac- cordance with a previous agreement
 between Attorney General Benjamin
 M. McLyman and Defense Counsel
 Samuel I. Jacobs of Boston.
 The defendant, who has been con-
 fined to Providence county jail at
 Cranston, did not appear in court
 this morning, thereby disappointing
 a crowd of about 50. Neither was
 his counsel nor any state official present.
 A preliminary hearing will be giv-

 NEW STATISTICS
AUDITOR COLE RELEASES COM PILIATI0N DEPICTING
 SOURCES, REVENUE

Territorial revenues in the de- cade between 1921 and 1850 ag- gregated s1O,0O2, ,518.42. an aver a!ge of slightly more than $1 ,O0O,- GOO per year, according to Statis- tics compiled by Auditor Cash Cole and made public in the Juneau Empire. The lowest year of the period was 1921 when receipts totaled S563 ,24401, and the high est was 1927, with $1,379,422.2O.
 The compilation is one of the most detailed pictures of the Territory'S sources of income ever made, and shows receipts by in- dustry, business and profession, and the Division in which it or iginated.
 Fisheries Income Greatest
 Fisheries furnish the Territory with most of its income. The to- tai from taxes on the several branches of the industry in the ten-year period was $5,850, ,337. 40, which does not include any of the income taxes paid by them nor the school poll tax receipts from the same source.
 The source of the second highest revenue producer is the school poll tax law. Receipts from that schedule between 1921 and 1880 aggregated $855, ,l389l. Income taxes from mining totaled $631,- 289.52 for third place.
 Income taxes from salmon can- neries brought in a total revenue of $245, ,58l.62 Business enterprises paid a total of $239, ,533.6S, and fur licenses; suspended in 1928, were the source of revenue amounting to $228, 8,488.O2. It is evident had the Territory continued to tax this sort of enterprise, the re- venue from it would have exceed ed those from business.
