my Uncle Jerry's life against my

To Recite Prayer at Opening of Criminal Side of Superior Court OmOrrow-Twenty-Fom
 Cases on This Terms Docket

Rev. Francis M. O'Shea, admin istrator of the Church of the Im- maculate Conception, will recite the invocation prayer at the opening tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock of the criminal session of superior court. Judge Patrick B. O'Sullivan will preside at the session, which lists a docket of 24 cases.
 Variety of Charges
 A variety of charges will be pre- sented by States Attorney Lawrence L. Lewis and Assistant States At torney William B. Fitzgerald, against the 24 accused. The criminal session is expected to be practically uneventful in view of the expecta- ton that almost every one of the accused will plead guilty. Investiga- tion of all cases has been completed by County Detective Roland G. All- ing.
 Four cases of automobile homicide and two of manslaughter head the list which also includes cases of embezzlemelt, theft, aggravated as- SaulC, keeping liquor WlLn lnCenC LO sell, and indecent assault.
 Open in Morning
 Opening of the criminal session at 10 a. m. is something out of the or dinary in the local superior court, for past sessions have not opened until 2 p. III. The reason for the change is that in the past the open ing date here and in New Haven have coincided and it was necessary to delay the local opening until afternoon so that High Sheriff J. Edward Slayin could be present. High Sheriff Slavin attends the opening of all criminal sessions. The New Haven session opened last week.
