Attorney DelUey Is
 Stunned By Ruling

chance .. of the Hines trial VIII be difieuit for tho layman to un- derstand, let alone excuse. We are equally at c loss to understand why Justice pecora, even if cone Vinced as to the rightness of his view , ended the trial, The case for the state was completed there must inevitably be wide- spread regret that Justice Pecora could see his way to let the trial proceed, with instructions to the jury to disregard the question ob- jected to. ... :"
 The New York Times concluded editorialiy that Justice Pecora has made . profound mistake Of judg- nent."
 "True, technicalities exist in the law in order to protect the rights of the accused. But In the present case, there was an alterna- tive course which Justice pecora could reasonably and properly have followed. Instead of declaring e mbtriai he could have instructed the jury to ignore the line of ques- tloning. And he could then have permitted the higher courts to pass upon the question. ."
 Disposition of Witnesses
 Dewcys immediate problem was the disposition of his witnesses, many of whom have been held in protective custody Since tho trial started. The three stars" George Weinberg, J. Richard (Dlxie) DaVlB and Harry 9choenhaus, ranking survivors of the Schultz mob, have all pleaded guilty to the conspiracy and await sentence. Dewey has kept them at 6 hideaway on Long Island, fearing that gangsteF vsns geanee would reach them in jail and they might not live to testify. 1t was reported that their sentences would Do deferred and they would remain In protective custody until the Hines case is disposed of.
 The effect of the mistriai on Deweyb gubernatoriai candidacy was debated. Democrats believed that he had suffered severe loss h prestige, but Republicans argued that the mistriai made him a more likely candidate, since he had dee veloped the evidence against Hines to the point where . successor could present it eaAiiy, and had demonstrated that hs was ready to wage his clean.up campaign on a statewide scale.
 Pecora 10 Preeminent
 The decision made the b6.year- old, Italian born Justice Pecofa . preeminent figure. There was 6 co. incidence in his mistflai verdict, based on Dewey's question about the poultry racket, because during the i2 years when he was assistant diss tFict attorney here, he won his first

 Hines Cheered by Crowd

to date rom then,
 Hines Cheered by Crowd
 Hines remained free under s20,000 bond. He walked from court into the midst of Q cheering crowd Of 5000 in the street, who pAtted him, shook his hand and tried to hoist him to their shoulders in the man. ner of c hero. The same crowd, few minutes later, gave Dewey noisy boos and hisses as he walked toward his automobile.
 There was an hilarious celebra. ton ct Hines political club-the Monongahela-where he is known as "boss" anG where his portrait hangs over the fireplace. It cons tinued most of the night, with many of the hangers-on apparently un. der the false impression that Hines had been acquitted.
 Another joyous outburst was wlt- messed at the Hotel Qrogvenor when the jurors broke from c months confinement smashed their now out-of-seasoi straw hats, sang Aud Lang syne and dashed for the bar.
 May Ask Venue Change
 It was believed that Stryker would remand c change of venue, arguing that no person of average intelligence in the city had failed to read and be swayed by voiumin. ous newspaper accounts of the trial, and that the request might Dc granted. He made the request bee fore the first trial, asking that it Do held not less than 100 miles from the city, but it was refused.
 The technicaiity on which the trial was halted was that Dewey had prejudiced the jurors minds irreparabiy when he asked c de. fense witness Saturday whether the runaway grand jury of May, i036, had not investigated Hines in cone nection with the poultry racket.
 stryker was on his feet, demand ing the mistriai, before the witness could answer but Judge Pecora ruled that the mere question, rais- Ing Q matter with which Hines had not been charged, was sufticient to nuilify the whole case.
