NCohtlnueQ rom Page 1.) Boston, an unruly crowd of thou sands outside battled riot squads of police led personally by Super intendent Martin H. King.
 The crowd. quiet at first was precipitated into mass action against the bluecoats by the dram atically sudden act of a young man who mounted a balustrade of the state house and assaulted a mount ed officer.
 Police sticks were freely used and assorted missiles sailed through the air as the crowd, led by communist members of the John Reed Club and carrying ban ners reading down with Hitler and down with the Nazi butcher, retreated toward Boston Common.
 Trapped in the yelling. mauling, crowd, that swarmed through the streets around the state house, mo- torists abandoned their cars, ped estrians were knocked down, and women tainted. On the common, the crowd finally was dispersed.
 Meanwhile. back in Ford hall. the patient professor was conclud- ing his speech.
 ''We do not believe in conflsca- tion. We do not harm anybody .. {. think sometimes am more amiable than you are"
 Arriving under police escort at his hotel shortly afterward. Profess sor Schoenemann, smiling wanly. said:

State Restrictions
 Bewilder Druggists
Refuse to Take Out liquor Package Store Permits
 Supply Will Be Denied Them for This Reason

wholesale dealers in this state SC where is their liquor supply 10 come from, they ask. They VIII have to buy from some packag" store and sell 1t as best they can or buy from out of state agencies. This would be an unfair penalty on Connecticut wholesalers.
 Druggists, though, say the state liquor act included no such restrlc- tions and that free and unencum- bered sale of liquor by druggists was the aim of the act. 'lt is very evident the legislators never 1n- tended that anyone suffering from pneumonia with only money enough to buy four ounces of whis- key should be imposed on to buy a short quart from the drug store, said one druggist to-day.
 Waterbury's druggists unan- imousIy have agreed to ignore package store licenses. They point to further confusion when they quote the state liquor board as say- ing it has no control over medicin- al liquor or whiskey used in com- pounding.
 This raises the fear that some druggists to surmount the barrier may degrade pharmacry by putting 10 per cent of pepsin or the like in a quart of liquor and offering it as a tonic. Under the law this would be legal but the state would be defeated in it's fair share of taxes and it is the druggists inten- tion they say to elevate pharmacy and to give the state it's legitimate tax.
 It was predicted here to-day that if the attorney generals ruling is against the druggists view, that 30 druggists here will set up alum my package store" from which they can, in legal ruse, buy liquor and sell it on federal and not state basis.
 Incidentally distilleries and wholesale drug houses to-day are demanding $50 to sS5 a case on leading brands of whiskey but that after repeal the governments cut" liquor supply is to retail for $1.50. 3 pint or $2.75 a quart. That will be on the wholesale price of $20 to $22 d case to the druggist or pack age store owner.

flew through the air. Every win dow in the jail was broken. As a group of youths coiled a long rope, scores of older men bat tered down the heavy steel doors of the prison.
 The mob surged in and the hunt for Thurmond and Holmes started. They were dragged out of their cells. Officers used their fists but were showed aside. When the body of Hart was talk en from the bay today, the last link needed to prove the confess sions of Thurmond and Holmes had been obtained. Identification of the body was positive. The skull bore a deep wound, substantiating the story of Thurmond that Holmes struck Hart with Q brick. Gov Rolf Speaks Sacramento; Cal, Nov 27-(UP) -"Ca1ifornia will not put up with kadnaping andl the lynching of Thomas Thurmond and John Holmes at San Jose last night proves it to the world" Governor James Rolph, Jr, told the United Press today.
 He said he "was not distressed" over the lynching although it was regrettable.
 ''It> was time drastic measures were taken" the governor said. This should be a great lesson for the entire world," he declared. Rolph said Sheriff William Emig of San Jose "did the right thing by not firing into the mob" that stormed the San. Jose Jail and
 seized the killers of Brooke Hart, 22.
 Emig, at 10:s0 o'clock last night,
 importuned him to send state mill
 itia to San Jose, he said. | No Lynch Law San Francisco, Nov 27-(UP)- California has no separate and dis

 end of lynching is murder and If
 lynching is successful, murder has l been committed.
 Any crimes committed such as

GOOD INDICATION OF BETTER TIMES
Thirty-six Couples Have Filed Marriage Inten-
 tiOns Here Past Week

Potatoes must he cheaper and the depression must be over, if one has any confidence in statistics.
 No less than 36 couples have filed marriage intentions here within the past week, making the total recorded in the semi-month- ly report of the Waterbury Credit Rating bureau something of a prec- edent. The number is by far the largest published in many months indicating that November and De- cember must be popular monhts for marriage.
 Incidentally during the same pe- riod of time 23 marriages were re- corded here, which is also an un- usually large number.
 In the race between the Grim Reaper and the Stork deaths out numbered births in the current re- port. There were 46 deaths as compared to 27 births.
 Only eight new families moved into Waterbury during the past two weeks, indicating that the rush so apparent in previous reports is about over. One of the eight new arrivals came from Italy, two from Hartford, one from Newtown, Springfield, Elizabeth, N. J., and Bayside, l.. I.

(Cont1nued rom Page 1.) had made such a statement to htm.
 Pecora also has refused to ac- cept for the record a statement Wiggin in contradiction of another part of Foxs testimony.
 Testimony by Murray w. Dodge, former Chase Securities Corpora ton vice-president, revealed that the valuable Fox movie structure collapsed when the public refused to bail it out of debt in 1881. Af- ter Harley Clarke and his bank ing associates forced Fox out of his own companies they sought to float approximately $100,0O0,000 in securities. The public refused to absorb the vast financing pro- ject.
 Dodge put into the record de- tails of the financing plan for meeting obligations of the Fox Film Corporation maturing April 15, 1881. The plan included:
 CD Sale by Fox Film Corpora tion of $30,000,000 fve-year, six per cent gold debentures to a group headed by Chase Securities for $27,005,000.
 (2) Sale by Fox Film Corpora tion of 660,400 shares of Loew's, Inc., common stock to the Film &c., curities Corporation for 462.O0O shares of Glass "A" Securities Cor poration stock, plus cash of $28,- 800, ,O0O.
 (3) Sale by Wesco Corporation of $15,000,000 two-year, six per cent gold notes to the Chase Secur- ities Corporation for $14,432,500. (4) Sale by the Fox Securities Corporation of 51,333 shares of it's common stock and $20,O00,00O principal amount of it's two-year, six per cent gold notes to a group headed by Chase Securities for $19,26S,333.33.
 (5) Sale by the Film Securities Corporation, of 100000 shares of it's $7 dividend preferred stock to General Theaters Equipment, Inc. for $9,70O,000.
 The Chase National Bank under Albert H. Wiggin came to the as- ] sistance of the securities syndicates which had undertaken to distribute | the Securitiese to the public. Mill lions of dollars of the banks fund were poured into the syndi- cate operations. The bank itself lost $55,000,000 and the Chase Se- curities Corporation lost $14,000,- 900 in the Hollywood venture.
 The $30,000,O00 debenture is- sue was frozen" almost from the moment it was offered and the Chase bank was compelled to pur- chase $23,593,000 to prevent ear- Her collapse. These securities rep resent almost a total loss of the bank.

With prohibition gasping It's last breath, Waterbury's druggists are bewiidered because of the restric- tions the state liquor control com- mission imposes on them. Drug gists throughout the state are in the same quandry and relief is asked in the way of an appeal to the attorney general for a ruling in their favor.
 With repeal to be proclaimed on or after December 5, druggists anxious to get ready their bonds, certificates of fitness, supplies, etc, are between the frying pan and the fire. Every minute seems year to them.
 The liquor board insists drug stores take out package store li- censes. This would mean they must secure a permit, that without doc- tors subscriptions they can't sell daily after 6 p. m., that they can't sell Sundays or election days and that they can't sell liquor in lots less than one-fifth of a gallon which is 26 ounces or the so-cal1ed short quart which is to sell for SAYS. r If they do not procure package store licenses then under the state law they can't buy from licensed

Children of Mary Meet To- morrow - Eight-six
 Confined Saturday
WATERVIILE

The new pavement on Thomas ton avenue moved another step to- ward accomplishment of Saturday when State Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald called for bids on the construction of a reinforced concrete pavement from the West Main street intersection, northly to a point just south of the Homer street intersection. A distance of S,867 feet. The second section from the latter point to the end of the present concrete highway opposite the plant of the Chase Metal Works will be advertised for bids at a later date.
 The first section will be of a wider and more substantial con- struction than the old road bed and will have some variations of grade and layout, particularly at the bridge over the Naugatuck division line of the New Haven road where there will be some strengthening of the dangerous angles which now exist.
 The state highway department reassumed responsibility for Thom- aston avenue from West Main street to the city line last year. It had formerly been under its con- trol but about sixteen years ago the city had taken the road over. The present project will be paid for by federal funds under the provi- sion of the public works adminis- tration.

Sheriff William Emig called in 50 deputies. Streets to the jail were barricaded.
 Sheriff Was Desperate By 9:S0 p. m. 4,0OO shouting men and boys were milling around the jail. Emig was desperate. He called Oakland and San Francisco police for endorsements. A boy not more than 16. climbed to the top of a shed and shouted in a shrill voice.
 He was the leader the mob had been waiting for. The surge of men and boys and a few women carried to the bar riers.
 They were swept aside. Tear bombs were hurled. The mob re- treated, eyes smarting. Bricks stones and other missiles rained on the jail. Windows were broken and the lights extinguished. Officers refused to shoot but swung clubs and used their fists Emig>and Deputy Howard Buffing- ton were felled and tramp1ed. The others, overwhelmed by superior numbers, retreated. Some of the mob tore the cell keys from the jaliers' hands and rushed down the corridors seeking Thurmond and Holmes. Holmes turn came. It took but a moment.
 The mob loitered, surveying the job. It wanted to be sure their vic- tims were dead and to make sure that Emig and his men wouldn't attempt rescue.
 'Let's Burn 'Em' Was Cry A new cry went up. Thurmond's body was cut down It was drenched with gasoline. A
 match was touched to it. But only his torn clothing burned. The mol leaped on newspaper photograph. CTS. who tried to photograph the gruesome spectacle, and broke their cameras.
 Holmes body was cut down. The mob was preparing to fire it when Sheriff Emig and platoon of deputies arrived. He demanded the bodies and exhorted' the crowd to disperse. There were nasty con. ferences and the bodies were re. linquished. Emig took them to the Williams morgue where the body of Young Hart had been taken. Witnesses said Emig was hurt while helping a deputy protect Tony Serpa. 23, a prisoner, from the mob. The mob mistook serps for one of the Hart killers and wa. attempting to break into his cell. | Trail of Blood In Jail Holmes was in a cell on the sec l ond floor.
