 Over -ExertiOn Cause
 Less than year ago, while pay ing tribute to the late Majority Leader Joseph T. Robinson, follow ing his death, Copeland had warned his colleagues against over-eXertion lest there be more deaths among them. Exactly II months later his death was attributed largely to dis regard of his own warning.

SAYS HE
 GAVE HIM OATH
Acorn Sworn in March l After Regular Court
 Session

Clerk George H. Freeman of Wa terbury superior court said today that he administered the proper oath of special states attorney to Hugh M. Alcorn in superior court on March 1. The grand jury was impaneled one week later, March g.
 MT. Freeman said that MT. Alcorn was sworn in immediately after court session. Miss Elizabeth M. Judd, clerk in MT. Freeman's office, said she has recorded the procedure on the official court books.
 In the quo warranto writ filed yesterday by counsel for Thomas F. Kelly, it is alleged that MT. Alcorn was not duly sworn in as special states attorney.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-06-18

Kelly, executive secretary to Mayor Frank Hayes, is one ot the 26 under arrest on charges of conspiracy to defraud the city of Waterbury. The order is known in legal terms as a quo warranto writ.
 Must Answer Tuesday
 Special Prosecutor Alcorn must answer to the writ by Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. The writ was obtained at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon by Attorney Thomas F. McDonough of New Britain, coun- sel for MT. Kelly. Inasmuch as the quo warranto writ involves consti- tutional rights, there is possibility that this single issue may be ar gued in the supreme court. Wil- liam B. Fitzgerald, states attorney for this district, was required to sign the writ, but this action was purely technical and he will take no further part.
 The writ, two and one half pages in length states that on May 19 MT. Kelly was a free man and a resi- dent of Waterbury for many years past. It continues that on that date Hugh M. Alcorn of Suffield, Hartford county, representing him. self as special states attorney for New Haven county at Waterbury filed with the superior court here an information accusing Kelly and others of criminal conspiracy and requesting the court to issue bench warrants for the arrest of Kelly and 26 others.
 Complied With Request
 It is stated in the writ that the court compiled with Alcorn's re- ouest-that Kelly has been ar- rested-and that he is still held to respond to the warrants informa- tion.
 The quo warranto charges that Alcorn has no right to be special states attorney in the local inves- tigation because he Is not a resi- dent of New Haven County.
 The other reason is that there Is no authority for the appoint

ELIOT CABOT DIES
 RESULT OF FALL

New York, June 18.-(UP)-Eliot Cabot, 3s-year old legitimate stage actor and member of a prominent Boston family. died at Morrissanla hospital, the Bronx, yesterday where he had been taken last Monday after falling from an 18-foot wall of the Croton Aqueduct.
 Hospital officials said that imme- diate cause of death was pneu- monia. Cabot suffered a fracture of the spine in the fall which par alyzed the lower part of his body. Circumstances surrounding the &C., cident were not determined.
 Cabot had his first stage experi- ence at Harvard university where he took part in the affairs of the Nasty Pudding club. He later studied at Cambridge university, England, and returned to New York where he played in several suc- cesses, notably "Six Characters in Search of an Author" "Sun-Up", and "The Great Gatsby."
 He appeared in numerous Theater Guild productions, among them "A Month in the Country" "Pygmal- ion," and Major Barbara"

A date for the arguments on the motions will be set by Judge Inglis on Tuesday morning. At that time the fourteen attorneys who thus far have filed appearances for the var- ious defendants will appear in court, but 1t will not be necessary for the defendants to appear.
 No Appearances Filed
 Carl D. Olsen, Charles E. William son of Darien; John G. Purdie of New York and Martin J. Dunn, for mer purchasing agent are the only defendants whose counsel have not filed appearances. It is understood unofficialy, however, that MT. Dunn has engaged counsel.
 Enoch E. Borgnaes of Hollis, Long Island has not as yet surrendered to arrest and is being sought by the aides of Alcorn, assisted by federal men.
 Motions Kept Secret
 Defense counsel have been very secretive as to the contents of the motions which they will file simul- taneously Tuesday morning. It is D0ICVCu, uOWcNcT, GIldk tllc pIOCCQuIe of the jury's investigations will be attacked, motions will be made for release of the jury's minutes to de- fellse counsel, and there will be var ioals demurrers to the complaints as set up by Special Prosecutor Alcorn In the bench warrant.
 A council of counsel has been or ganized among the defendants. Sev- eral~ meetings of this council have been conducted for the purpose of outlining plans for procedure in de- lending the numerous accused.
 It is reliably reported, however, that counsel for Attorney Edward c. Levy of New Haven; Harry E. Mackenzie of Bethel; and Charles E. Williamson of Darien have re- fused to join the council. William son originally retained Attorney Thomas Robinson of New Haven for his defense, but a short time ago the latter was given permission by Judge Inglis to withdraw. No substitution

Quo Warranto" - by what au- thority? The following is the com plete text of the application as filed by States Attorney Will liam B. Fitzgerald for Attorney Thomas F. McDonough of New Bri- tain, counsel to Thomas P. Kelly Judge Inglis' order calling upon Special Prosecutor Alcorn to prove his right of prosecution, is appended TO THE HONORABLE SUPERIOR
 COURT, NOW IN SESSION
 AT WATERBURY, IN AND
 FOR NEW HAVEN COUNTY:
 Comes WILLIAM B. FITZGER- AID, ESQUIRE, States Attorney within, and for the County of New Haven, who in this behalf prose- cutes in his own proper person and at the relation of THOMAS F. KELLY, of Waterbury, and gives the Court to understand and be informed that:
 l. On May 19. 1888, the said Kelly was freeman of the City of Waterbury and had been such freeman; and resident for many years prior thereto.
 2. On said 18th day of May, 1888, one Hugh M. Alcorn, of Suffield, in the County of Hart ford, representing himself as special Attorney for the State of Connecticut, filed with the Super for Court for New Haven County at Waterbury an Information &C., cusing the said Kelly al,d others of criminal conspiracy and re- quested said Court to issue a Bench Warrant for the arrest of the said Kelly.
 3. Thereup0n said Superior Court issued such Bench War rant and the said Kelly was ar- rested and is still held to respond to said information.
 4. The said Hugh M. Alcorn was not duly authorized to act as such Special Attorney for the State of Connecticut because:
 FIRST. he is not 8 resident of of New Haven County;
 SECOND, there is no authority for the appointment of such Spc- cial Attorney except that confer red by Section 5367 of the Re- vised Statutes as amended by Section 829d of the Cumulative Supplement of 1887.
 5. Said statutory authority is confil;ed to causes pending before the Superior Court wherein the State is 8 party and there was no such cause pending at the time of the so-called appointment of said Hugh M. Alcorn as such Spe- cial Attorney.
 6. Said statutory authority is

ment of such special attorney ex- cept that conferred by section 5367 of the revised statutes as amended by section 829d of the cumulative supplement of 1887. This latter, according to the writ, is confined to instances wherein the state is a party and there was no such cause pending at the time of the so- called appointment of Alcorn.
 Confined To Causes
 The writ also alleges that the statutory authority is confined to causes wherein the states attorney and his assistants are disqualified and such was not the case at the time of Alcorns appointment.
 Another high important issue in- cluded in the writ is the claim that prior to the filing of the in formation against Kelly, Attorney Alcorn had not taken the oath re- quired by section 10 of the consti- tuition of the State of Connecticut.
 Judge Ernest A. Inglis ordered Clerk George H. Freeman of Su- perior court to sign the order. It is demand on MT. Alcorn to show cause, if he has any, why he usurpS and by what warrant he claims to have, use. and enjoy the office as states attorney. Service of the or der must be made on MT. Alcorn at his Suffield home on or before Monday.
 Definite Surprise
 The move by MT. Kelly's lawyer came as a definite surprise yester- day. There had been no expecta-

 Berlin, June Is. (UP) - (Tired, frightened Jews stole back to their homes today after another night of plod- ding the streets while their homes were entered, many of their fellow men arrested, and scores of Jewish shops marked with the "curse of non-Aryanization."
 Jews avoided their homes during, the night, fearful that Nazis-some in uniforms and others in civilian clothes would take them into custody if they could find them.
 Bands of Nazis royed the city, smashing the windows of Jewish- owned shops ard painting warnings on them that they must not be patroniZed.
 Spreads Through Reich
 The anti-Jewish wave spread to all corners of the third Reich. Re- ports from outlying districts indi- cated that several thousand Jews had been arrested. In Berlin alone 1t was estimated that more than 2,000 were carted to jail. It was in- dicated that the exact figure never would be available.
 Al fhncn leased after hours of questioning, but others were held for further in- vestigation. Still others, against whom there were particular charges, were taken to the Buchenwald pris- on camp near Weimar. or the Son. nenberg concentration camp in southern Thuringia.
 In many sections of Berlin Jews formed protective groups" the members of which telephoned each other several times a day in order to keep informed on who are arrested. Jewish business men telephoned their wives often to learn If all were safe at home.
