A formal mot guilty" plea was
entered this afternoon for Robert

York's murder in triplicate."
The plea, mandatory under New
York statute, was made by Sam

attorney retained by the sculptor
Judge William Allen in General
Sessions granted Leibowitz until
July Is to prepare motions. Mean
while, Irwin was taken back to
his cell in the Tombs.
The sculptor. termed CRAZY as
a bedbug" by Leibowitz, has little
prospect of being called to trial
before fall for the murders of
Veronica Gedeon. artists model,
her mother, Mrs. Mary Gedeon,
and their roomer, Frank Byrnes.
Other factors make the delay ap-
pear certain. One is the limited
court activity in July and August.
Another is that Leibowitz must
leave Sunday for Alabama, where
he is associated with the defense
in the Scottsboro case, and does
not know when he will return.
In the long interval, the only
visitors Irwin is likely to have are
psychiatrists. District Attorney

artist to the electric chair, has
arranged for his staff alienist, DR..

The argument was halted by
Senator William H. King Cd Of

session.
Later 1t was announced that at
2 o'clock the committee and the
District Commissioners would meet
'behind closed doors to decide upon

n The first witness today was
Alex Nordholm, representing the

alton which, he aid, was or
ganized a month or a month and
a half ago when the tax question
was first brought up for discus
sion. On questioning from Sena-

Questioning the witness closely
on his opposition to the sales tax,
Senator Willard TydingS CD of
Maryland brought out from the
analysis Of figures furnished by
Nordholm that the proposed tax

Nordholm stuck steadfastly to
