A surprise development marked the hearing on the motion to set aside the verdict of the jury that found Frank DeMario guilty of will fully burning his home on Walnut street extension in superior court today when defense counsel moved for a new trial on the grounds. of uncovering new evidence. The evil dencc was a signed statement by Edward Ardito, inmate of the county Jail at New Haven that he overheard, Charles Vernale. states chief witness in the DeMario trial. state that he never saw DeMario before he entered the city court room here and that he was never near the DeMario home on the night of the fire.
 vernale testified on the witness stand during the trial that De- Mario paid his father, Anthony verna1e $500 to burn down De- Mario'S ihome and that the two vernaIes with one Joseph Melite set fire to the house on April 12, 1881.
 Attorney Edward Mascolo pro- duced the statement in support of his claim for new trial when he was arguing to have the verdict set aside that found DeMario guilty. Judge Newell Jennings continued the matter until Thurs day morning and asked counsel in the case to file written claims on the procedure.
 The jury found DeMario guilty last Friday after hearing evidence since last Tuesday. Defense cpun- sel immediately moved to have the verdict set aside and Judge Jen- nings deferred sentencing DeMario until the arguments in support of the motion were heard to-day.
 Attorney Massclo stated that be- fore he presented his arguments to have the verdict upset. he desired to file a motion for a new trial. He told the court he received phone call at 12 o'clock last night that he would be given some important information on the DeMario case if he went to theAcounty jail
 He smid he drove to the jail and talked with Edward Ardito describ- ed by Attorney Mascolo as serving n four months sentence imposed in the Waterbury superior court. At torney Mascolo said Ardito told him the former OVeT0edTu CHdTleS Vepnale say to two other inmates at the jail that he never saw De- Mario until he walked into the city court room where De eMario was or iginally arraigned. Ardito said fur ther that Vernale stated he had never been to the DeMario home.
 .1udge Jennings said the matter of procedure was puZzling and desired counsel to file claims on the case.
 tAttorney Mascolo in arguing for the setting aside of the verdict claimed the decision of the jury was against the law and evi- dence. He said the states prfn- ciple claim was based on the tes- timony of Charles Vernale and At torney Mascolo pointed out where Vernale said in the trial that af- ter setting fire to the DeMario home, went to his own house. went to bed. arose at G:30 o'clock and went to his employment in the Buckle shop. Attorney Mascolo pointed out that Nernale could

control committee which voted to appropriate only $20,000.
 The committee amendment was reversed after short debate in which Chairman Norbeck of the banking and currency body de- clared the additional funds would enable his investigators to explore transactions which as yet they know only in part.
 We feel we have only scratched the surface and reached the cor ners," Norbeck said. There were 25,OOO, 900 people caught in the stock market debacle, with a loss to the public of S15,OO0. O00, 900. Against that, Teapot Dome looks like small affair.
 The trouble is, so many officials have betrayed their own stock holders that it Is difficult to cover all the ground needed"
 Take the Fox Film company case,r Norbeck continued. "The evidence shows Fox speculated on his own account with the firms stock. When the market shrunk he had his losses deducted, vel those losses were charged to him on his income tax return. A hali million in taxes probably could be recovered from Fox. l understand he is still worth '$15,000,00O to $2O.. 000, ,000."

 A hawk flew, screaming, up from the hot India jungle, swooped like a bird after prey towards a roar ing airplane-and nearly ended one of the great flights of history.
 The Commonwealth of Australia had offered 10000 pounds for the first plane to fly from London to Australia in less than 72O hours. Capt Ross Smith of the Royal Fly ing Corps, his brother, Keith Smith and a crew of two men decided to try for the prize.
 The Hawk Attacks
 They took off from London in a Vickers- -Vimy, tw0-engine bomb- ing plane. As it was 1919, the long hop was not then possible. They flew by successive steps to Rome, Cairo, Delhi, Allahabad and finally reached Calcutta. India.
 As they scared away from the city into the burning Indian heat, that hook -beaked hawk, evidently convinced the plane was huge noisy bird, flew above it, then dived straight at the whirring propel- Ter. A plane cannot lodge hawk. Capt Ross smith could do noth- ing.
 Beak ready to tear its prey. the hawk drove into the propeller. There was thud, scream, fur ry of feathers-and the bird drop- ped dead torn to pieces. But the propeller had not escaped. It was cracked by the impact, and wob- bling. That was a feat to land the crippled plane without a crack up, but t was done.
 BOgged i'm Java.
 Then remember how the plane sailed on to Rangoon and Singa- pore and went down, seemingly hopelessly begged in the mud of feverishly hot Java. Bamboo mats were laid down for runway, and they took off, miraculously. They flew on to Australia, over the des- ert, ,and eventually reached Port Darwin and success.
 The whole Australian nation applauded them. For the Smith brothers were natives. Checking up, they discovered they had just made the flight in the required time. so they were given the re- ward.
 The wide Empire of Britain. flung around the world, heard about that feat and when they re- turned to London the Smith broth CTS were knighted.
 Then there was a day in 1922 when Capt Sir Ross smith, on the eve of an attempt to fly around the world, took up his big amphibi- an plane for a final practice flight The English papers, aware of his flying skill as demonstrated on the Australian flight, were confident his world flight would be a suc- cess.
 Death Comes
 A crowd was gathered to watch the trial. And the big plane, en- zines roaring rhythmically, flew up to an altitude of 100 feet Then something happened. No- body ever found out what. The plane fell like q stone It was wrecked. Capt Smith was dead and Lieut. Bennett. with him then as he had been on the Australian flight. died soon after.
 Britain mourned. And Sir Keith Smith, grieving for his brother practically gave up flying. He lives in London now, a respected citi. !, zen. with his memories and espe. cially the poignant memory of his gallant brother, Capt Sir Ross l Smith, brave flyer.

 Attorney Mascolo also called at- tention to the testimony of Captain Thomas Cavanaugh, another states witness who was acting deputy on the night of the fire. Attorney Mascolo said the captain in re. sponse to query by Assistant States Attorney William E. Fitz- gerald. answered that it was his opinion the fire WAS set. Attorney Mascolo charged the fire captain did not give any reason for com ing to that conclusion and that the state had not laid any founda- ton around the question. Attorney Mascolo pointed out several other instances wherein he claimed the jury could reasonably have been prejudiced in arriving at it's de- cision

GREEN TAKES BIG
ROLE FOR WINTER

Green is held to be the color emble-
NAUTICAL of both envy and hope. And
so, that is perhaps why we see it so
much just now, the envy being that Of
the woman who admires our frock,
coat or hat, and what the hope is you
can fill in for yourselves.
But, whatever obvious or obscure
reason may prevail, there is no doubt
about it that green is one of the colors
of this winter season.
Since we have all become such
adopts at using color, there is but
scant fear of any one of us using the
wrong shade of green, something that
can easily happen unless one is very
wary, and fully conscious of any de-
fects of the complexion or coloring. A
good bet is always dark green trimmed
with black or brown; it is the bright
green's that hold so much peril.
By all means go in for diet Of
green's, but exercise caution. Brown,
too, is favorite color, and both green
and brown are so much used together
this season on both sides of the At
lantic.
