Mrs. Lippke Given Jail
 Sentence Of One Year
Judge Inglis Disagrees With Attorney Cassidy on
 SOciety's Alleged Tolerance Altitude on AbOrtions

With the commentary that his views of illegal operations differed greatly from those of Defense At torney John H. Cassidy, Judge Ernest A. Inglis in Superior Court today sentenced Mrs. Josephine Lippke, 48, of 27 High street to serve one year in the county jail. The woman pleaded guilty to a charge of manslaughter, arising from the death of Mrs. Frances Laffey, as result of an illegal op- eration.
 A companion of Mrs. Lippke, Mrs. Mary DeVito, was sentenced to one year in jail two weeks ago, when she was found guilty, after trial on similar charge. Asks Sentence
 Assistant States Attorney Will liam B. Fitzgerald moved for the one year sentence after the woman had pleaded guilty, and after he had read prepared statement of facts relative to the case. Attorney Cassidy objected to the one year sentence, and sought of the judge to impose a suspended sentence and a fine.
 Mrs. Lippke did not perform the operation" said Cassidy. He ad- mitted that she was an accessory after the fact.
 Tn any event." said the defense counsel, such an act is looked upon lightly by society. It is looked upon by society as humanitarian act"
 "Everybody's Doing It"
 "Everybody's doing it," he con- tinued, land what everybody is doing cannot be wrong in the eyes of society,"" He then went into a description of the attempts to pass legislature in Connecticut which would legalize birth control, point ing out that such legislature had been passed in other states.

ary, now on regular duty; Vitarelli, two years as Supernumerary.
 One Ballot
 After the candidates had been eX- amined Commissioner Minor moved that the board ballot on the ap- pointments. All 9 of the applicants were then named unanimously by the board.
 Mayor Hayes ordered the men to report at once to Supt. Roach.
 Commissioner Minor told the ap- pointees that the board expected each one of them to do his duty. The board, he said, had placed trust in each one of them by naming him as a regular policeman, and he hoped they would jutify that trust.
 The board adjourned immediately. As can be seen from their records, all the men named have experience as policemen. Most of them have worked on regular beats, some of them for years.
 Virtually all the new patrolmen, it is believed, will be assigned to Platoon c, which is on duty from II D. m. to a. m. Patrolmen Grady and Walsh, now on motor patrol duty, will probably be reassigned to that bureau, while one or two others may also be assigned to prowl car duty.

American Gives Wrong Slant on Welfare Dept.
 Expenditures

Correction of report in The Wa terbury American yesterday concern ing expenditures of the welfare de- partment this year was made by Controller Sherwood L. Rowland in The Republican today with the statement that the 43 per cent of appropriations for the department did not represent the first-quarter expenditures, as The American re- ported, but more than 43 per cent for the first four months" or one third of the year.
 MT. Rowland explained that this was mo discredit" on the welfare department and did not go into the employment and relief situation which has proved heavy drain during the months of 1888. He brought the matter to the attention of the board of finance Saturday in line with what he termed "a pol icy" to let the board know when financial crises arise."
 Appropriations for welfare amount to $367,4 and the controller re- ported that $158, ,122 of this has been expended, failing to note that the winter months present the heaviest drain on the department and that March is the peak of the year, by report of the welfare department. The welfare costs are usually ab- sorbed in considerable degree dur ing the summer months by WPA work to which relief recipients have priority claim.

The number of cars inspected at testing lanes of the state motor ve- hicle department since the spring inspection period began is far be- hind last year, according to a re- lease today by Commissioner Mich ael A.

 Judge Inglis said that in the case of Mrs. DeVito, who was the com- panion of today's accused, he had experienced some doubt as to whether she was the principal or accessory in the abortion. He said he gave Mrs. DeVito the benefit of the doubt, and that he would do the same for Mrs. Lippke, and im- pose a similar sentence, as recom- mended by MT. Fitzgerald.
