Mackenzie, Levy Will Not Be Sentenced Now
They Pleaded Guilty Yesterday to Charges It Is Be- lieved Court Will Delay Penalties Until
 Close of Trials

Harry E. Mackenzie, 54, of Bethel and Attorney Edward G. Levy of New Haven, who yesterday pleaded guilty to charges of participation in the alleged local million dollar con- Spiracy, are not expected to be sen- fenced until the trial of the remain ing g defendants is concluded.
 The roster of defendants has been diminished from 27 to g by the ab- sence of Enoch Borgnaes, the guilty pleas of Levy and Mackenzie and the nolo contendere plea of Timothy Morgan, who is charged only with participation in the burning of the city records.
 Twenty-Two Face Jury
 Twenty-two of the g will be tried by the jury, since Attorney Charles Williamson of Darien yesterday re- tracted his previous request for jury trial and transferred to court trial. All these surprise acts were with the sanction of Special Prosecutor Hugh M. Alcorn.
 With the number of defendants to be tried by the jury diminished. the number of jury challenges available to state and defense reduces accord- ingly. When 25 were to have been tried by jury there were 200 chal- lenges available to each side. Under the present circumstances only 176 will be given each, for total of S52.
 No Action Taken
 After Mackenzie and Levy had pleaded guilty yesterday and Hor- gan had pleaded nol0 contendere, no action was taken toward imposing sentence. It is understood that no action will be taken until the end of the trial.
 It is presumed, however, that all three will be witnesses at the trial. Pending the completion of the selec- ton of jury they have been excused Williamson, who will be tried by the

Sidelights Of Famous Trial

Mrs. Anna Hayes of Wallingford, another woman juror who was ab- sent when the roll was called yes- terday, was reported seriously i'll at her home today by Chief Deputy Sheriff Dan Callahan.

 Mayor Frank Hayes and As- sessor John H. Crary were the first of the defendants to enter the courtroom this morning. They took seats along the north side of the room and remained there.
 John c. Purdie detective" conn mented concerning the selection of the jury. ''You might as well all go home until they pick the jury what a job it's going to be." He smiled as he continued, 'The rest of the boys picked hard seats, but I'm all set, I've got . soft one"
 Most of the seats set aside for spectators were vacant at the af- ternoon session of court yesterday. Spectators had not been allowed in during the morning, since all available space was needed to &C., commodate the prospective jurors.
