Continued Prom Page D turned his attention to the quo war ranto, MT. McDonough stated that he would like to have time to file a reply and then have the question set down for hearing.
 To this MT. Acorn replied, "Oh no, want it to be heard this morn- ing"
 Attorney McDonough then went into length with regard to the im- portance of the question not only to his client but also to the 27 de- fendants in the case to date. "In view Of the expected length of the trials from this issue, to ask 48 hours is not unreasonable" said Attorney McDonough.
 MT. Alcorn pointed out that under section 5920 Of the general statutes the judge could make final order in the issue. He pointed to the "tem- erity of counsel to attack the courts order"
 The crowded courtroom broke in- to laughter when MT. Alcorn refer red to the subtle compliment which Attoney McDopough had paid to him in indicating he would like to get rid of him.
 To this MT. McDonough replied that he had no desire to be rid of MT. Alcorn and could not--ss they are both Hartford county men.

ROBIN TO GET
 THROAT SWABBED

Schnectady, N. r., June 21-- (UP) Peep, . pet robin, is scheduled to receive a throat swabbing soon un- less he recoyers from g tep-day at- tack of hiccups.
 Peep is getting expert attention from pr. Dayton 6toner, state zo- ologist, but he continues to give 3 real "hic" occasionally. His owner, Mrs. J. W. Ham, says he improves some days and then suffers a re- lapse.
 The hiccuping started when Peep was permitted to go into the garden in search of his own food, He mis- took a caterpillar for a worm. His throat apparently became irritated.
 At first 1t was believed the hic- cuping resulted from 2 cocktail party Peep attended at a nearby home. He attended and perched on cocktail glass, Mrs. Ham said, but the glass was empty.

crowd of spectators filled the court room, however.
 Urging that the state be allowed to push the trials to a rapid con- clusion, Special Prosecutor Alcorn cried, T am not interested in technicalities. I am willing to brush them all aside to get to the merits of the case" He said that he would be ready to proceed with the argu- ments on the motions at 10 o'clock Friday morning.
 Immediately after court opened, Judge Inglis called attorneys in the case. Prior to that time they had conferred with him in his judicial chambers. Before that time they had conferred at the office Of AL torney John H. Cassidy.
 Waving of Rights
 Attorney Benjamin Slade of New Haven, counsel for the Kingsley auditors named in the jury's report, immediately brought up the ques- ton whether the defense counsel would waive any rights by filing all motions today. He said that he felt the preliminary motions should be disposed of first.
 To this Judge Inglis said that he did not want to force the &C., cused to waive any rights, but con- tinued that he desired the procedure to be as rapid as possible.

 Public school children were not given a holiday, and had to attend regular sessions, or graduation exer- ctges. Several parochial schools have ended their terms for the year, and their pupils were able to visit the grounds this morning and see the performance this afternoon.
 Police Superintendent William J. Roach assigned uniformed men to duty at the grounds and along the streets leading to it. Plainclothes- men were also on duty at the circus lot.

grand jurors and r. B. I. men worked on the case, supported the belief that the investigation was carried out with the approval of the ad- mipistration at Washington. The state department is not expected to protest to the German government, even though the indictments hand ed down here yesterday carry charges Of conspiracy against this goyerpmept.
 State department officials said that if those tried are found guilty they will be sentenced to prison un- der the civil jurisdiction of the fed- sral courts. In time of war. such offenders would be shot.
 Chief obstacle to any sweeping court procedure, however, was that all but four of those named in the true btlls, are not in this country, The four are under arrest here, but the others are all assumed to be in Germany.
 Yesteraday's special grand jury action, although one of the most potentially grave international de- velopments in American peace-time history, eliminated only the first phase of the investigation into a foreign espionage group which be- gan operating here about four years ago. Federal officials have not fin- ished the job, 1t was known, and the stiH-current inquiry Is expected to lead to equally important deyel- opuents before the trial is begun.
 Heading the list of the indicted were Captain -Lieutenants Udo yon Bopip and Hermann MepzeI, both in the espionage division of the Ger man war ministry.
 The others were:
 William Lonikoski, secret opera tive of the German government who was assigned to duty in the United States; he fled to Germany in l935.
 Dr. Ignatx T. Griebl, former Nazi party leader who developed good medical practice in New York; he escaped to Germany on the Mper Bremen after he was questioned by the grand jury.
 Guenther Gustave Rumrich, former U. S. army sergeant and the first of the ring arrested.
 Erich GIaser, former U. S. army private now held in $25,o00 bail.
 Werner George Guedenberg, German government secret service agent who worked as 2 mechanic in several airplane factories here and escaped several weeks ago to Germany.
 Johanna Hoffman, another of the defendants held in custody here; she was arrested aboard the Europa, where she was employed as . hairdresser.

asked about demurers. stating that he had received S.=ne for the file Attorney Slade here asked that nc order be passed for the filing of demurrers as 1t would not be prac- tical.
 Date for Hearings The question was then discussed as to the date for hearings on the pleas in abatement. After seeking the opinion of practically each ot the defense counsel Individually Judge InglB set Friday for the hearings.
 Attorney Cassidy asked that ip view of the abatement pleas rais- ing question of fact, that the state file an answer before Friday. This was agreed on.
 MT. Alcorn asked that all pleas in abatement be heard in group and said he would file his answers tomorrow. It is expected that argu- ments on these issues will require all of Friday. If, however, there is additional time, the motions to quash would be heard. Will Reverse Decision
 After hearing the arguments on the motions Friday, Judge Inghs will undoubtedly reserve decision and take the questions under ad- visement. His decisions will be mo- mentous, and highly important to this case and also to the Merritt Parkway trials.
 No defense motions were filed for Timothy Horgan, Harry Mckenzie of Bethel, Charles Williamson of Darien or Edward Levy of New Haven. AS Enoch E. Borgnaes of New York has not as yet been ap- prehended, no defense motions were expected.
 Charles E. williamson is not even represented by counsel.

ened the trestle just before the Olympian roared onto 1t.
 The outstanding hero of the dis aster, Lewis Williams. Negro sleep ing car porter, was pressing con- pany officials for a new assign ment. Credited with having saved at least 20 lives, he was fully re- covered from his slight injuries and modestly dodging persons who wanted to praise him.
 Williams car tottered for per- haps five minutes on the brink of the flood before 1t plunged in. He had the choice of saving himself or trying to herd out his passengers who had all retired for the night and probably drowning. He chose the latter course and got all his passengers out and even rescued some of their baggage. A second or two later the car went into the creek.
 T can't see why everyone is making a fuss" Williams said. "I just carried out a few bags and told the passengers which door to leave from. I do that every time the train stops.
 Anyway, when we got the bump I knew mighty well something was wrong. I could hear the water and knew we must be in a river or washout. I just went to the low end of the car and woke up the passengers that weren't already awake and picked up what luggage could and told them which door to leave from and helped them a little bit maybe"
 A number of Williams passen- gers planned to recommend him for Carnegie hero award.
 In the morgues here were 34 bod les, many still unidentified. Most of the victims were in night attire and the lack of identifying cards or belongings caused confusion.

 T worked on the spy case stra1gh1 through, Sundays and holidays in- cluded," he said.
 Although the spy investigation really started ip 1935 when William Lopkowsld, German secret agent among those indicted yesterday, fled the country to avoid arrest by U. g, naval intelligence officers, Turrou was not assigned to 1t until last February.
 Spy trails picked mp in the years since 1885 were gradually woven to- gether and came to a head when Guenther Gustav Rumrich, 37-year old U. s. army desefter, was arrest ed while posing as q state depart ment official In an attempt to ob- taan a sheaf of passport application blanks.
 Turrou, foreign born and a mas ter Of languages, questioned Rum- rich and from him obtained the Leads which resulted in yesterdays indictments. Turrou plaid tribute to Hardy, to whom he said every American owes & tremendous debt to grak- tude," and Assistant U. s. Attorneys Lester c. Dunigap and Richard Burke.
 ~On many occasion in the past few months" he said, i've met at Hardy,s home Q nSupdays and hoh- days sitting the evidence we had gathered
 Turrou has been associated with most of the P. B. Is major tpyestt- gattons since he became ap agent. He worked on the Kansas City Union Station massacre in which several persons were shot down by gangsters and Reed yetterli, F. B. l. agent in charge here. was wound- ed, eventually running down the killers. He worked on the Indiana election fraud case, the Guillaums Rozen Kidnapping, and scores Of other cases.
 Turrou, whose resignation is ef- fective at once, has three months leave on salary coming to him.
 The agents resignation will not halt the governments continued ip- vestigation of the espionage ring. The U. s. attorneys office indicated further indictments would follow.
 The breaking up of at least one branch of the spy ring and the des- igpation, for the first tine in the intricately developed investigation, of Germany as the foreign power engaged in seeking the military secrets of the United States, clt- maxed more than four months of intense inquiry.
 That intensity, evident in the zeal with which Assistant U. s. District Attorney Lamar Hardy, the federal

Shanghai, March 15.-(AP)- Ma
sayuki TAM, Japanese ministerial
large, stationed in Shanghai, said to-.
day the "open door" in China would
remain open after the present conflict
was settled.
TAM said in an interview Japan
would grant equal opportunity to the
United States and other friendly pow
ers to aid in the reconstruction of
China as soon as possible.
Major fighting is finished. We are
in transition period, and soon re-
construction will begin" he said.
Then, Japan will prove to the world
by her actions that declarations set
ting out her aims in the Orient, pledg-
ing equality of treatment were not
mere Words
Americans, he said, were doing bust
ness as usual in Japanese-occupied
North China and had no reason to be
apprehensive in central China.
TAM promised to investigate refusa!
of Japanese authorities to permit mis-
sion organizations to return to Yang
TIE valley stations, but said the re-
fusal probably was because the mis-
sion premises were required tempo
rarily to house troops.
The military situation on the Vel
low river front remained confused.
but japanese army spokesman no
longer claimed that any japanese
troops were south of the river in their
attacks on the Lunghai railway.

PROSECUTORS PILE
FACTS ON KIDNAPER
Federal Agents Hope To Send Ross
AbductOr-Slayer to Chair for
Confessed Crime

Chicago, March 15.-(AP) = The
texts of five ransom notes and the
testimony of two women served to-
day as the preliminary legal frame
work which Federal prosecutors hop
ed would support demand that John
Henry Seadlund would be put to
death for kidnapping.
Seadlund, once a Minnesota lumber
jack, has pleaded guilty to the $4,000
misunderstanding of Charles Ross,
u, retired Chicago manufacturer, who
was slain while a prisoner.
Hence, the trial became merely a
formality to comply with Federal law,
which provides that the death penalty
must he imposed by jury.
Mrs. Mae Ross and Miss Florence
Freihage, the victims widow and for
mer secretary, respectively, testified
at the trials opening yesterday.
Mrs. Ross identified ransom notes
and four snapshots of her husban nd
The latter were taken at a hide-out
near Emily, Mimi, where Seadlund
and his confederate, James A. Gray
held Ross a prisoner. They were used
by the kidnapers during ransom
negotiations.
Miss Freihage testified she was re
turning to Chicago with Ross Sep
TENDER 25, 1887, after a dinner en-
gagement at Sycamore, Ill, when their
car was stopped by two men.
