just about all he had.
He didn't begin worrying for two
days. Then he realized Amos had
forgotten the incident. He under
stood that Amos was so used to
spending money on whims that SAL
didn't mean much to him and the
incident of the lamp had slipped
his mind
Dan didn't know what to do. He
couldn't afford to lose SAL, yet he
hated to remind Amos. Then he
had an idea. The day before he
and Agnes were to leave Amos drove
him to the railroad station to get
his reservations. The tickets came
to $50. Dan reached for his wallet,
then looked foolish. 'Jingoes,' he
said, I left my wallet home!
Amos laughed heartily, produced
a roll of bills and paid for the
tickets. Dan felt better. 1t would
be an easy matter to forget this in
cident, the way Amos had forgotten
about the lamp. In fact, he'd be
$12 to the good.
But it didn't work out that way.
The next morning, just before Dan
and Agnes were ready to leave for
their train, Amos smilingly re-
minded Dan of the $50 he'd spent
for tickets. Dan flushed and said,
Say, that's right. But look. you
owe me SAL for the lamp. I'll give
you sl2 and We'll be square
Why, I paid you that! Amos
exclaimed.
Dan stared. He grinned. No,
you didn't. You were going to, but
you forgot
Amos face clouded. Say, what
is this? I remember distinctly pay
ing you. Id never pull trick like
that
"'You didn't, said Dan, because I
know exactly how much money I
had. Besides, I'm not accusing you
of pulling any trick
"'It sounds like it to me- Amos
said uglily. I thought at first the
difference in caste wasn't going to
interfere with our friendship. Now
l can see you intend playing me for
a sucker!'
Dan Redeemed. You're nuts, mis-
ter There's no difference in caste.
The only difference is in dollars and
cents. Keep your filthy dough: I
don't want any part of it!'
agnes arrived in time to prevent
blows On the train going back to
Boston, Dan suddenly ceased staring
from the window and chuckled.
Well. anyway he said, I made s12
out of the deal That louse!'
Agnes sighed. Hereafter she
said, we'll be smart enough to keep
inside our own circles"

Norwalk, Conn, May 1S.-(UP)- A five-months-old baby, whose neck was broken when his father shook him violently to halt his crying, fought for his life today Under an oxygen tent at Norwalk haspital. Hospital authorities reported the baby, George Mccoy, was in a poor" condition. His name was was lodged in Norwalk jail on a breach of peace charge. He failed placed on the danger list.

 He said Mccoy told him the child had been crying for some hours yes- terday and that every effort to quiet him failed. Mccoy, the offi- cer related, gave the infant bottle repeatedly, but the crying con- tinued. Then, Lengyel said, Mo- Coy told him he became "upset," spanked and shook the child and placed him on a bed. Mrs. Mo- Coy told authorities her husband took the child by the hips and shook him violently.
 A little later, police were told, the couple went to the bed and found the baby gaSping for breath. They took him to the hospital, where Dr. Edward J.

THREE ARMIES OF
 FRANCO ON MARCH

Hendaye, French-Spanish From tier, May 18-(UP)-Three Nation alist armies intensified their drive on Valencia today by concentrating on the key town of Mora De Rubie- los 48 miles north of the former capital of the Mediterranean coast.
 The way for the new campaign was cleared with the capture of Corbalan, seven miles northeast of Teruel. Its fall. according to the Nationalists, ended Loyalist resis- tapce on the western flank of a 98.mile front extending inland from tho coast.
 The Nationalists asserted that the capture of Corbalan gave them complete possession of the highway running from Teruel to the coast for distance of more than 65 miles to Villafranca Del Sid. 29 miles in- land. Another Nationalist column operating east of the forces which took Corbalan moved south toward Mora De Rubielos along the road to Cabra De Mora. Farther east another Nationalist column drove beyond Valdelinares and Mosque rela toward Mora De Rubielos.

corn replied. Draw your own con- been occupied.
 When queried this morning with respect to the reason for opening of the office, Special Prosecutor AL corn replied, "Ddaw your own con- clusions."
 Conclusions drawn by spectators were that the prosecutor intends to work at these offices while the jury is in recess. There is possibility that after the jury reports it will recess for considerable time before coming back to investigate the last election While the jury is in recess, it is believed MT. Alcorn and his staff will work at the Elton offices. I No Assurance Given MT. Acorn indicated as he en- tered the building today that there would be no action until later. He gave no positive assurance of this however.
 Hardly had he gone to the jury room when he came back down the stairs and directly into the office of Judge Inglis where he remained more than 15 minutes. When he emerged he went back to the jury room, obtained the very mysterious package of papers, and returned to the judges office, and remained but a few moments.
 Third Conference The third conference of the morn ing between Judge Inglis and MT. Alcorn caused the postponement of a civil action which was slated to go to trial. Judge Inglis asked the attorneys in the civil action to con- fer for awhile on their case, as, he said, T have more important busi- ness at hand"
 This was at 11:05. MT. Alcorn was then closeted with Judge Inglis l for almost an hour. When this con- ference was over no statements were being made.
 State Police In View
 Reports were current this morn ing that state police troopers had been assigned to MT. Alcorn, pre- sumably for the purpose of serving bench warrants for the arrest of those named by the jury. Officials of the Hartford and Beacon Falls

barracks denied that this was so. MT. Alcorn also denied that state police would be called to guard his new office in The Elton. My force is capable of that" he said.
 Whether state police will be called to serve the numerous bench war; rants remains question which can only be answered by MT. Alcorn. It seems logical that when the jury re- ports (possibly Friday) and the war rants are issued, Detectives Hickey and Greer will need some assistance in their service.
 Members of the Alcorn staff were reported to have been in Waterbury last night. They were also present at the courthouse for considerable time.
 Missing Witnesses
 No further information pertaining to the six missing witnesses was available today, and it was under stood that they will be sought by bench warrant after the report is filed. Late this morning Detectives George L. Greer and John Sponzo brought five boxes of unidentified records to the jury room. Where they came from could not be ascer- tained.
 Unless the jury reports tomorrow and the bench warrants are issued, the jury will spend more time on its report, with the possibility that the climax will be registered Friday morning.

BLAKESLEE ASKS
 RETURN OF TAXES

Hartford, Conn, May 18.-CUP)- Federal Judge Edwin s. Thomas to- day took under advisement an &C., tion by son of the late Lieutenant- Governor Dennis A. BlakeSlee to re- cover $83,000 in government taxes.
 The taxes were paid in 1883 on a judgment obtained by the govern ment after Blakeslee's death. The government asserted the former state official transferred most of his estate, four years before his death, to his sons, in the form of trust.
 M. Grant Blakeslee, the son, ex- hibited amateur moving pictures of his father taken from 1930 to 1882 to bolster his claim the elder Blakeslee was active until he died and did not transfer the estate in contemplation of death.
 Blakeslee was lieutenant-governor from 1911 to 1913.
