taken in that measure until MT Alcorn returns.
 Meanwhile the investigation will be under the direction of his son and Attorney Mitchell.
 Took But Little Time
 Three minutes of court procedure were all that were necessary for the acceptance by Judge Ernest A. Inglis of disqualifications by States Attorney Lewis, and his assistants, MT. Fitzgerald and MT. filling. Also packed into these three eventful minutes were the appointments of the two Alcorns and Attorney Mitch- ell to- direct the investigation.
 Judge Inglis Arrives
 Shortly before o'clock Judge Inglis arrived at the courthouse, which was the center of much in- terest at that time. Crowds milled about on the outside of the build ing, standing on the corner of Ken drick avenue, and also lining up on Leavenworth street. Inside the building attorneys and others talked i1l low voices which indicated an air of anticipation of what dramatic proceedings were to transpire.
 Old Football Player
 Judge Inglis rode to the second floor of the court house, where is located the superior court chambers, accompanied by neWsmen and At torney Frederick c. Bauby, with whom he chatted about former days of football playing, stating that he at one time had taken active par ticipation in the game.
 COnfers With Judge McEvoy
 He immediately made his way to the office of the presiding judge, and there for more than Is minutes conferred with Judge Frank P. Mc- Evoy, States Attorney Lewis and Assistant States Attorney Fitzgerald.
 All was tensity in the court room during this interim. But suddenly the buzz of voices hushed as MT. Lewis emerged from the judges of- flee and walked to the place custo- mary taken by attorneys in address ing the court.
 Judge Inglis Takes Bench
 It was at this time that Judge Inglis strode briskly from Judge Mo Evoy's office and took his place on the bench.
 In addressing the court on his dis qualification from he case, Mrt. Lewis stated that the court was &C., quainted with the statement which had been prepared by him, and stat ed that he did not feel it necessary to take the courts time by reading it.
 Judge Inglis responded that he n- dersood is validiy. He hereupon granted the motion for disqualifica- tion.
 Next, Alcorn Appointment
 Almost in the same breath he stated, And I will appoint Hugh M. Alcorn as special prosecutor and his assistants will be Harold E. Mitchell and Hugh M. Alcorn, Jr."
 Court was then adjourned until Tuesday. It took considerable time to clear the courtroom, however, for the spectators, comprised largely in the majority of members of the Wa terbury Bar association, gathered in groups of twos and three to discuss the most exciting court procedure in the history of Waterbury-the start of a situation unprecedented in the state history.
 Hickey, Greer Get Busy
 Following the statement by Judge Inglis, County Detective Edward J. Hickey of Hartford and George L. Greer of Suffield, special inveStiga- tor from Hickey's office, arose from the rear of the courtroom where they had been inconspicuously seat ed and moved to the office of States Attorney Lewis, where they con- ferred with him, MT. Fitzgerald and County Detective Roland G. filling of this city.
 Later the Hartford investigators also conferred with Judge McEvoy; leaving the courthouse shortly be- fore o'clock to return to Hartford. They were expected to be in Water bury every day next week, however, to open the investigation as assist ants to the three special prosecutors named.
 Hickey Is Silent
 MT. Hickey .s1used to state as to any intent on the part of his office, in line with the investigation. Queried as to his knowledge with regard to MT. Alcorn's plans, he also was on-committal. He did state, however, that it would be impossible to reach the elder MT. Alcorn for "a few days" because of a vacation planned by MT. Alcorn. MT. Hickey said MT. Alcorn left yesterday to start his vacation, but declined to state where the vacation would take him to.
