I is reasonably necessary to prepare and present thoroughly every phase of the case-step by step.
 By doing this we'll save time and there will be less chance of 8 reversal and new trial order" Supreme Court In View Hint that the trials would reach the Supreme Court of this state and the Supreme Court of the land was contained in the statements by the judge. Such hint was also con- tained in remarks addressed to the court by Attorney Murray when he said that questions of constitutions al law-State and federal-are in- volved." Judge Inglis continued in his statement:
 "On the other hand I think the court is entitled to expect counse. will proceed with as much prompt. ness as possible. It is incumbent or counsel to give the matter tht right of way over everything elst in their practice. They owe it to the court to proceed with as much speed as possible"
 Judge Inglis then asked that counsel indicate the length of time they might need to present motions or demurrers-which will be neces- sary before the actual trial. Attorneys Heaiey, Murray
 Attorney Patrick Healey, who said he is counsel for five of the de- fendants, asked that the court ap- prove his association with Attorney Murray, who is a member of the New York bar. Attorney Healey is president of the Waterbury Bal association.
 Attorney Murray explained to the court that he is a native of Wa terbury, but that this was his first appearance in a Connecticut court He said that he had looked over the information which he de- scr1bed as some 30 pages describ- ing overt acts committed over long period-perhaps eight years" Question of Law
 Continuing, he said, There are great questions of law raised-great questions of procedure-and other things which I have noticed in my cursory examination of the war.

DICNITARIES AT
 EUCHARISTTC EVENT

Budapest, May 24-(UP)-Nearly 1000 pilgrims from the United States. headed by Cardinal Dough- erty, archbishop of Philadelphia who presided at the Eucharistic Congress in Manila, and Archbishop John Glennon of St. Louis, arrived here today to attend the Eucharistic Con- gress.
 On the eve of the formal opening of the Congress, Cardinal Pacelli, papal legate, gave a reception. Re- plying to speeches of welcome. he said the Eucharist idea united all the nations of the world in the great Catholic Church"
 He urged those present to follow the truth in Christ, which I regret to say some consider scandalous and foolish-which many reject as an insult and which this century's de- generated and nebulous science con- siders has been overcome and van- quished by the mentality and civili- ration of our times"
 He conveyed the benediction of the Pope on the assembly.

Alcorn, Judge Inglis suggested that perhaps counsel could file motions and demurrers at the same time. At torney Slade said that he did moi believe this could be done in con- pliance with the rules of practice.
 Attorney Robinson
 Attorney Thomas Robinson oi New Haven then made his first ap- pearance before the bench to in. form Judge Inglis that he was coun- sel for Attorney Charles E. Will Hanson of Darien.
 With no further ado, Judge h. glis then set June 2l as the final date for filing motions, stating that on that day he will assign another day for arguments on those motions. MT. Alcorn said he would be ready June 24 if the Judge saw fit to name that day, but Judge Inglis preferred to hold the matter in abeyance.
 Bail was continued in each case as set on the night the bench war rants were issued.
 No Disturbances
 No disturbances, aside from the vociferous boo-ing, were caused by the thousands of spectators who crowded the courthouse and lined the sidewalks and overflowed into the streets of Leavenworth and Kendrick court.
 A special detachment of police, headed by Sergeants Joseph Mo- Evoy and Patrick Foley, and in- cluding Patrolmen Joseph German, John Donahue, John Meaney and Patrick Joyce were not needed.
 Timothy Horgan, superintendent of the City Hall was the first of the defendants to arrive, and he was accompanied by his counsel, Attor- ney John F. McDonough.
 New York Auditors
 Next to arrive were the New York auditors, George H. Kingsley, Will liam Murray and John Meaney, who immediately posted surety bonds of $10,000 bonds.
 Before the auditors had cleared the doors, car owned by and driven by a uniformed chauffeur, and bear ing Mayor Hayes and Attorney Mur- ray slid into a stop in front of the courthouse. Attorney Charles Will liamson arrived shortly thereafter.
 Then in order the defendants. Frank Burns, Charles OConnor, Thomas Fleming, Harry Mackenzie, Thomas Kelly, Daniel J. Leary, Hem " w. Minor, Donate Pietroria. John c. Purdie, John H. Crary, Thomas Shanahan, Michael Slavin, Martin J. Dunn, John S. Johnston arrived.
 Purdie was nonchalant as he en- tered, saying, Hello, boys," to a large group of reporters and photo graphers who greeted him.
 Purdie Was Sought
 Purdie was sought as a witness early in April, and was proclaimed as missing witness. Today he claimed he had sat in his office, 25 Beaver street, New York, almost daily until March 29 when he was called to Tennessee by Senator Bridges, to investigate the IVA.
 He said that at no time did he evade service and that at no time did he come to Waterbury, until today. It was reported that he had come to Waterbury on the day he was first subpoenaed and then left without going before the jury.
 Purdie was waiting for a bonds- man at late hour today. He must post $10,000 for his release. John s. Johnston of New York must post $25,000 bond and he was also mak- ing necessary arrangements at a late hour.

customs of reading his Bible

no danger, undressed, went to
sleep, having placed his clothes
where he had always been ac-

feeling he had no enemies CD
safely and confidently trusted
himself in the arms Of sweet
Morpheus. But on the morrow,
Monday, he was surprised to find
his every dollar, his watch and
maybe a few other belongings
ha been confiscated. The Divine

east bound passenger train of
the N. & w. railway.
He low sheds tears because
he didn't keep his first thoughts.
No trace of money OF watch has
been discovered, despite the
fact that each police officer has
made m e real searching in
vestigation.
The Reverend's trip, temper

Scottsbofo> Boys
Death Set For Aug. 10

Montgomery, Ala, June 20
(CNA).-Clarence Norris, one
OF the nine innocent Scottsboro
boys, for the second time in the
past three years faces death in
n e Alabama electric chair, if
the murder verdict handed down
against him last Thursday is not
halted within the next 60 days.
I NJ Alabama state supreme
court last week affirmed the
death sentence imposed on
young Norris in Decatur, Ala,
in July, 1887, and ordered his
eXection for August 10. The
Court refused the plea for a new
trial, holding that t h e record
dlscloses no reversible errors and
the judgement of the trial court
must be affirmed"
Norris was the first to be tried
In the series of Scottsboro trials
and was convicted on the same
evidence upon which four of the
nine Scottsboro boys were un-
conditionally released. Two of
the others tried at that m e
time, Andy Wright and Charlie
Weems were given sentences of
80 and rs years respectively on
the same lie-ridden testimony of
Victoria Price, who maintained
all of the boys were equally
guilty of having attacked her.
In freeing four of the boys,
Glen Montgomery, Willie Reber-
son, Roy Wright and Eugene
Williams, Alabama authorities
admitted that Victoria Prices
testimony and Identification were
mistaken" 1t was the same
testimony which was used to
sentenc eNorris to the electric
chair.

possible to put a pencil on any
! large country in the world to-
day withot coming across some
problem of racial or political
,minorities. In all of the problems
he said, there is the matter of
income, the question Of national
ideals in theattempt at imperial
,expansion, religion and race.
Five particular cases were cited
by the speaker in the course of
his discussion: the Irish in Great
Britain, tn e Jews in Germany
the Germans in CzechO- Slovakia,
the English in India, and the
Dutch in South Africa.
The problems of the Irish he
described as beig chiefly owner
ship of land, rent and some diff
ferences in religion. He told of
the aminine cosed by the failure
of the potato crop in 1845, and
mentioned the reduction in the
population from eight and one
half millions to six million in a
decade and the resulting migra-
tion to the United States. The
Irish Free Safe of today, said DR..
Dubois has emerged from the
fight for political rights, with
the restoration of land to the
people, and the starting of the
distinctly Irish culture.
Speaking about the j ew in
Germany, DR.. Dubois ! said,
These people @sss sexateds Ia
Ghettos, became merchants &
usurers because they couldn' I
enter into other occupations.
In the 18th century, under
Moses Mendelssohn, there was a
great and successful movement
towards the Jews aligning them
selves with tn e surrounding
culture. But after the Francoi
Prussian war, continued the
speaker, the Jews, as represent
atiyes of capital and also of
socialism, came in for a great
deal of hatred. The result of
this was an anti-semitic move
ment which consummated after
the World War in tn e govern
meht Of Hitler. "
According to- DIR. Dubois, the
Germans in Czecho-Slovakia,
are not oppressed but representa-
tive OF German expansion as OPP
posed to the Slavs. The Slavic
state, DR.. Dubois reminded his
audience, is in the way of
Hitler's eastern expansion.
In speaking of the English in
India, the speaker stated that
the English domination in this
country began with theft, and
led to the EXPEDITION of labor
and imperial rule. AS a result,
he said, the wages of the average
Indian today are less than $25
year. There have been plaques
and famines in this country, and
determined movement to unite
the Indians separated by reli-
gion and caste into nation de-
mandig independence.
The discovery of gold and
diamonds in South Africa, said
DIR. Dubois, changed the pattern
of the Dutch pioneer farmer in
to that of the English investor
,evploiters. The result of this
has not only been a bitter econo-
mic clash between black and
white, but a cultural and TBdial
freud betwe EN- the Dutch and The
l;Ehglish, ahd,da part of the
DHtch have degenerated intora
large number of poor whites.
I Following the lecture, the
meeting was opened for ques-
tions from the floor.
