Attorney Gager told The Demo- crat this afternoon that MT. Jen- nings had made his offer as an in- dividual and was not representing any other individuals or groups. MT.

 The property purchased includes the hotel building, land on West Main street and Prospect street, and additional land now used as a parking lot, on Prospect street.
 In recommending the sale, Attor- ney Gager told the court that the hotel has lost money steadily in the past few years. The encumbrances taken over by MT. Jennings include mortgages, interest, back taxes and money advanced for payment of taxes.

 Madrid, Oct. 16.-(UP)-Loyalist machine gunners turned their fire on their own men today to stop the retreat on Madrid before the sea- soned soldiers of the nationalist army.
 From the front, on a line IS miles west of Madrid, came deSpairtng appeals for achievements.
 More power was concentrated in the emergency defense Junta repre- senting all elements of the loyalist side-anarchists, syndicalists, com munists.
 The curfew hour was moved up to 10 D. man hour earlier-and the city was completely blacked out in fear of airplane bombardments.
 Premier Francisco Largo Cabal- lero was in almost constant touch with the general staff and other ministers were at their posts day and night.
 More men were sent out to work on the city Qualifications. The city was stripped for action.
 In the streets appeared great postersand banners appealing to all able bodied men to volunteer. Said one:

your women to be raped by Moors2H Under these banners, while tho untrained boysand old men at thG front tried to stop the rebels, there walked, with no apparent interest in the war, thousands of uniform ed militiamen.
 Henry T. Gorrell and other United Press staff correspondents at the front gave a terrible picture of the situation there.
 Behind a few thousand storm guards and national republican guards there are tens of thousands of absolutely untrained men, tn- cluding many countrymen and mountaineers recruited on the spot. Not all have rifles.
 These men, with few trained of- ficers, have been for days under 8 | terrific attack by all the arms of modern warfare infantry, cavalry, artillery, machine guns, trench mor- tars, armored cars, tanks, airplanes. The artillery batteries open, then the airplanes, great black bomberS protected by WaSpish pursuit planes begin to tour back and forth along the lines, bombing, then sweeping down with machine gun fire. The Loyalists have been Sufiici- ently under fire now to keep their posts under the airplane fire, lying prone in the open if they cannot find shelter.
 But then come, directly in front of them, moving with the delibera- tion of the trained soldier, walking slowly, the professional soldiers of the nationalist army, regulars, civil guards, foreign legionnatres dis carding clothing as the day gets warmer, Moors singing gutturally. bayonetS advanced.
 The loyalists have not been able to stand up against it. Each day the United Press cars are stopped nearer to Madrid-18 miles now, two days from the city by forced march of an army.
 l The line runs southward from Robledo de Chavela through Chap ineria and Aldea Del Fresno to Mentrida and the Maqueda-M Madrid highway. On roads all through this area, nationalist troops are hacking their way along.
 East of San Martin de Valdei- glesias, directly west of Madrid on a main highway, men of the 10th of October battalion broke badly. The clerks and mechanics of the militia had been warned that now they must stand fast against what ever odds-and they are even out- numbered now by the better armed professionals of the nationalistS. The battalion had lost heavily. But it was necessary to stop them and on the disorganized men were turned the machine guns of their own men.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-10-16

the nationalists flew back ana 1orCn on the Madrid East Coast railroad which runs through Aranjuez south- east of the capital. They had dam aged it slightly several times before. This time, the emphasis on the ex- tent of the bombardment indicated that the road might have been dam aged beyond immediate repair.
 Bare mention was made of the bombing of strategic points near Madrid. Based on previous dis patches of the nationalist plan of ATTACK, it was indicated that this bombardment took in Q wide area south of the capital = Illescas, 20 miles south on the Toledo high way; Aranjuez, 2S miles south; Naval carnero, 18 miles southwest: the Carabanchel barracks and air port immediately south of Madrid; the Quatrovientos and Getafe air. ports.
 In addition, United Press dis patch from nationalist headquart- CTS at Salamanca reported 8 severe bombardment by six nationalist planes of Malga airdrome on the south coast - the next point of at tack after Madrid. It was asserted by the nationalists that 13 airplanes recently arrived from abroad" were destroyed.
 As for Madrid, the nationalist bat tie plan was clear. The troops were moving in toward Fl Escorial, north west of the capital, whence they had a paved highway on which to walk the remaining IS miles, and on Navalcarnera, 18 miles southwest also on a main highway. Next was to come the attack from Toledo = northeast on Aranjuez, north o1 Madrid, with small detachments covering every road converging 1n- ward on the capital.
 A most important part of the na- tionalist battle plan seemed to be the clear invitation to the loyalists to retreat eastward from Madrid
 The great drive is entirely from the west and over @ great area east of the capital there are no rebels at all. There is one nationalist col umn driving down the highway from Zaragoza in the northeast. But 1t is 8 small one, a cog in a pig plan.

 Judge Foster yesterday denied a defense motion to have the first degree murder conviction of McEl- roy set aside.
 Public. Defender Thomas R. Rob- inson, representing the Canadian. asked the verdict be set aside on grounds there had been no proof of reconciliation and that the jury "apparently had not considered the state of mind" of the accused imme- diately prior to the staying.
 Assistant States Attorney Abra- ham Ullman, fighting this conten- tion, told the court that McEroy. prior to the staying, had gone to his room and lay across the bed Tor several hours, and then put two razors and knife in his pocket and went to the dormitory to wait for the woman.
