Phil Coppeto To

by the jury had gotten underway, but at this time it was generally understood that there would be one.
 It was charged that Attorney Ralph Coppeto did counsel the said Phil Coppeto to remain without the jurisdiction of the state of Connec- ticut for the purpose and intent to conceal the unlawful transactions herein before described participated in by the said Ralph Coppeto and Philip Coppeto" according to the bench warrant issued for the ar- rests.
 Whereabouts Unknown
 Reports as to where Coppeto spent the past four months went unaf- firmed today. The latest was that he had been recuperating from an ill- ness in a midwest hospital. His wife disclaimed any knowledge of his whereabouts throughout the investi- gation.
 When he was first sought as witness early in February, it was re- ported that he had gone to Atlantic City. From that time, he was at various times reported in Florida, the west, and even Italy and Mexico.
 No Definite Search
 Officials apparently made no def mite attempts to locate him until after the bench warrant was issued. Within three days of that time. when Coppeto failed to appear and post 8 bond, Detective Hickey an- nounced that he had asked all po- lice and the F. B. [. to join in the search. Borgnaes is also the object of the same search.
 It was learned yesterday that Hickey and Greer planned per- sonal search for the accused. They are now expected to concentrate their efforts on the search for Borg naes.

rout out certain high-salaried gen. tlemen who spend their time pick ing candidates to defeat senators who do not agree with their political beliefs"
 The roll call vote on the Hatch amendment showed 40 Democrats voting against it, and 9 Democrats. 12 Republicans, one Farmer-Labor- ite, one progressive and one inde- pendent for it. It was backed yig- orously by Democrats who have at one time or another deserted the ad- ministration on vital issues and now fear that the relief fund will be used in repriSals against them.
 Hatch blasted all hope of admin iStration leaders to get final vote on the bill before adjourning last night by introducing his amendment shortly after the dinner hour and opening a vitriolic attack on the participation of relief officials in pri- maries or other political activities.
 If there is corruption in WPA or PWA or any place else" he said, don't condemn the foremen of the project, the state chairman or any, -one else. The problem is yours (con- gressD for solution"
 He accepted an amendment to his amendment, offered by Sen. Joseph o. OMahoney, D., Wyo., which spe- officially would have made it illegal for any administrative officer under the recovery relief program to en- gage in political campaigns.

 "The business of planning the election of Republicans and the defeat of Democrats is apparently of secondary importance, in spite of the many gatherings where party unity is emphasized somewhat by lip service, and in spite of many newspaper headlines and columns of print"
 The article charged no small group" many of whom "sleep in Connecticut and live in New York because it costs less in taxes, could possibly operate the Republican party in this state."

 At the same time, Lewis E. Good sell, young Republican National Committeeman, demanded in a Danbury talk that the three Central Committee members mentioned in the present scandals" quit their party positions.
 The Holland County Young Re- publican Association, meeting at Stafford Springs, passed resolu- ton demanding the resignation of Buckley, Holland County leader, from the Central Committee.
 Buckley's presence on the com- mittee. the resolution said, would be detriment to the interests of the Republican party in this county and in the State of Connecticut. The executive committee of the Hartford County Young G. o. F., meeting here, also urged those named in the jury report to "sever their relations with the Republican organization"

 N. M. U. officials said more than 1,500 men responded. Shippers es- timated that the number was less. Taylor said the strike was "un- warranted and entirely unjustifi- able"

$69,827.47 paid in April; the pay ments for the first four months of 1888 into the sinking fund average $5l ,035 monthly.
 This Substantiates the comment of Mayor Frank Hayes, with which the controller took issue some weeks ago, that payments to the fund, what with numerous back taxes subject to placement in this category and sales of property foreclosed by the city, as well, will aggregate suffi- cient to take care of the so-called deficit. Additionally, the fund will come close to replacing the $3O0,000 item of the sinking fund which was illegally placed in the 1888 budget as an item of revenue.
 Cash Deficit" $331, ,O00 The total "cash deficit" as stressed by Controller Rowland, or the met overdraft", including the approximate $13O,000 in 1897 bills the controller refused to pay, was re- ported by him as $331 ,Ooo. So, with the cash balance of $71 ,000 included, the sinking fund so far this year has shown total receipts of more than $275 ,000, this for the first four months.
 It is the contention of city officials and members of the Board of Fi- nance that payments will increase monthly throughout the rest of the year. The controller does not con- cur. This, in spite of the list of properties to be advertised for sale by the city in the near future and the fact that there are outstanding several hundred thousand dollars in back taxes which would accrue to the sinking fund on payment.
 Take Care of All
 At the rate of $50,000 a month,- the sinking fund would show total of $600,000 for the year, of course, and with the $71,000 added, would take care of the item of $300,000 set up in the budget, as well as all over expenditures and the back bills. This was the purpose of the sink ing fund when 1t was set up many years ago on the recommendation of Commissioner John H. Goss, to serve as sort of deficiency bill." During the last ten years the city, as well as the state and many municipal and state governments elsewhere, have found themselves running in the red" in the final accounting of estimated receipts as set up in budgets devised during different from that of many others preceding years.
 The local situation is seen as no where the business recession" of last fall arrived at time when most budgets had been set up on bases of better business conditions. The surplus resource sinking fund is expected to serve the emergency in the same manner that deficiency bills have under-written Connec- ticut's over-expenditures of appro- priations for the last 20 years and ing this year, to more than longer, amounting in total, eXclud- $17 ,000, ,000.
 Hundreds Await Payment
 Hundreds of persons in Waterbury who supplied food, lodging and Serv- ices to the Welfare Department dur ing last winter: scores of business houses; hospitals, doctors, and many more, have been waiting for pay ment of their claims against the city for several months. The controller has turned the sinking fund re- ceipts, up to yesterdays April amount, into the general fund, pre- ferring, it appeared, to build up the 1888 account by cancelling over- expenditures of appropriations rather than to pay the lbils con- tracted by the city last year.

 Nixon made an incomplete con- fession of the Johnson and Castle murders three days ago. Last night he was brought into Storms office.
 Chief, I've got something to tell you," he said. T killed that nurse. ,
 Storms rushed him to the show up" room, where members of the May grand jury and 300 other per- sons were gathered to view suspects. Storms began to question him.
 What are you here for?" Storms asked.
 I'm here for murder" Nixon an- swered.
 How many?"
 'I don't know"
 Whom did you murder?"
 "There was the Castle woman at the hotel and the Johnson woman. ''
 "Who else?"
 "That nurse. I don't remember anything else"
 He was taken back to Storms office and Howard Jones Green, 20, lanky Negro from Tallulah, Miss, who had been taken into custody because Nixon said he had travelled with him. was brought in. Green had been arrested at Argo, H., vest side Chicago suburb. and had told police Nixon had confessed to per- forming a number of robberies on the west coast when he was there year ago.
 Do you know this man?" Storms asked Green.
 "Yes," Green said. "He's Robert Nixon"
 Green was removed to his cell and Nixon, without further prompting, added his confession of the Worden slayings. After steak dinner, he drew up 8 chair to Storms desk and said he was ready to make a detailed statement.
 q want to get it of my chest" he said.
 He began by describing an as- sault in a Chicago hotel. It was the 18th he has admitted since he was seized early Friday by police squad on its way to the scene of the Johnson staying.
 He implicated Green in the Los Angeles crime. Green denied being present when the slayings were committed, but the Los Angeles of- f1cers said they had evidence he was there at the time.
 Earl Hicks, 19-year-old Negro of Greenville, Miss, has confessed he was with Nixon when Mrs. Johnson was slain. He was seized at his home after Nixon had named him as an accomplice.
 Nixon came to Chicago from Tallulah in 1883. He fled to Glendale, 20 miles north of Los Angeles, a year ago after the Castle slaying. He worked in eco camp there, he said, carrying on his marauding raids from the camp.
 He is a slim, strong youth. He amazed police officers yesterday dur ing reenactment of the Castle staying by the ease with which he climbed up a wall IS feet to the fire escape, clambered to the fifth floor and entered a window.
 In checking on the youths back ground police wired Sheriff A. J. D. Sezier of Madison Parish. Louisi- ana for information. He said Nixon had been known as sneak thief and prowler since he was six.
 Unable to do much with him because he was so young" Sezier wired. Nothing but death will cure him."
