Fatal Accident Due
 To Drivers Actions
Coroner Holds Otto EngeIhardt Responsible For
 Companions Death

caitis of southbury, Mrs. Patricis Saldukaitis and Charles Salokas oi Southford.
 The Finding; .
 The coroner's finding on the &C., cident follows:
 "on the afternoon of July End between 3:3O and 4:0O o'clock D. S. T., the deceased in company hardt and one Ledaikas. all oi Southbury, left the farm of the de- ceased to go to Waterbury. Engel- hardt was the owner and operator of the 1929 Chevrolet sedan in which the four men left Southbury He was a properly licensed opera tor of motor vehicles.
 Earlier in the afternoon Engel- hardt had been to Waterbury and OakVille and had stopped in two places where he had had some beer. Engelhardt drove to the Brooklyn section of Waterbury and Ledaikas left the party. The others stopped at two taverns and con- stunned considerable beer.
 At about 5:30 o'clock when re- turning home on the Southbury- Middlebury road the rear of the car struck tree on the side of the road, turned completely around and came to rest on its side a few feet from the shoulder of the road. En- gelhardt was familiar with this highway and had travelled it fre- quently. The speed of the car was too great to take the curve and when the rear end swerved off the roadway and struck the tree Sal dukaitis, who was sitting in the rear seat, sustained a severe frac- ture of the skull and died almost immediately. Macaitis, who was sitting in front, was thrown out ot the car, apparently not seriously in jured.
 Racing To Milk Cows
 The highway just before the point where this accident happened descends in a long grade and then curves to the left. Engelhardt, whc was under the influence of intox- icating liquor, was travelling at 2 speed estimated to be between b( and 55 miles an hour. There was nc other traffic on the roadway at the time.
 Saldukaitis, who had twelve COW: generally milked them at about 5:sO and Engelhardt claims to have been driving fast to get the two men home in time to do the milk, ing. However there was no urgent necessity for this and Macaitis hat told him to reduce the speed of tht car.
 I find that the death of the saic George Saldukaitis was due to fracture of the skull sustained 1T the manner above set forth ant that said death was due to th' criminal negligence of the operator of the car in which he was riding the said Otto Engelhardt.

PONZI LOST HIS
 APPEAL CASE
(Continued from Page 1,)

(Continued from Page 1.) Is successful. he will be deperted to his native Italy.
 Wife Was With Him
 With his attractive wife, Rose, at his side, Ponxi acted as his own counsel during today's hearing at the state house. . He admitted. that he had erred, but said he realized that his outlook on life had been wrong and begged for another chance.
 There was a time had $10,- 100000 in my possession" said the dapper, diminutive ex-convict. II paid three-fourths of the investors in full. The remainder received about 37 per cent. I did not take one penny. l gave up my house. I gave up my liberty. Later on lost my mother.
 T think the punishment was a little too much. I don't want a pardon on the grounds of inno- cence. I want it to save me from deportation. My attitude has changed. It was bad. I realize I had wrong outlook on life. I feel, if given the opportunity. I can make. an honest living. I can't make restitution. want to earn the forgiveness of the people hurt. want to live decent life."
 Deplorcd His Acts Ponzi told the governor that about 14 years ago, using very poor judgment. I got into activi- ties I deplore."
 He told how he was prosecuted in the federal courts and received a five-year sentence which he served in full without parole. He then was indicted by Suffolk county grand jury, that body re- turning 22 larceny indictments. He was tried on 12 of these indict- ments. he said, and acquitted. Tn 1924, he was tried on five of the remaining 10 indictments and the jury disagreed. At that time, he said, he was approached with the suggestion that If he would leave the country the indictments would be mol pressed but refused and the result was that deportation pro- ceedings were started immediately. He was tried again on the in- dictments, and was convicted and served seven years in state prison. HQped for Leniency As result of these two sem tences, Ponzi said. he hoped the immigration authorities would be lenient. but I couldn't do anything with them. ....... After all I've been punished enough. went looking for trouble and found it," said. He said that he had filed pe- tition bearing 125 signatures of friends requesting his pardon and had other petitions bearing 500 to GOO names. For witnesses. he said. he would introduce a representative of the Warden of State Prison. An hour after the hearing, Ponzi surrendered to immigration author ities at the East Boston station. It was under stood the he would apply immediately to federal court for a writ of habeas corpus, which would insure his freedom pending his fight against deportation in the federal courts.

 "An increase in income of al- most one thousand per cent by war certainly should not be considered moderate and furnishes strong temptation to the recipient to en- courage more international strife" Pope said.
 "There have been many rumors and unofficial declarations that this Is being done, and that is just the thing we are Investigating"
 The committee of which Pope Is a member will begin public hear ings in September. A corps of 20 investigators under stephen Raus- henbush is collecting the informa- ton which will bc the basis of the investigation. The committee is to report to the senate whether or rot in it's opinion a government monopoly of the munitions indus- try Is justified.
 Pope's statement struck at the assertion by Irenee Du Pont, vice chairman of the board of directors of the F, I. Du Pont De Nemours company, that the attack on. munitions makers" was inspired by "a subservient force instigated by the third internationale and allied interests. to weaken the defensive powers of capitalistic countries; ef- forts of idealists to prevent war through a mistaken notion that preparedness Is a cause of war and a desire on the part of many news papers and magazines to sell copies by handing to the public Mrid reading which will help their sales"
 That said Pope. lis idle gossip. .
 Ut should be made clear to every citizen of the United States" he continued. that the purpose of the senate investigating committee is not to reduce the defensive forces of the United States but to end war propaganda. insidious lobbying, and excessive war profits
 ''It is vicious and contemptible that armament makers for the sake of profits carry on campaigns of insidious propaganda which al- ways floods congress when army and navy appropriation are be- ing considered and when world disarmament conferences are held"
 Pope said that Du Pont. mot having been accused of anything officially. is making somewhat premature defense by recrimina- tion."
