 What the Jury of 10 middle aged men and two housewives will do with that case is q matter of opinion. But in the opinion of gamblers. based on the unprecc- dented cheering, booing and dem Onstrating In the courtroom yes- terday, Alien will be acquitted.
 Kisses and boos greeted District Attorney Stewart Nase, yesterday as he belligerently sought to con fuse Allen during his hour and forty-five minutes on the witness stand.
 Later the booing for the prose cutor shifted to a ripple of ap- plause. which increased into q roar, for Allen.
 Nasc, sardonically questioning Allen, shouted:
 Why didn't you shoot Donald son in the leg?"
 why MT Nase, ] didn't intend to shoot him at all." He respond cd with a disarming. boyish smile Then the staid old courtroom packed with residents of Philadel- phias exclusive main line section burst into cheers. Judge Knight leaned forward astounded.
 If q repetition of this occurs,' the benign, kindly Jurlst sternly declared. "court room will be cleared"
 A summary of the case reveals in addition to the demo stration some of the most amazing con. tradictions in criminal procedure according to attorneys interested in the case.
 Usually in murder cases, tn, state seeks to force the confession of the accused into the record. Here the district attorney sought to bar it, while William r. Connor l of defense counsel, finally forced it's admission.
 Witnesses whom the district at torney believes will build up thu states case usually are subpoenaet by the commonwealth. During thiI trial tho evidence of every state witness was shattered by skilled questioning of Connor and Sites Frequently the state seeks t' prove the good character of tho slain person. In the Allen cas' the state apparently accepted tho estimate of Donaldson as presented by defense witnesses. 4 common trick of District at

LOCAL OPPOSITION TO MATERNITY BILL
Case Submitted
 to the Court Question of Law About Funds in Merchants
 Trust Co

Whether an administrator Of the estate of a man who had approx imately $10,OO0 on deposit in the Merchants Trust Co. at the time of its suspension, is entitled to re- covery of that amount fl he brought civil action against the bank before its close, is a question the superior court Is asked to decide in a peti- ton filed with the clerk of the court today. The action is brought by Nathaniel J. Grossman of Bridgeport, as administrator of the estate Of Abraham Hassent Of Bridgeport. The amount invilved Is $10.052.S9.
 The complaint sets up that Gross- man brought suit against the Mer- cha nts Trust company to recover that amount on deposit In Hassents name. In an action that was return able to court the first Tuesday of November, 1891. Since the bank did not suspend business until | Dec 23, 1881. there was ample time to have the Dleadings closed, as required. before the case was due in court. Abraham HaBsent died on March 20. 1881, and Grossman was ap- l DOlDLeU aunlI1IStIdioI ou Hp' ' 20. fb31.
 Under the name of Abraham Egizziano, Hasgent had an account with Mancini. Ruggiero x Palom- ba as evidenced by a pass book is- Hucd to him in January of 1928. The amount was $2.153.G5. From time 10 time, Hassent deposited money in the Merchants Trust Co under the name of Michael Edn. On oct 23. 1923, the Merchants Trust Co gave Hessent q passbook showing he had a deposit of $7- S3924 to his credit In the bank. on Dec 20. 1930, the Mancinl Ruggiero & Palomba bank Wat absorbed by the Peoples Trust Co., The Peoples Trust Co merged with the Merchants Trust Co on Jan 23 f33f.

 Moving across the state to the extreme eastern sector, one comes to another of Connecticuts larger and more interesting pieces of bridge construction at Jewett City. This project consists of two con crete encased steel girder bridges. One of these is q span, rivaling the Cornwall bridge in length, which croscss over the railroad tracks and the Pachaug river. The other, 375 feet in length, carries the high way over the Quinnebaug river. Both of the bridges are wide. the first measuring 36 feet and the sec ond 39 feet.
 An idea of the size of the Jewett City project for those who have not seen 1t may be gleaned from the fact that in its construction more than q million and q half pounds of steel were used.
 one of Connecticuts recent bridges is nationally considered as a masterpiece of highway engi- neerinR although tt does not in-

cludc 4 water carry. This Is the go-called Southport cutoff which carries the Boston Post road above the main line New York-New Ha- ven railroad tracks and which was built without impeding the tre- mendous rail traffic which passea the location. When highway cnSi- neering representatives of scven- teen European and South AmerI- can countries visited Connecticut 4 year ago last fall. this structure drew enthusiastic praise.
 The fifth of the more noteworthy bridge building jobs of the past two years in Connecticut is tho the highway grade separation a. Milldale in the town of Southin2- ton by which the College Highway Is carried above the Southingtoh Mountain road. This bridge has a span of about 64 feet with built up approaches to care for the change in grade upon each side. The same project included a small. thirty foot clear span bridge over Ten Mile river on the Southington Mountain road. replacing the for mer bridge there. The previous accident hazard at the intersection. which also includes street car line, has thus been eliminated.

Market Continues
 Unsettled Trend
Railroad Conference Adjustment Brings Relief After Many Trying Weeks-Disposition to Buy Growing

New York, Feb GA long period of misgiving was brought to 6 hap py close with the announcement. at the beginning of the present week, that the railway employees Lad de- cided, after prolonged conferences with the managers of the various roads, to grant q reduction of pay amounting to 10 per cent for the period of the year. This outcome has been most favorably received, not merely for its significance in railway finance, but also because it obviously represents q disposition on the part of labor to share in the burdens of the present de:Jression. and a broad minded willingness to appreciate at its full worth the problem the railways themselves are facing. It is correctly regarded as evincinS a greater degree of sol jdarity and disposition on the part of labor to cooperate with capital than many had supposed to exist in an such degree. Herewith 1t in- dicates the possibility Of attacking the underlying problems of the panic, with assurance of joint dis position on the part of capital and labor to work together. This sttua- ton Is possibly the most reassuring feature of the whole case.
 In spite of the succession of re- assuring items of news (speaking from the domestic standpoint ht 1east) that has characterized the past few days. market conditions have continued to be more or less unsettled. Nevertheless. there are signs of a greater disposition to buy, by investors who have been encouraged by the recent home de- velopments mentioned which un- dOubtedly have been of a cOnstruc- tive nature and which are calculat cd as time goes on to improve bus mess conditions. AS this becomes better understood 1t is fair to aB-

HELD AT FAIRBANKS .... .... -.. ..- ON MURDER CHARGE
Fairbanks News-Miner.) )


 At the conclusion of preliminary hearing Monday at Panama, Robert Young was bound over by U. s. Con- missioner Jessie M. Howard to the grand jury on charge of lrst degree murder in the death of Cornelius Cronin.
 He was brought to. Fairbanks and is now held in the Federal jail.
 The examination was conducted on the part of the government by E. 5. Colins,, assistant U. s. attorney. No new evidence was produced, it was said.
 Dr. J. A. Sutherland performed an autopsy on Cronin's body. It was discovered that one bullet went in from the right side of the back and struck the backbone, shattering it. The other went in on the left side of the back and came out under the right arm.
 Cronin was last seen August g, and when he failed to appear after several days it was assumed that he had fallen from his fish wheel, about 12 miles below Kallands, and was drowned
 But when the water receded his body was discovered not far below the wheel. His body was being prepared for buria lwhen the two bullet holes in the beck were discovered.
 Commissioner Howard summoned a coroner's jury and an inquest was held on the spot, the jury namng Young as the probable slayer.
 Young made no statement at the hearing which would tend to impli- cate him in the crime.

REDINGTON TALKS ALASKA
 GAME PROTECTION

OLYMPIA, Wash.> A general game plan to conserve and protect Alaska anmas will be placed in effect Ilti- mately, Paul Redington, chief of the United States Biological Survey, said here on his arrival from Alaska, where he spent three weeks.
 Redington said the Federal Govern ment, cooperation with the Alaska Game Commission and the Forestry Service, has instituted survey to determine the status of brown bear,, particularly on Admiralty Island near Juneau.
 From the survey, which will be completed in six weeks, authorities expect to learn the population and rate of increase or decrease of the brownies.
 Redington said a move to give bears more protection is the begin ming of what eventually will be sat- isfactory pan for control of all Alaska animals.
 Some Alaskans think the brownies should be exterminated, but Reding- ton believes they are not dangerous enough for that.
 He added that future rules will be made after full consideration of the attitude of Alaska people"
