MOVE TO STALL
 PLEA IS BEGUN
States Attorney Claims Mccarthy Has No Re.
 course to Law

States Attorney Lawrence L. Lewis moved today to forestall the plea of Dennis J. Mccarthy for a new trial by filing demurrer which cites the statute of limitations in criminal cases. MT. Lewis claims that three years have elapsed since the imposition of the sentence, and therefore Mccarthy has no recourse to law for e new trial.
 Judge Edwin 0. Dickenson gave States Attorney Lewis permission to file the demurrer today. Argu- ment on the demurrer will probably be presented on Friday, at the short calendar session.
 Mccarthy was sentenced to serve from 20 to 30 years in Wethersfielo on the charge of being third of- fender. Sentence was imposed in 1882. Mccarthy claims that his trial was not legal and that his sen- tence Is not just.

DANAHER. R.SMITH
 SEEK MAYORALTY
Meriden Voters Went to Polls Today; Democrats
 Sweep Willimantic

Democratic victories in two sinall- CT state cities were seen today by John H. Crary, Waterbury Demo- cratic town chairman and state cen- tral committeeman, as definite in- dication that the party is making great progress In organizing for the state elections next year.
 Should the Meriden voters return Mayor stephen L. Smith today over Francis R. Danaher of the promi- nent Republican family of Danahers then Chairman Crary admitted his satisfaction would be complete.
 Reference was to the victory of all Democratic candidates at Put nam yesterday, behind Harry 0. kel- ly, who replaces Francis H, Murphy, incumbent seeking third term, and the sweep of the Democrats back into power in Willimantic, where Mayor P. J. Laramee was returned to office by greater majority than his original showing, and Ave of seven places on the board Of alder men went to the Democrats.
 "They're both good men," MT. Crary remarked ct the Meriden may orally candidates. He would not pre- dict what the outcome may be, but said that Mayor Smiths record ought to be a deciding factor.

 "There wasn't one chance in a thousand of him finding his way out" he said. "At least none of the miners hereabouts believed he could. We're all pretty happy he got out alive"
 Lee and John Ingram went into the mine Sunday morning to weigh out some coal for a boiler furnace. They returned to the surface, then Lee, with . small carbide lamp, went back alone to pick up some empty dynamite cans. He wandered around the 40-mile maze of pass ageways until today.
 Just Drifted around
 After he had been given nourish- inent, the young bookkeeper told his wife that he had "just drifted around down there."
 "fie seems all right. Mrs. Lee said. He told me he wandered around in the old Briar mine for many hours and then stumbled into the No. 6 mine. This morning ct 2 o'clock he found the shaft and came out. That's about all there is to it."

 Mllkman Saves Her
 A milkman, Charles Sargent, an employe of Wookey's dairy, Water- town, who was driving by, saw the house on fire. Unable to get in the front or side door, he broke open window and found Mrs. Prager crawling about the floor, seeking to get out. He got her out the wins dow, and hailed a passing motorist, asking him to give the alarm. When he went back to the house, Mrs. Prager had disappared.
 For e time 1t was feared that she might have re-entered the house, but later 1t was found that she had wandered down through the woods. When she could not be located ct the homes of friends or relatives, fire" men and neighbors began securing the woods. Sine was finally founa at ii:30 o'clock by George souci, of White Road, who located her HlOnR UElC IllHH t0AlDAOAA AAAAV SsDsS way between Martone street ana WatersoWn avenue.

MELLON ESTATE
 WINNER, LOSER
Continued from Page l)

 with intent to evade taxes"
 The board also dissolved Mellon o1 & charge that he filed 8 false alo fraudulent return for the purpose ol eyading taxes. The government hao alleged that two stock transactions sale of the common stock of the Pittsburg Coal company to the Union Trust company of Pittsbure and stock of the Western Public Service Corporation also to the Union Trust as the basis of its charges.
 Presumption of Good Faith
 "Just as the law clcAks every man with Q presumption of inno- cence," the opinion said in this res spect, "it likewise clothes him with a presumption of good faith in his business dealings. Fraud is never presumed.
 Tt must be proven by clear and convincing evidence. Having care- fully considered all of the evidence and oil of the inference properly to be drawn therefrom, we find in our minds no doubt as to the correct determination. The record before US does not sustain the charge of fraud"
 on basis of the findings, Mellon's estate apparently won six of the 10 major issues, and lost three.
 one of the issues was cotnproin- ised. c
 Complete, Valid Sale
 The board found that the sale by Mellon of stock of the Pittsburg Coal O., was @ complete and valid sale, and that Mellon was entitled to a legal deduction. Mellon clairn- cd loss of $6,677,956 in this tratls- action.
 He lost the second issue, which involved sale of stock of the Vest ern Public Service Corporation to the Union Trust company Of Pitts. burg.
 The government claimed that the disposal of these stocks did not "ap- pear to be transactions on which losses may be recognized for income tax purposes"
 The board held that the petitioner had the burden of proof which 1t failed to establish.
 The board also upheld Melons claim to Q deductable loss on his income tax in connection with the transfer of certain securities to As- calot Co.,, which was owned by his daughter, Mrs. Ailsa Mellon Bruce.
 Govt. Is Upheld
 The government was upheld iil It's claim that Mellon realized Q taxable gain of Se,b4o,900 in the liquidation of the McClintock Marshall corpor- ation, of which he was one of four stockholders.
 The issue was whether this amount was to be taxable at the rate of 20 per cent on 6 dividend basis, or at l2 Ia per cent, corii- puted as capital gains. The board upheld the government ruling that it was subject to the higher rate.
 The board also held that certain payments by the Union Construc- ton co. and Pitt Securities corpor- ation for the Mellon account were dividends and therefore taxable at the 20 per cent rate rather than at i2 1-2 per cent as capital gains.
