HOMES GUARDED NEAR CRIME SCENE

The trial, in which Miss Stretz was acquitted, was replete with suggestions of eroticisms. Police psychiatrists said the type of man who would be excited by such stories would be extremely likely to execute crimes resulting from his emotion in the same vicinity.
 Nebulous clues to the identity of the killer popped up on every hand but were discredited almost as fast as they appeared.
 Nine detectives raidipg mid Manhattan hotel room arrested @ young real estate agent last night. Although he was charged only with violation of the law against possess ing arms, rumors arose that he was Titterton case suspect. Police de- nied that there was a connection.
 Another lead came from Police Lieut.. George Fallon of Quincy, Mass. FalIon sent to New York the name, description and finger prints of a former convict who attacked a Quincy woman in manner similar to the Titterton assault in 1927. Fall lon said the man is in New York.

DELAY MOTION IN
 PETROCELLI CASE
Continued from Page 1.)

No announcement was made by the assistant states attorney as to when Laveri would be put to plea, and it was possible that he might be called as a state witness. Laveri is accused of bringing the girl to Dr. Petrocelli, with the latter al- legedly performing the operation which caused the girls death. La veri yesterday afternoon posted bonds of $5,000 to gain his release.
 An inkling of the basis of the states case was given when Assist ant States Attorney Fitzgerald ques- toned each of the prospective Jur- ors as to whether he would return verdict of guilty assuming that the principal evidence brought against the accused was a death-bed state ment by a dying girl. MT. Fitzger- aid also questioned panel members at length on their feelings in re- gard to the morality of abortions.
 What Papers Reveal
 Attorney Mascolo, who is being aided in the defense by Attorney James Mcknight and Attorney Hugh McGill, questioned the pros pective jurors on the newspapers they read, stating that some papers had given the case more "promi- hence" than others. Another of his questions was whether Or not the prospective juror would place greater weight on testimony given by police officers or public officials, such as a coroner.
 Polling of the jury was proceed ing so slowly that 1t seemed probable that first evidence in the case will not be heard till tomorrow. It now appears as if the trial will last into next week, since the state will call numerous witnesses.
 The present trial is on one of two manslaughter counts against Dr. Petrocelli. In addition to being charged with the death of the Silva girl, he is charged with manslaugh- ter in the death of Jennie Pileski, of Collinsville, who died at Waterbury hospital last fall.

To Defy
 Britain, League
Armed Penalties Impossible
Continued from Page D

Most cabinet members are con- vinced that unanimity in the league council for armed penalties is un- attainable. Therefore they are not inclined to urge single handed Brit ish action which would risk war in the Mediterranean.
 The majority of ministers is un- derstood to favor awaiting the result of the conference between Salvador de Madariaga, representing the league, and Wolde Marian, repre- senting Ethiopia, at Geneva today: and the conference tomorrow be- tween Madariaga and Baron Pompo Aloisi of Italy.
 Italy May Change Mind
 The reason they favored this course was that they believed Pre- mier Benito Mussolini might be ready to discuss peace soon, despite belligerent talk-not only because 1t is estimated that the war is costing Italy $22,500,O0O week in all, but that 1t is weakening Italy's position as regards Austria, its vitally i'm portant neighbor opposite Germany, and in European councils generally.
 While Italy is believed to be pre- pared for direct peace negotiations with Ethiopia without league "in- reference" Britain is determined to maintain strong league control over peace talks.

Though Hitler is more-than- usually facile speaker, this and other two-hour speeches of recent weeks are excellent evidence that his long-standing throat trouble was conquered by an operation a year ago.
 During the last year, Hitler has aged noticeably, and is considerably heavier. Desk work in place of the active campaigning of earlier years has done to him what 1t does to most men. But he still shows a vast driving energy in all public appear ances, and recent tours during the Redchstag election" revealed per feet picture of man in a tearing hurry, driven by consciousness that time is all too short to accomplish what he wills.
 SPEECH STIRRED WONDER
 This attitude has brought back to many European minds the recollec- tion of speech by Hitler some months ago in which he appeared to make political last will and testament.
 It had been well known that for years Hitler had suffered from throat trouble, perhaps aggravated by the constant speechmaking of the days when he was building his party.

 London, April 14-(U.P)-Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin has called into urgent consultation Lord Tyr rell of Avon, the one-man brain trust of British diplomacy to help solve one of the gravest dilemmas facing Britain's foreign policy since the World War, 1t was understood today. In the thick of every crisis for 45 years, a baron and five times recipient of honors entailing knight hood for his services to the country, Ambassador to France for six years, the veteran diplomatist was called to the prime minister's country re- treat, it was understood, to advise him on new double crisis - the Italian-Ethiopian and French-Ger- man disputes. It appeared that he. not Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden or anyone else, was the dy- manic force behind British foreign policy in the emergency.
 Concentrate on Peace
 It was believed that he advised Baldwin to concentrate his diploma tic efforts on ascertaining the pos sibility of effecting peace negotia- tions between Italy and Ethiopia accompanied by an armistice and by avoidance of any armed or other provocative" action which might prejudice peace.
 Tyrrell was believed to have hastened to Baldwin's Easter holi- day refuge, on an estate some co miles from that which Eden is stay ing. Baldwin and Eden were in in- termittent consultation, and Bald win was in consultation with others But 1t was understood he decided to call personally on Tyrrell, long one of his confidential brain trust" advisers, at this crucial juncture.
 Britain's quandry today was ap- parent. A British spokesman as- Sured the United Press that efforts would be devoted to conciliation. At the same time an Italian spokesman assured the United Press that Mar shal Pietro Badoglio would continue his relentless drive to smash Ethio- plt lLltO DuU1illoolOil.
 Britain Situation Acute
 British-Italian tension, 1t was learned, was more acute than at any time since the British fleet was con- centrated in the Mediterranean last September. The "sanctionist" front against Italy in Geneva seemed to be weakening. The Italian flag was flying on the shore of Lake Tana, Italian soldiers were separated by only a small dry river bed from Sudanese Gallabat. British-French differences had become glaring. France insisted that Britain had a frown for Italy and 8 smile for Ger many. It was rumored that France was asking for a firm British guar antee of Austria's frontiers as the price for French cooperation in nrmer action against Italy.
 Baldwin Opposed Eden
 While the cabinet was not meet ing during the holidays, 1t was un- derstood that Baldwin in his holi- day consultations with Eden op- posed the thesis that economic pen alties against Italy had failed and that, hence, military or naval meas ures--possibly entailing closure of the Suez canal--were desirable.
 A strong section of the cabinet, also, was agreed that an oil embargo against Italy would be futile as Italy is believed now to be well stocked, warned by the long delayed threat of embargo

Italians Advance

Rome, April 14-(UP)-Italian soldiers continued to advance all along the northern front in Ethio- pia, Marshal Pietro Badoglio re- ported today in war communique No. 184.
 Of yesterdays visit of airplanes to Addis Ababa, he said:
 "Twenty-two Italian planes flew over Addis Ababa, dropping leaf lets. They abstained from war &C., tion. Nevertheless the panic of the population was enormous"

to arrive before tomorrow after- noon. Madariaga was not surprised as there had been intimations her0' of the Italian intentions. Hence he| arranged to start talks today with Wolde Marian, Ethiopian delegate
 Aloisis tardiness made 1t most| unlikely that Madariaga would bel able to report to the committee of| 13 Thursday, as planned, whether| Italy and Ethiopia were ready to| talk business.
 Would Tie Eden's Hands
 The prospect was that Madariaga| would be able merely to report that| he had an initial talk with AloistI and needed more time. This wouldI tie the hands of Anthony Eden, chief British delegate, and make it| necessary for the committee of 13l to defer its decision on action to' be taken. @ Italian sources explained to Mad-| ariaga that Mussolini had not had time to confer with Aloisi and in- struct. him. But the feeling waS strong here that the instructions were primarily to delay any league' action on penalties if possible.
 Pierre Laval Talks
 Paris, April 14-UP)-Continued' French negotiations with Germany to consolidate peace, and lifting 0f' penalties against Italy for its war on Ethiopia, were urged today byI Pierre Laval, former premier and foreign minister in his first decla-| ration since his overthrow in Jan-| uary. Urging that the government do all 1t could to reach an under-| standing with Germany, Laval warned against Systematic refusal to negotiate" He urged that ItalyI be permitted to return to the Euros| pean community through the can-| cellation of penalties, and vigorous ly critisized British insistence of treating the German and Italian| treaty violations as different mat-| ters. without an accord betwoenI Paris and Berlin there can be mol effective guaranty of peace for peo-| ple," Laval said in his declaration to the United Press.
 Keeping It Alive
 T did every thing I could to| keep the flame of the French-Ital- ian-British agreement for coopora- ton, made at Stresa year ago, alive. The moment has come to re- light it. With league sanctions lifted and just honorable peace concluded with Ethiopia we can envisage the destiny of Europe with more confidence. "Fuerhrer Adolf Hitler has repeatedly held out the olive branch. But by lis acts he has often made 1t impossible for those among us who sincerely want good relations, who want to see| France and Germany good neigh bors holding each other in esteem. to act. Hitler formulates propo- sals now the details of which Il shall not go into. That is the affair of the government. But the syste. matic refusal of negotiations ap- pears to me to be an cEseg. On condition that we in France KAmain strong, consider 1t duty that we do every thing and neglect nothing to obtain consolidation of peace.
 We do not want a selfish peace for us alone. We ask 1t for all"
