Epileptic Fit Causes Abrupt Ending of Case

An abrupt end to the trial of two men charged with automobile homicide came shortly before 1 o'clock this afternoon after the states principal witness, a woman who had seen the accident which resulted in the arnpu- tAtion of the leg of four-year- old Lucille De Sapio, fell vic- tim to an epileptic fit while on the witness stand.
 When, after a recess during which the witness was treated, she again suffered Q fit, States Attorney Lawrence L. Lewis moved that the case be nolled. Judge Edwin O. Dickenson granted the request.
 The men on trial were Peter ver- sallona, 25, and Peter Santalucci, 42, who have been held since last No. venber. They were bound over to superior court after Q police inves- tigation of the accident which cost the tot her left leg.
 Trial had begun at 11:30 this morning, and the first witness called was Mrs. Antoinette Desapio, mother of the injured youngster, Lucille. The girl was herself on the stand, carried by her mother.
 When the states principal witness was called and began to testify, she was overcome by a fit. Court was recessed and she was given medical attention. When she took the stand again, the same thing happened. It was at this point that MT. Lewis rec- commended the nolle.
 The case was unusual in that two drivers were charged with being responsible for the same accident. The girl was sitting on the steps of Q Congress avenue building when the truck crashed into her in the afternoon of November 30, 1885.

 SAY EMPLOYERS

Tonawanda, N. Y., June i6--(Up) --Ofilcials of Remington Rand, Inc, today said that they had broken the four-week old strike of it's Tona- wanda employees with 70 per cent of the workers back at their posts in the two plants here.
 Shortly after plant opening, dead- line set for return of the strikers, officials said all departments were operating for the first time since the beginning of the walkout.
 s. Hayes Ensinger, advertising manager, said that all but il strik- CTS invited to return to the North Tonawanda unit had responded be- fore the deadline.
 Jobs for strikers who ignored the company invitation to return to work will be filled by new appli- cants, Ensinger said.
 Strike leaders disputed the claim of Frank A. Hart, manager of the two plants, that 70 per cent had re- turned. They said less than 40 per cent were back at work.

McC Carthy Family l Shows Gratitude

Fire Marshal Den Lahey re- Ceived . check today for $50, not for him personally, but for the aid assOciatoin of the fire de. pertinent of which all members are jointly interested. And 1t was sent to the marshal, personally, by an old friend, Q member of the Mccarthy family of Chestnut ave- nue, fin recognition of the cxcel- lent work of the department at . fire on April "A when the Mc- Carthy building at S96 South Main street caught fire from . gasoline paper remover, since banned for further use by the fire laarshaTs office. Deputy Chief Thomas Cavanaugh directed the firemen through blazing gasoline distributed or rather accidentally spilled in the railways, and the miracle was that any part of that particular floor of the four story brick building was saved.
 "The Mccarthy family is an honored Waterbury family" ex- plalned the marshal, "and thu check is In keeping with the policy and practice of these fine peo- pie for many years, as known to those among us who have been residents of the city alI our lives. Their kind act constitutes the old Waterbury spirit"
 The check was forwarded to the marshal by David McCarthy, out of long established friendship from the days of amateur bail as played by school teams in st. Mary's school lot off East Main street.
 The gift will be brought to the attention of the board of fire com missioners by Chief Lynch at the regular meeting to Dc held We'd nesday afternoon.

SPAIN TO PUSH COMPLETION
OF LONG-FOSTERED
PLAN
:BT Associated preS.1

MADRID. May 11.-Renewed
interest in the Gibralter tunnel
project has brought announcement
by the new Azana government
that it would push completion of
the long-fostered plan.
Recently revised plans for the
proposed land-link between Spain
and Africa call for the construc-
ton, at an estimated cost of $780,
C00,0O0 pesetas (about $50.OOO,-
000) Of twin tubes nearly %
miles long extending under the
Strait of Gibraltar from the
southernmost tip of the Iberian
peninsula diagonally to the Moroc-
can coast.
The project. originally con-
ceived more than a dozen years
ago by Col. Pedro Jevenois of the
Spanish army engineers, found
much encouragement from King
Alfonso XIII.
The subsequent downfall of the
monarchy and success'v changes
of government under the repub-
lie. however. shuffled the project
to the background.
Minister of Public Works Santi-
ago tCasTeS ,Quiroga has included
developmentof the tunnel project
on his extensive public works pro-
gram for the relief of unemploy-
ment. He has announced he will
ask congress to appropriate funds.
Preliminary geological work
has been completed by the Ma
tional Institute of Oceanography
and test wells 1900 feet deep at
the projected t7rminal points of
Tore de la Pena on the Spanish
side of the strait and at Punta
Altares. northeast of Tangiers,

tons for excavation are ''ideal."
