 Briefs On Claim

Ailing, who journeyed to England to bring Russo back to Waterbury. Detective Alling turned the money over to Attorney George H. Free. man, clerk of the superior court. who awaits the courts decision on to whom the sum shall be paid.
 Attorney Mascolo claims the money belongs to the receiver to help wind up the affairs of the Russo company in the interest of the many. depositors. Attorney Lynch claims the money should be turned over to him as counsel fees for Russo. He bases his claim on Russo's alleged statements that Russo made to Scotland Yard off, cials when he gave up the money. Mir Lynch claims Russo said the money was to be given MT Lynch as counsel fees.
 The states claim is for the ex- penses of bringing Russo to justice. Russo might be called from states prison to testify in the case, because Attorney Mascolo has filed such a motion, asking that he be brought to court to give his version of where the money came from. The money was in the form of cash and travellers checks.

Heavy Rain Did
 Not Last Long
But It Caught Many on Way to Work

The rain storm this morning, did not last long, but it came down at time when many were on their way to work, but few of whom could find shelter. so that nobody could say that there was not fair warn ing. It did not do what many were praying for, a good soaking Tor the parched soil. It ran away in rivu- letes as fast as 1t fell.
 The prediction for the rest of to- day and tomorrow Is fair and cool, and judging by the chill atmo, sphere of this afternon, folks VIII find 1t necessary to start fires. that is provided they have fuel, so that no matter what kind of weather comes, 1t flinders some and helps others.
