BUTTON SHOP REDUCES WAGES
General Cut to Become Ef- fective in South Main
 Street Plant

Pay cut of employees of the Water bury Button company, said to ap- proximate 10 per cell was reported today from a reliable source. H. w Baer, superintendent of the com pany, was not available, however for confirmation or comment on the matter.
 There is an estimated $50 en- ploye. at the plant and, SO far as could be learned, the GU is general.
 This follows corresponding cuts by various of the large manufacturing plants in Waterbury within the last ten days. Announcements of the first cuts were issued. the last of March and some took effect the fol- lowing week.
 The officials of companies making the pay reductions announced at the time that the business recession of the last quarter of 1897 and the first quarter of this year has been increasingly severe. The condition of the brass industry has been im- paired seriously, it was reported, and the necessity for the cuts was explained as the effort of companies to keep as many as possible en- ployed during the present crisis.

LEGAL MOVE FAILS
 IN CRIMINAL CASE
Defense Lawyers Sought to Know Who State Ac-
 cused of Manslaughter

Efforts expended by defense coun- sel in the cases of Mary DeVito and Josephine Lippke of this city, who are charged with manslaughter in connection with the death of Mrs. Frances Laffey, to have States At torney Lawrence L. Lewis specifical- ly set forth which of the women actually performed the fatal illegal operation were in vain.
 Judge Ernest A. Inglis in superior court today handed down a decision stating that it was not necessary for MT. Lewis to comply with this re- quest as made by Attorneys John Cassidy and Fred Bauby.
 The women have not as yet been put to plea on the charges. These preliminaries have delayed their ar raignment. The motion as presented to the court yesterday by Attorney Cassidy sought the following infor- nation:
 1.-The criminal act which the state claims the accused committed which constitutes the crime of man. slaughter"
 In his decision today Judge Inglis finds that this request has been complied with by information filed yesterday by Assistant States Attor- ney William B. Fitzgerald.
 The real question, in which Judge Inglis rules against the defense counsel is contained in the second portion of the motion, which is as follows:
 "2-If the state claims that one of the accused was the actor or prin- cipal and the other the accomplice so-called, that the accused be in formed as to which is the actor or principal and which the accmoplice, and what acts the principal com- mitted which made her the princi- pal in the commission of the crime of manslaughter and what acts the accomplice so-called commit t e d which made her the accomplice in the commission of the crime of manslaughter."
 Attorney Cassidy argued yesterday that both the accused could not have performed the operation. Assistant States Attorney Fitzgerald con- tended that an accomplice who aids and abets a crime is equally as guilty as the principal.
 It is expected that the women will be arraigned in court on Tuesday to plead to the charges.
