 Judge McEvoy deferred sen- the matters consideration.
 The sextet of youths charged with starting crime wave here, ali pleaded not guilty and all. but two chose jury trials. Various counts of larceny. aggravated as-. sault, robbery with violence and using car without permission are lodged against them.
 Later, this afternoon, Judge Me- Eyoy sentenced John Kane, 20, and Andrew Jerry, IT, to the state re- formatory when they pleaded guilty to charge of robbery with violence. Sentence was deferred. by Judge McTcvoy on the case of Don aid G1istiniani. who likewise pleaded guilty to robbery with vio- lence charges. Kane and Jerry. were charged with holding up a gas station on East Main street. August 21 and escaping with about $19 in cash. A week later. Kane. Jerry with Guistiniani, held up First National Store and robbed 1t of $S3. Attorney H.

Scores of persons were ques- toned. Stated electives journeyed to other states to run down possi- ble clues.
 But authorities were stalemated by the manner in which the assas- sin had covered his tracks. Neither the death weapon nor a possible motive, so far as is known, was discovered.

Greenfield, Mass, Jan. 9-UP) The buckshot volley that blasted out the life of the Rev Elliott Speer, 36-year-old headmaster of Mount Hermon school in nearby Northfield, was fired by person "whose name is unknown to me" Associate Justice Timothy H. Hayes stated in his report today of the murdeE-inquest. Thus, the campus staying. despite a 10-day secret inquest during which 6S witnesses were heard, remained one of Massa chusetts' most baffling and mysteriously unsolved crimes. Judge Hayes report was filed with the clerk of Franklin county court about 10 a. m., the result of weeks long perusal of 500,00O words of testimony taken during, the in- quest. The report ran to 10 closely printed pages.

 Tearing Into The Doctor
 Lawyers for Bruno Richard Haiiptmann ripped into the story told on the witness stand today by pr. John E. Condon by insinuating that "Jafsie" himself was involved in the Lindbergh Kidnapping.
 "Jafsie" was turned over to Ed ward J. Reilly, defense cousel, for cross examination, after he had hurled three charges at the defen- dant Hauptmann that were the most damaging yet made against him.
 Ne said Hauptmann sat on a bench with him in Woodlawn cem- etery and identified two safety pins those that held down the covers in the crib of Charles A. Lind- bergh, Jr., That was the first time any witness had given direct evil dence that Hauptmann was in the nursery on the night of the kid naping.
 Then he testified Hauptmann was the man who got the $50,0o0 ransom across a hedge in St Ray mond's cemetery.
 Condoa shouted when he iden- tified Hauptmann.
 "And who was that man?" asked Attorney General David T. Wilentz
 Tt was John," Condon yelled.
 And who is John?"
 John is Bruno Richard Haupt- mann"
 Once in the afternoon session Condon slipped up and said "Brnnc Rudolph" but quickly corrected himself to Bruno Richard Haupt- mann"
 The prisoner made no move at Jafsie shouted these charges al him. His arms were folded across his gray-brown suit. He was quie, in contrast to yesterday when he kiAttGEV0 yO0 Ap 0 ANNA "eNNAe witness Identified him.
