Bulls Took Advantage of House Vote in Market To-day
NICHOLAS JAMELE
| CHOICE OF MAYOR
May Be Named Constable
Today to Succeed Louis
@. Jannetty, Resigned

Louis 0. Jannetty, republican
constable, has rendered his resig-
nation to Mayor Hayes. This af-
ternoon the mayor, using his pow
er under the present strong
mayor" charter, will fill the va
cancy so created by naming ev-
Sheriff Nicholas Jamele consta-
BILE. Local constables, while not
having any arresting powers, OPP
crate as civil officers and have the
power to serve writs in the city of
Waterbury.
Mayor Hayes, when talked with,
stated that he knew of the resig-
nation OF Constable Jannetty. He
also said he would name Jameie
in the place made vacant by the
resignation. AS Janetty is a repub-
lican he stated he would name a
republican in his place and had
agreed upon Jamele.
The only hold-up in the appoint
ment of Jamele this morning was
the question of whether or not the
the recent decision of the superior
court relative to the registrars Of
flee might also have a bearing on
the vacancy in the post of cons
table. Corporation Counsel Charles
s. O'Connor and Executive Secre-
tary Thomas P. Kelly went over
the statutes and the charter and
arrived at the conclusion, it is
understood, that the mayor can fill
tho vacancy. He was required, how
ever, to fill a republican vacancy
with a new 6. o. p. appointee.

EDDIE CANTOR IS
AFRAID HE SAYS
Calls ON Jews to Unite to
Protect Themselves in
Present Crisis

Los Angeles, July 2-(UP)-The
plea OF Eddie Cantor, motion pic
ture comedian, that Jews in the
United States united in protection
against "the same thing that exists
in Europe" today created sombre
atmosphere at a B'Nai Birth
grand lodge convention. The radio
star, earnestly addressing 1000
delegates, declared that "for the
first time in my life am afraid"
you are living in precarious
times Cantor said. You know
the situation in Europe as far as
Jews are concerned; but I doubt
If many of you know how close to
the same situation we are here. in
America. We Jews have nothing to
fear from good Christians. We are
their brothers and sisters. But am
afraid of people who pretend to be
good Christians and those who are
not good Jews. You must unite to
protect yourselves"
Cantor then warned his audience
about the dangers of carrying free
speech over the radio too far, de-
claring: Father Coughlin (radio
priest) said few months ago that
the Jews have only three enemies
to fear-Bernard Baruch, Eddie
Cantor and the motion picture in
dustry. Free speech is beautiful
thing, but through the radio we are
permitting many like him to ad-
dress millions"

ish influence of the house revolt
against the death clause" in the
utility holding company bill
brought an irregularly higher stock
market today.
Wall Streets first reaction was
a swell of buying orders in utility
shares at the opening-blocks up
to 5000 shares Keeling out on the
tickers-which extended interest to
other divisions. But it was a short
lived demonstration which later
gave way to dullness.
Many. traders held close to the
sidelines in view of the Thursday
Fourth of July holiday and neither
rallying or selling movements could
get underway. Bonds generally
were firm, wheat eased on Dullish
private crop estimates while other
commodities were dull.
1t was almost entirely utility
market. Many oissues made new
highs for the year and held close
to those levels. Among the stocks
to make new highs or equal them
were Columbia Gas. Commonwealth

that the warrant or AFFIDAVIT used
was not procured in good faith,
because it was based on what al
legedly was told Hornstein by
Fisher and Andino (Andy) Merola,
slain gangster. At no time, Schar-
ton said, did Hornstein know or
meet Rettich.
He further moved dismissal of
all testimony in regard to Rettich
and the three New York defend
ants on the conspiracy charge be-
cause of Hornstein's admission that
he did not know them.
The attorney said admission OF
the testimony would put innocent
men in jeopardy"
HE might as well accuse the at
torneys in the case or President
Roosevelt himself" Scharton told
the court after the jury had with
drawn during arguments.
According to Scharton, there
was no evidence of the presence
of Rettich, Harrigan, Dugan and

were being made for the holdup

to meet another man. When he
returned, Rubin testified, Fisher
handed him a bundle wrapped in
newspaper.
When he and his wife reached
their Brighton home, Rubin testi-
fed, they opened the package and
counted the money and later, at
Fishers directions, put it in a safe

Mrs. Andino Merola, whose hus-
band was slain few months after
the holdup. was to tell her version
of the $4,000 Fall River mail
truck robbery in federal court
later today.
Merola was named by Herbert H.
Hornstein, confessed member of the
Rettich gang, as one of the princi-
pals in preparations for the rob-
berry and as the driver of the truck
to which the mail car loot was
transferred after the holdup.
Cross-examination of Hornstein,
star government witness, was to
end today. Attorney William r.
Scharton failed to shake Hornstein
during nearly three hours cross
examination yesterday. Attorney
Joseph Fitzpatrick was to question
him briefly today.
Hornstein yesterday repeatedly
denied that he was testifying for
the government because he had
been double crossed by the other
members of the gang, but he, ad-
mitted that he believed he was not
treated right" when he did not re-
ceive larger share of the loot
and when the gang failed to use
stolen registration plates in the
robbery rather than those he had
obtained under a fictitious name.
