Polikoff said Mrs. Reynolds, indicted
with Albert Walker for the staying of
her millionaire husband at his home
here July 6, asked him If a nolle PROSE-
would mean complete exoneration in
the case.

Polikoff said he talked with Mrs.
Reynolds by telephone after the letter
was made public. The attorney quoted
her as asking, What does this mean?
in referring to the letter.
Il told her." Polikof said, iii means
no more than a similar request from
any person would mean, except that 1t
comes from parties very much con-
cerned in the affair"
Polikoff explained he still was in
doubt as to what position the solicitor
would take in the matter and said the
status of the case remains the same.
I'VE are going ahead with plans and
preparations for the trial" he said.
The evidence fails to prove conclu-
sively that Smith was murdered, w:

would be quite happy if it should be
your decision to drop the cases"
Twenty-year Smith was fatally

months, and Walker, 10, his lifelong
chum, were indicted for his murder.
Both are at liberty under s25 1000 bond.
Trial Date Not Set.
No date for their trial has been set,
partially because the young widow. who
gained fame on Broadway as a blues
singer, is an expectant mother.
Solicitor Higgins emphasized he would
make his own decision on the matter,
regardless of who wants this or that
dcne That's my responsibility and
intend to follow it," he said
| The letter of the elder Reynolds was
written after attorneys of the family
advised them not to join in prosecution
of the case.
I'VE have been unable to discover
evidence which, In our opinion, would
justify us in advising the family to join
in the prosecution of the indictment
and we have so informed members of
the family" the firms statement said.

ing the final budget. but to which the
board has committed itself
Although there has been no announce
ment as to whether the budget-cut-
ting would satisfy bankers from whom
the city is seeking s35,00O, 900 loans,
Controller Charles W. Berry expressed
confidence the city will obtain money
for its November l payroll and future
needs.
Charles E. Mitchell, chairman of the
National City Bank, warned the Board
Of Estimate Monday that the market fol
city securities had gone and economy
was needed to restore confidence. A
majority bloc Of board members. con-
sisring largely of Tammany men and
allies, then cut the budget.
There was no indication as to whether
the bankers would insist on further

Tammany Democrat who favors ar

Tammany men denied this.

that the nickel fare would be impossible
Morris Hillquit, Socialist candidate
for mayor said Tammary and its allie:

than permit economies which would cut

paper which they said told this story:
In Sicily, Spoto was an overseer OF
coopers in factory near a wharf in
the port of Milazzo. One day he and
one Frank Foti fell into an argument,
which ended abruptly when Spoto
picked by a stave and brought it down
on Fotis head, killing him.
Twelve years in penal servitude was
the sentence passed on Spoto. The
document showed that the Court OF
Assizes at Messina upheld the sentence
but there the record stopped.
Detectives, filling it in with their
own deductions. believe that Spoto es-
capped and fled to this country. He
went into hicing, cooking his own meals
in the little fiat, rarely venturing out.
Some friend or relative of Foti's, they
say, trailed Spoto 1000 miles to New

1t has cut the nerve of forward-moving

The commission acknowledged that

"a blessing" but it added the opinion
that no church in any land will be
robust and virile until it supports itself
out of its own resources through its own
endeavors.
"The new Christian groups will, of
course, need an early period of nurture
by leaders from nearby churches" the
report continued, "and they must have
visits from the officials or laymen who
live within reach of their area, but
when community groups begin life as
organized churches they should expect

NEW YORK, October 19.-The
homicide squad says it was really a
barrel stave, welded in sudden anger
on a pier in distant Sicily one day in
1928, that killed Joseph Spoto in
Brooklyn today.
Spoto, 62 years old and longshore-
man, was sitting alone in his two-room
fiat last night, eating spaghetti cooked
by his own hand, and drinking wine.
Some one opened the door, fired two
shcts into his body and departed
quietly. Spoto died at hospital with

But bullets were only the immediate
cause of death, say the detectives. 1t
