Early Decision On
Registrars. Expected
Judge Frederick M. Peasley Hears Arguments on
Status OF Local Offcials-'Strong Mayor Act Cited

Claims OF law on the case we're
filed with the court Counsel for
both sides conceded that 1t is a
question of law for the court to
decide, and that the crux OF the
whole matter is whether or not a
vacancy existed In the registrars
office when the former registrars
resigned. Mr.. o'Conp1r and Mr.,
scully claim there was a vacancy
and under the provisions of the
''strong mayor charter" passed by
the legislature In 1891, Mayor
Hayes was duty bound to make the
appointments to fill the vacanies.
No Vacancy
Mr.. Epson. on the other hand,
claims no vacancy existed, basing
his stand on the provisions of the
General Statutes. He pointed out
that the general law says that In
case of resignation, death or re-
moval of any registrar, the deputy
registrar automatically succeeds to
the office. That In the local case,
Mr.. Derwin and Mr.. DUMAS are
usurping the Offices that should be
filled by Michael u. Slavin and AL
bert o. Faller, deputies under the
former registrars.
Mr.. O'Connor pointed to the de-
cision Of the supreme court which
directed the removal of the two
former registrars as one ground for
his stand that there was q vacancy
existed when the. two registrars re-
signed. He said the supreme court
court stated the registrars offices
are declared vacant.
Mr.. O'Connor also held that the
charter provision, passed in 1881,
takes precedence over the General
Statues concerning the registrars
Office which were adopted in 1921.
He argued that the legislators are
assumed to be FAMILIAR with the
laws and that in passing the char
ter In 1891. which imposes duty
upon the mayor to fill all vacant
offices, they must have known of
the General Statues dealing with
the registrars office.
Decisions Cited
Mr.. Epson cited supreme court
decision which states that the
courts should place a harmonious
construction upon conflicting issues.
He charged that the special char
ter has not repealed the statutes.
He pointed out that the charter,
on which the mayor relies In max
ing the appointments, Is very gen.
cral. while the statues are written
In specific language.
- Mayors Power
Mr.. Scully added another thought
In pointing out the reading Of the
charter relating TO the Office of the
mayor. The charter, Mr.. Scully
said. explains that when the Office
OF the mayor Is vacated. the presi-
dent of the board OF aldermen au.
tomatically takes the Office during
the uncxpired term. The charter.
then, does state vacancy exists.
and when q vacancy occurs In any
Office, other than the mayors. the
mayor is duty bound to I'll that Of
fee. Mr.. Scully explained. lie
argued that the charter prevails In
this case and that the petition
brought against the two new regis
trars, should be dismissed.

Meets With Killer

Only when Koulouras tried 10 Q
cape did Christ become confused,
momentarily losing his icy cum
ming, and shoot at the fleeing man.
Separated Five Years.
Christ had been separated from
his wife for five years, according
to police. Yesterday afternoon he
told his son to dress In his best
clothes because they were going TO
visit his mother.
They got there early In the
evening but Mrs. Christ refused to
admit them.
II have message for YOU" the
husband told her.
She opened the door slightly.
Christ told her he wanted q d.
vorce.
Don't bother me- she replied.

He thrust his way inside and
locked the door.
Mrs. Christ began sobbing, po-

jumping up and down and vainly
striking at him. Mrs. Christ
screamed.
Christ shook off the child and
lunged at the woman with knife.
The blade sank into her throat.
Perry had quieted down, stunned
to silence. The man carried the
body of his wife to the bath room
and put 1t In the tub.
Put Body In Trunk
Later he put the body in a trunk,
police said, covering 1t with
clothing. He took his son back to
his own apartment but said he had
to return to get the knife from the
scene of the killing.
Koulouras arrived at the apart
ment about midnight and unlocked
the door. Christ stood, gun
gripped in one hand, the lead pipe
in the other.
Don't say a word" he warned
Koulouras.
He made the man enter the
apartment, his hands held high. He
led him to the home made electric
chair, beside which he had placed
candles that fiickered in the dim
light.
'Sit there" he ordered, accord
ing to the police story. II put my
wife's body In the trunk. I'm going
to kill you because you ought to be

Victim Played For Time
Koulouras played for time. He
