breach of promise suit three days after they were married in Yuma, Ariz, September IS, 1881. The suit later resulted in $5,000 jury award to Miss Myrtle St Pierre, Pasadena nurse. When the verdict was returned Hutton rushed to her land cruelty, rudely and deliberate ly' told her the Judgment was only in the amount of $5,000," which caused her to faint and fall and suffer a fractured skull, the complaint charged.
 His conduct, it was alleged, caused her to become highly nerv- ous, extremely i'll, worried and con- cerned." He consistently pestered her for money, she said.
 Mrs Hutton said there could be no division of community property because there is none. A pre- nuptial agreement was cited, stat ing that their property remained separate and distinct after their marriage.
 In his suit, Hutton also alleged cruelty. He said he suffered great mental stress when his wife cab1ed from Europe that she had become a mother only to confide later the message was hoax.

FIRST RULING ON INSURANCE POLICY

 1, 1883, the date upon which the statute became law.
 In the case in question, Bengston
 had policy in which his mother
 was named beneficiary. It had a | cash surrender value of several hundred dollars. Attorney Alfred l.. Finkelstein who was appointed 1 trustee of the estate, filed a claim | for the cash surrender value of the policy and the bankrupt, Bengston, waived his rights to it.
 Attorney James E. Russell, coun- | sel for Bengston, then filed an ap- plication asking that Bengston be allowed to reopen his schedule to | insert under the place reserved for 1 exemptions, the insurance policy in question. Attorney Russell cited the l statute passed on July 1st, 1883. Referee Torrance upholds the
 claim of Attorney Russell, but finds | that the statute is unconstitutional, | insofar as it prevents creditors from recovering against the policy,
 if their claims were established l prior to July 1, 1893.
 So, he allows. Attorney Finkle- l stein to keep the cash surrender
 value of the policy to meet the ! claims of creditors. If the creditors
 claims do hot exceed the amount of
 cash surrender value, the balance
 is to be turned back to Bengston, | Referee Torrance states.

McLEVY KEEPS
 AFTER CROSS

Bridgeport Conn. Dec si-(UP) "A new recruit to-day joined the ranks of those demanding Gov ernor Wilbur l.. Cross call a spe- cial session of the general assem- bly.
 Jasper McLevy, Bridgeport's first Socialist mayor, was to confer with the governor at Hartford late to-day, urging a special session as a means of relieving the city's stressed financial condition. Mayor McLevy declared that un- less an emergency session is called the city will be unable to dispose of $5OO,0O0 short term notes un- til after April 1, while in the meantime payless pay days threat en as the city faces $65O.00O deficit for the fiscal year ending March 31.

driver was implicated in the crime but that they were anxious to To- cate him in the possibility that he could aid the investigation.
 Ethel was alone in the store, To- cated on Harrison avenue, last night, her employer having gone home because business was dull.
 Four bakers were at work on the floor below, but they told police that the drone of their bread ma chimes prevented them from hear ing any screams which might have come from above.
 A heavy rain was falling and the street outside was deserted when Bessie Stern, 15, and Alexander Polihronis, 16, arrived at the shop. They saw no one there and they called to Ethel. Getting no re- sponse, Bessie moved farther into the store, then recoiled with a shriek.
 Lying on the floor at the end of the cash counter was the body of her friend, Ethel. The victim lay on her back, pinned to the floor by Q long knife through her throat. Nearby was second knife-the one which had been used to slash the cross on her forehead.
 Police were puzzled by the cross. They said it resembled the cross slashed on a gangland victim to designate a "double-crosser." At the same time, they expressed doubt that it was an underworld killing.
 Ethel's body was clad in an apron-like dress. One of her shoes was found several feet away, and police said there were other signs of struggle. Preliminary examina- tion indicated that the girl was not criminally attacked. Medical Ex- aminer Timothy Leary ascribed death to severance of the juglar vein and of the medulla oblongata, the, bulbous continuation of the spinal cord in the skull.
 A theory that a rejected suitor slew Ethel was favored by Police Superintendent Martin H. King. MT and Mrs Louis Zuckerman said, however. they knew of no such person in their daughters life. The

SPECIAL CALL &
 GOV. DOUBTFUL
tcontlnued From PaEe ll

Further strength to this belief
 was given last night when Gov ernor Cross spoke in Milford be- fore members of the Milford Wheel club. He said that while the state Constitution gives him the right to call Q special session the governor must feel that a real emergency affecting the welfare of the people of the state exists before taking such a move. He pointed
 out, also, that over a very large number years the Legislature has
 been called into special session on
 only six or seven occasions. The last, time was when a validating act was necessary following a su- preme court decision voiding hum
 dreds of statutes and special acts previously passed by the members of the Legislature.
 The governor failed in his ad- dress to disclose just what his plans are on the various requests made to him during the past three months for a special session so as to amend the liquor act. Dis cussing his stand on the question,
 he pointed out that many persons thought him wrong but that time has proved otherwise. "The liquor problem, that of distribution now that repeal has come," said the governor, lis a serious one. It will take years to work it out to the satisfaction of everyone Cross Seems Opposed Milford, Conn, Dec 2I-(UP)-- Various state groups which have urged Governor Wilbur L. Cross to call a special Legislature session to deal with liquor, municipal and relief problems, to-day found lit tie solace in his remarks before the Milford Wheel club last night. '"The Constitution permits the governor of the state to call spe- cial sessions of the General As- sembly only in the event of a spe- cial emergency and it is up to the governor to decide if such an emergency exists" the governor said.
 "At the end of every session of the General Assembly there are all ways five or ten requests for spe- cial session to pass on legislation which came up during the regular session but which failed to pass. Perhaps this year there are more than usual"
 Since 1918, he said, special ses- sions have been called only for military service, suffrage and to validate hundreds of bills declared unconstitutional after adjournment of the 1929 session.
 "The liquor problem, that of dis tribution now that the repeal has come, is a serious one," he said. "It will take years to work it out to the satisfaction of everyone"
 The governor warned against unnecessary projects at this time.
 q have been asked my attitude toward borrowing and making large expenditures for improve ments and say to you if a munich pality has something needed such as schools, or a water system or a sewerage system, now is a good time to go ahead, but as a Yankee I always caution against going into projects not bsolutely necessary"

 Message Prepared To-day

Continued loyalty is the solution of the national problem of recov- cry. in the opinion of Alfred F. Meyerhans. public accountant and auditor, who in the interests of the NRA has addressed numerous local societies.
 Mir Meyerhans was invited today to prepare the daily Christmas cheer message, which he did as follows:
 President Roosevelt, with all his generous, intelligent and practical idealisna, in putting the MIRA into effect. stressed the three things that were essential to its success
 The cooperation of employers in reducing working hours and in- creasing pay rates, thus making extra jobs and increasing the pub lie purchasing power;
 The cooperation of employers in giving an honest full days work, as their success and the continu- ance of their jobs depends on the success of the employers;
 The cooperation of the con- sumner. and that means all of us,

 Someone starts making;
 Someone starts working; When someone starts working,

 The increase in the minimum wage and the added earnings of those not in that class, plus the increase of employment, has done much to relieve the previous situ- ation.

 The amount involved in the sev- eral hundred transfers will run high into the thousands as the ad- ministration officials make their final effort to balance up the books. Some departments, due to Mayor Hayes economy rulings, have not spent all their appropriations. In other departments, due to the hard times" expenditures have been over the appropriations and no efforts on the part of the city fathers could have brought about an avoidance of this situation. Therefore, this afternoon surpluses in some departments will be trans- ferred to other departments and in some cases transfers within de- partments will be made from one item to another.
 The aldermen will have to ap- prove many of the inter-depart- mental transfers, hence the neces- sity of another aldermanic meet ing next week before the close of 1883.
