TREASURY FORCE
 POOR SHOOTERS
Morgenthan Tried Them Out and One of Best
 Shot Into Ceiling

a Washington, July IT - (U.P)- Having read about all these rob- berries and hoidups in the news papers, Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr, has decided that maybe the treasury guards ought to know how to shoot.
 He figures that they've got quite a pile of gold to watch, to say mo- thing of few hundred million dol lars worth of currency. and that they'd be out of luck; say, if John Dillinger should show up and they missed him with their guns.
 He has established therefore un- der the lawn, facing the White House, a bricked-in-court for use as shooting gallery. His move was timely.
 One of his best guards carefully took aim at the paper target, pull led the trigger, and was surprise a to find that the bullet had plunked into the ceiling. That's the kind of thing Morgenthau is after.

NEW SEWER HAS PROVEN WORTH
 BY LAST STORM
Was Built on ThOmastOn Avenue-O Officials Are
 We'll Satisfied

Construction of the storm water sewer at the foot of Homer street on Thomaston avenue has eradi- cated the flooded condition that usually resulted after severeaelec- trical storms The severe storm of last week proved to the officials of the street department that the new job in Waterville will stand up un- der the increased rush of water This was brought about by the installation of 30-inch concrete pipe to carry off the excess water, where only 1S-inch pipe carried the load before.
 That it was inadequate was only made evident each time storm of any major proportion struck this vicinity. For years autoists had to drive around the young lake that always congregated near the Beardsley & Wolcott Mfg. Co.,, after each storm. Those who attempted to go through found the water ur above the running boards.

Wolcott Offers NelU Sensational Medley
Attempt to Bmglarize Hitchcock Lake Club House; Kidnapping of Janitor; Robbng Him of SEQ; Taken
 for Ride and Left at St Mary's Hospital

A case that has a number of features that can be directly com pared with tales of the Arabian Nights took place in Wolcott and Waterbusy from 3:2q to. S:30 tEis morning, with complicated maze of circumstances setting everybody connected with the situation more or less dizzy. Major happenings in the affair include an unsuccessful attempt at burglary of the Hitch tion clubhouse, the Kidnapping of q janitor, the robbery from him of $20, a several hours ride on his part in his own car while he was and his release a little after S:30 this morning at St Mary's hospital.
 Kidnap Victim
 The Kidnapping victim was Ben jamin Benny" Cowles. who acts as janitor at the fish and game asso- citation clubhouse. Benny was kid naped, he said, after he had re- fused to reveal the location where in were kept the days receipts at thg clubhouse, and driven over country roads for hours with his eyes tightly covered. Just to add to the general idea of the "unusuaP', he claims that the two bandits who waylaid him were barefooted and that<one of the pair still barefoot ed. led him through main streets of the citl at 8 o'clock this morn ing.
 News about the series of hap pcnings was harder to get than if it were displomatic correspondence. Nobody who was questioned by re- porters happened to ''know any thing about it." II, was only after determined canvass of facts and thories from state police, Wolcott managers of the club house and Waterbury police that the whole story could be pieced to- gether bit by bit.

ABE FABER AND NORMA MILLEN
 LOST DECISION
Made Fight for New Trial To=day-Judge Brown
 Denied Motion

Dedham, Mass, July 17-O P.) Superior Judge Nelson P. Brown after hearing to-day, denied mo- tions for new trials for Norma Brighton Millen and Abe Faber in connection with the Needham bank killings.
 Norma's counsel, George A. Douglas, Immediately filed an ap- peal which will carry -the case to the state supreme court when 1t convnes at Boston in October.
 In his plea, Douglas argued that Norma was not an~accessory after the Needham slayings becau use she wsg controlled by her husband, Murton. at all times. Whatever she did. she did at her husbands com mand, Douglas said.
 Murton, with his brother, irving, and Faber, faces mandatory death sentence for the killings.
 Opposing Norma's plea, District Attorney Edmund R. Dewing said Norma must have been aware of her husbands career of banditry because she was present one night when Faber boasted what a good shot he was.
 If she were not an accessory. Dewing argued, why did Norma drive around until she picked up the three men after the bandit car had ben burned at Norwod.
 Dewing further pointed out that Norma had lived under fictitious names.
 In his plea, William R. Schar- ton, Faber's lawyer, cited various instances of the jury being taken to public places and of contacts, be- ing made with them by outsiders. after deputy sheriffs had been sworn by the court to allow no one to speak to them.
 Scharton said the government might as well abolish the system of keeping the jury locked up to- gether if procedure such as this were to be condoned.
 It was "a farce and a comedy, , allowing outsiders in a room with the jury, he said.
 Scharton called the courts at- tention to the fact that Juror Theodore Davis of Norwood was permitted to leave his fellow jur- ors and visit his wife, who had just had a baby at Norwood hos pital.

 Hartsdale, N. Y.. July 17-UP) An itinerant peddler who talked in vague terms of a shadow past was held by police today as the only suspect and possible clue to the enigmatic disappearance of Bobby Connor. The child, if still alive, was 21 months old today.
 Except for arrest of the peddler, Harry Lee Forestier. 51. police and federal agents were at stone wall, Forestier was arrested because he was seen in Hartsdale Manor Thursday when Bobby disappeared in a wooded section near his home
 After prolonged questioning au- thorities said they had uncovered nothing to link him with the boys absence. They said Forestier talked nlysteriously of his wandering car ger and admitted he once had been in an institution for mental treat ment.
 Forestier was identified, police said. by Mrs Charles Connor, moth- CT of the missing boy, as the cos metic peddler who was in Harts- dale and frightened several house wives with his rambling talk.
 Remembering the Lindbergh Kidnapping case, in which the body of Charles Lindbergh, Jr., was found in woods weeks after searchers had trampled over the area, authorities directed another thorough search of territory sur rounding the Connor home late yesterday.
