ARGUMENTS ARE GIVEN IN CASE
 OF REGISTRARS
Judge DickensOn May Not Render His. Decision at
 Present Time

Judge Edwin c. Dickenson was expected to reserve decision on the custer petition brought against Waterbury registrars of voters and their deputies after arguments or counsel were completed this after noon. Attorneys Warren Upson who took almost an hour to pres- ent the plaintiffs side, during which he charged the defendants with gross carelessness under the provisions of the statutes relating to caueuses and primaries.
 Corporation Counsel Charles $. O'Connor. arguing for the defend- ants, denied any wilful or malicious violation of the statutes and claim ed if there were any violation 1t was because of the conflicting na- ture of sthe statutes governing the registrars offices, not only in Wa terbury but in every city in the state. He called particular atten- ton to the special act passed by the last session of the legislature which provides for personal en- rollment, making it much easier for registrars to function in their offices.
 MT O'Connor pointed out that the petition against the defendants was result of an investigation made by James White, working for William J. Pape, publisher of the American and Republican. Two of the 15 names in the petition. MT O'Connor said, did not know they had been removed from the re- publican primary list.

.NORWALK DEATH
 MYSTERY STILL WAITS SOLVING
Officials Do Not Think It
 Was Accident in Todd Demise

Norwalk, Conn.,, April IF -(UP) State police, sitting meager clues in the mysterious death of Arthur Todd, wealthy Belle island eccen- tric, today investigated a report Todd had disposed of $5,000 worth of securities at New. York three days before his body was washed ashore at the foot of a retaining wall near his home last Saturday.
 Meanwhile report of @ Yale Medical school toxicologist was awaited to determine whether the retired manufacturer had been drugged or poisoned.
 Authorities today advanced three theories: That Todd com mitted suicide by first taking poi son and jumping from the wall; that he was poisoned, robbed and his body thrown into the water, or that he accidentally fell from the wall and was drowned.
 Accidental Death Is Out
 The accidental death angle, po- lice said, was almost entirely eliy- mated by the fact Todd's wallet, repOTleu lO nave COHldlucU dppTOA- imately $S,000 in cash, was found empty on the beach, half way be- aween the house and where the body was discovered.
 That a woman may have been involved in the case. also was be- ing considered. However, the find ing of heel prints on the sand near where the body was found offered little evidence in this respect, it was pointedout. in that they may have been left by any one of q number of women on the island prior to the time Todd met his death. Reports that investigators were trying to locate New York woman and two men who were said to have attended a drinking party at the Todd home the night before he was last seen. could not be confirmed.

 Paris, April 17-(UP)--Leon Trotzky, exiled Soviet leader, waa informed today that he must leave France. and he began at once to try to obtain refuge in the United States orelsewhere in the western hemisphere.
 The cabinet decided that Trotzky must leave French soil after it had been informed that, refuged here as a political exile under a pledge of neutrality, he> was trying to form a fourth international to foment revolutions throughout the world. The. organization already Is active in @ dozen United States
 AS soon as the order was con- veyed to him at his closely guarded villa at Barbizon, the former co. dictator of Soviet Russia commun- icated with friends and asked them to determine whether he might find haven in North or South America.
 Trotzky's followers feared there was no chance after the revela- tions of his intense political active ity in France that any European country would accept him, partic- ularly in view of the wave of Na- zism and Fascism that has spread over the continent. His presence in France created a serious situs ation for the cabinet.

Bishop Cannon Must
 Produce His Evidence
His Lawyers Asked That He and Miss Burroughs Be Found Not Guilty-Judge Ruled That Jury
 Must Decide Issue on Guilt

Washington, April 17-(UP)- Justice Peyton Gordon ignored an impassioned plea for directed verdict of not guilty today and ordered the trial of Bishop James Cannon, Jr., and Miss Ada l.. Bur- roughs to proceed.
 After listening nearly all day to arguments by the defense and prosecution concerning the charges of conspiracy against the Metho- dist Episcopal churchman and his former secretary, Justice Gordon said that the question was one which the jury should decided rather than the court. n. s.Gs
 "I think the evidence Tn {his case and the circumstances sur rounding 1t and the tnferences that may be properly drawn from it are such that the jury should determine whether these defend ants entered into an agreement among themselves to knowingly and wilfully violate the corrupt practices act," he ruled.
 The prosecution charged that they were guilty of Common, gar den variety check-kiting."
 Government Attorney John J. Wilson said they had engaged in a series of "phoney transactions" that they had made fictitious deals" and that they had reported "papeg" transactions in their re- port to the clerk of the house con- corning their 1928 campaign against Alfred B. Smith.
 Wilson made these vigorous statements in loud voice in his efforts to argue down the de- fense's request for directed yer. dict of not guilty to charges or conspiracy to violate the corrupt practices act. Arguments occupied most of the day with the jury ex- cused.
