WHITAKER MOVES
TOWARD APPEAL
Indicates He Will. Fight Con-
viction Despite Cut in
Sentence.

Indications that Norman T. Whitaker
intends to contest his conviction in the
Lindbergh baby ransom hoax, despite a
reduction of six months in the two
year sentence imposed upon him, were
seen yesterday when he appeared in
District Supreme Court to ask for an
extension of time in which to note an
appeal.
Whitaker was convicted with CASTOR
B. Means of conspiring to steal $35, 900
from Mrs. Evalyn Wash Mclean by
fraudulently leading her to believe they
were in position to ransom the stolen
baby.
Sentenced to Two Years.
After the trial Whitaker was SEN
fenced to serve two years in the peni-
tentiary by Justice Daniel w. O'Dono-
ghue At that time he asked to be
given some credit for the six months
he had spent in Jail awaiting trial.
Justice ODonoghue then declined to
grant any reduction in the sentence on
this account. Several days later, how
ever, he had Whitaker brought back
into court and reduced the sentence to
18 months, explaining that he had de-
cided Whitaker was entitled to some
consideration for the time he had spent
in jail.
As q result Of this action, Whitaker's
move toward an appeal came as some
thing of a surprise. 1t was pointed out
that 1t will take nearly a year for an
appeal to be heard and passed upon,
and, unless released on bond, Whitker
will have to serve this time in jail
without receiving credit for it.
Ground for Appeal.
The principal ground for appeal is
his contention that the jury should
have been instructed that it could con-
vict one defendant and acquit the other
II 1t saw fit to do so.
An indictment charging Means and
Whitaker with conspiring to steal $780,
900 from Mrs. Mclean was dismissed
yesterday. This indictment covered sub
stantially the same offense as the one
upon which they were convicted.

CARR AND MOORE
 IN RETURN BOUT AT ARENA TO-NTTE
State Middleweight Title to Be Claimed By Win- ner - Griffin Me e ts Trader Horn

New Haven, May 25.-Steve Carr of Meriden and Eddie Moore of Bridgeport enter the New Ha- ven Arena ringt tonight to decide the middleweight championship of Connecticut, but winning the crown is only secondary to what state and local fight fans look forwarde to when this pair of highly efficeint leather pushers resume their long standing feud. In the second ten round feature attraction Corn Grif- fin, the Fort Benning soldier. will make his northern debut against Charlie Trader" Horn whose name justly describes him as pugilist. The complete card consists of 34 rounds of boxing.
 No little interest centers about the return engagement between Carr and Moore. Some six weeks ago these two youthful opponents of tile fistcuff fraternity fought one of the most sensational battles witnessed in the local ring this sea- son. After eight hectic rounds that saw Carr on the canvas in the early stages of the encounter, then in tourn. Moore, the youthful Pole punch dispenser was awarded the decision by Referee Young Me- Auliffe. The verdict was greatly disputed in some quarters, claim ing that Moore deserved nothing less than @ draw.
 Title Ahead
 The local matchmaker has peti- toned State Athletic Commissioner Thomas E.. Donohue to recognize the winner of this contest as the state middleweight champion. Both boys have succeeded in overcoming the severest middleweight opposi- ton not only in the staet, but also several highly touted New Workers.
 There is every indication that the second feature bout on the bill will furnish the ultimate in arction as will the undercard. Horn endeared himself here as the result of his thrilling fight with Al Gainer while Griffin has distinguished himself as the foremost light heavy in the south. Tony Travers, local welter, meets Hooky Jackson of Westerly in a special sixer. Justin Hoffman of New York encounters Jack Re- nault, pleasing product in one of the two fours. The opener will show Sid Wheeler, Seminole Indian 175-pounder, and Jim Shannon of Springfield.
