 Available evidence indicates that the possible group in children of group o parents is and in children of o and B parents are o and B." Bundesen said. "Either man may be the father of one or both of the babies" He said the possibility that the twins were of different fathers was based on the theory of super fecundation (mixed paternity of twins) which, if true, would give both men right to their claims. There are, however," he said, mot more than half a dozen cases of experimentation on record and none has been proved definitely. Most medical authorities agree that 1t is theoretically possible and does sometimes occur"
 Ersing and Timoteo were very proud of the babies, and each in- sisted on visiting them at the hos pital. They are unemployed. Both are married and both said they did not know where their wives were. Since they have not obtained legal separations, neither can marry the mother of the twins. The babies were suffering from malnutrition when they were taken from Ersing's home Tuesday. Each weighed about four pounds and was below normal in temperature. Their conditions were reported to be improving to- day. They don't look alike," Bunde- sen said. which supports the pos- sibility that they may have different fathers, but these men won't listen to that"

ward Mascolo. who had disquali- fled himself.
 Sergeant Santoro testified that he went to Canal street when Var< leSe, Bowling and Miss Connolly claimed that Salinardi and Zas- taury had struck the other two men. The three complainants, he said, caused such a disturbance in the street that they were arrested also. Salinardi and Zastaury, he said, caused no trouble at the time of the arrests.
 The only other state witness was Bowling, one of the accused, who took the stand and testified de- spite objections to the court by his counsel, Attorney Joseph Guilfoile. Bowling said that while he was sit- ting in Canal street restaurant, Salinardi struck him in the face. A fight ensued, he said, and was continued on the street outside. Bowling said he made no complaint to the police.
 Atotrney John Tobin, counsel for Salinardi and Zastaury, asked Sal- inardi only one question on the stand: Did you have any trouble with Bowling on the night in ques- tion."
 Salinardi's answer was an em- phatic "No". Zastaury testified Simi- larly.
 In deciding the cases, Judge McDonough said: "The burden rests on the state to prove that Salin- ardi and zastaury did make a breach of the peace. The only evi- dence to this effect presented by the state has been contradicted. The staet, therefore, has not proven it's point and Salinardi and Zastaury may be charged"
 The girl, he said, was not seri- ously involved, but Varlese and Bowling, from the police testimony, had broken the peace, and he fined each of them $5 and costs.
