der without any guilty knowledge on his part. And of course, there isn't one speck of evidence to the effect that Thomas Fleming received one single penny.
 If your honor please, you and began a study of law together 30 odd years ago, and I think I know, and I know that I know, that your honor and I both feel that the sys- tenn of English common law is the greatest contribution that has been made to this world in the interest of orderly government. But there is one sad blot upon that system, that system which brides itself on the precision, the certainty with which 8 criminal charge shall be made. It isn't 50 that a man can be charged with committing a murder with a gun and then evidence comes in that he used 8 knife. But there is just one crime in which the law throws all these safeguards, all these rules of reason and sense and logic and fairness out of the window, so far as pleading goes, 50 far as evidence goes, no rules of evidence, no law of evidence, anything goes. And the weakness and the damnability of that kind of thing was never better illus trated than in this room here. Ever body charged, regardless, without any discrimination, was guilty. And so, your Aonor, even with you or I or anybody else, the hurricane sweeps through and down goes the last tree.

 But that's what they call pure, :" Mises Vooros said. When two peo- pie go together and they don't curb their natural instincts, that's pure" !"
 Miss Vooros said the organization called a special meeting to discuss whether to admit her because while her mother was German her father was a Greek. born in Syria. They finally admitted her, she said, be- cause she had such strong feelings for Germany"
 What They Must Know
 We had to know the German na- tional anthem and the Horst Vessel song," she said.
 Did they teach you American history or ideals, or American songs?" asked Rep. J. Parnell Thom- as, R., N. J.
 "No," she said.
 "Were they critical of American history and ideals?" asked Commit tee Counsel Rhea Whitley.
 "Yes," she said. They were always critical of this form of government. They said 1t was led by one minor ity."
 What was that minority?"
 "The Jews"

 She said the girls of her group were taught to "go to the people and tell them the advantages of Nazi- ism"
 MT. Kuhn," said Whitley, "has said repeatedly that the Bund is an American group and is interested in American institutions. Is that cor rect?"
 Tt is false," she said.
 Miss Vooros testified that she came to the United States in 1926, enter ing at New York. She said she is a citizen. She joined the South Brook lyn division of the Bund's youth movement in May, 1887.

Mackenzie's clearly speculative evil dence in that respect was a fact Your honor referred, think, in your charge to the same character of evidence, and I think 1t might have fairly been inferred from your honor's charge that the jury got the impression that Mackenzie's speculation is evidence.
 If you go through the record, you find 1t is in the same character, duplicated. As I said, won't argue at any length, however, because we are fully protected by this mo- tion, but I, with all the sincerity that is in me, ask your honor to set aside this verdict because it is not sustained by the evidence or the weight of the evidence.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-08-18
ATTORNEY MURRAY:

With your honor's permission, my defendant for whom I am counsel has filed a motion to set aside the verdict on the ground that it is contrary to the law and against the evidence. Of course, 1t is obvious that that filed motion protects, as I understand in this state, all of the accused's rights, so that in the event of an appeal, he is fully pro- tected. Now, am not in a position or inclined to argue this motion at length because as your honor well can appreciate, there are 11,000 pages of testimony and lengthy charge of the court and, of course, it is humanly impossible on twenty four hours notice to review g record of this character and raise question to the fact and of law.
 However, as far as my client IS concerned, we are in the same po- sition as we were at the close of the states case. I moved to dis miss on ground that the state had not proven the case. I say again that I am in exactly the same po- sition now. My view of the evi- dence in this case, and I urge it on your honor, is that the evidence did not justify the conviction of my client.
 Of course, the paramount ques- tion here, so far as this case is con- cerned, is one of the failure of the state to prove single general con- spiracy. And as argued it to your honor at the close of the states case that the state had attempted to prove twenty separate, distinct and inde- pendent alleged conspiracies and not one single conspiracy. now reiter- ate that point on this argument.
 I say to your honor, from this rec ord, that the evidence did no. justify the jury in finding beyond a reas- onable doubt that my client was corrupt, took dishonest money, or in any way knew of conspiracy and aided and abetted in its progress.
 Now, if your honor please, there are points, such as this. as they occur to me now. MT. Mackenzie, for instance. in his testimony under question of the learned states attorney, said in effect that he as- stunned that the money that was paid to the lobbyists went four ways, and his assumption was that Mayor Hayes got a part of that money. If your honor please, it seems to me that that assumption or speculation or opinion of MT. Mac kenzie, wholly unjustified, was used as evidence in this case. If my recollection serves me right, MT. Alcorn argued to the jury that MT.

 Not Forced to Testify
 McDonough pointed out that the constitution says that an accused shall not be forced to testify, and that the Connecticut statutes point out that Failure or neglect of an accused to testify shall not be com- mented on."
 By the nature of Judge Inglis' charge, McDonough said, under the constitution of the U. S., the de- fendants were deprived of their rights and convicted without due course of law.
 Special exception was taken to Judge Inglis' reference to the fail-

ATTY. McDONOUGH:

If this jury followed your honor's charge-if any jury followed the charge given by your honor-such a verdict never could have been given. I submit to your honor that this jury followed your honor's charge no more than they followed the evil dence. They followed the evidence created in the minds by forces put to work before they were placed on trial here, and were ready to con- vict them regardless of the evidence that would be presented, that these men were guilty and should be pun ished. am speaking my feeling when say that to your honor and I'm speaking the feeling of others. The defense counsel spectators and others here were stunned by the type of verdict-stunned because of such verdict is putting it mildly.
 The jury sits here, your honor, from the 3lst of January (after be- ing carefully examined before they were accepted on this jury) until the 18th of August and in six hours brings in verdict. And I wonder if it took them six hours to arrive at a verdict or six minutes. I think they probably could have come in long before 5:30. submit, as coun- sel for Thomas Kelly, that 1t was subterfuge to bring in a verdict at that time.
 We all know-your honor has heard them in this court room when they have been out in the recess period, we could hear their voices laughing or talking or carrying on a conversation. Of course, the State may say they were deliberating in the greatest of secrecy when no sound came from the jury room. But my answer is that the jury had made up their minds long before the case was given to them by the court and did 1t in violation of the law for

was a function in the public inter- est in an industrial city such as Waterbury.
 Evidence of conspiracy was also lacking against Fleming and John ston, Attorney Healey asserted.
 He declared there was no evil dence that Fleming had lever re- ceived single penny" or that John ston had kicked back" any money to city officials. He referred to Ac. countant Warren M. Brown as one Juggling figures and data"
 Declaring that he had done his best to serve the interests of his clients as conscientiously as possible Attorney Healey said, with great solemnity, T advised by clients not to take the stand2" There was little point in their taking the stand. he said, in view of the hodge-podee offered as evidence by the prosecu- ton.
 Safeguards Gone
 Attorney Healey condemned the conspiracy law, stating that the un- related evidence that could be brought in took away al safeguards or reason, logic, fairness and sense. :"
 "The damnability of it." he as- serted, ''has never been better il- lustrated than here"
 Over the courtroom, he said. might well be inscribed the words, Abandon hope. all ye who enter here"
 Attorney William Wholean, of Hartford, on behalf of Martin J. Dunn, spoke for less than two min- utes. He felt very strongly, he said, that the jury verdict was against the law and the evidence. "The verdict was arrived at by prejudice. or ignorance, or both,". Attorney Wholean declared.
 Attorney Sidney Cassel, speaking for Philip Coppeto. contrasted the fairnes and patience of Judge lnglis with what he called the speed of the jury in reaching Q verdict. Tn the time they were out, he said, the jury members could scarcely have consid- cred the judges charge, much less any other factors in the case.
 No Kickbacls
 The only thing proven against Coppeto, Attorney Cassel said, was that he received money from the City of Waterbury. There was no evidence of any "kickbaeks" on his part. he said. or of any participation In a conspiracy.
 The jury must have been swayed by prejudice. argued Attorney Har- old Ashworth on behalf Of John O. purdie. Hts client was found guilty. he said. though there was no evi- dence that he took part in any con- spiracy to defraud the city.

A VOTE FOR THE GUNNER
(Hartford Courant)

Heaven help the modern fisher- man who undertakes to bring the Compleat Angler up to date. In the last two decades piscatorial worlds have been discovered of which the pre-war writers, let alone old Izaak, never dreamed. Horse mackerel and school tuna, white and blue marlin, broadbill swordfish, the mako shark of which Zane Grey has written at length, these and a host of other big fish are now taken regularly on rod and reel by sportsmen who hold that fish that can be hoisted on board without a block and tackle isn't worth keeping.
 The white marlin for which the president has been fishing Is an em- inently satisfactory object to bring to gaff. A man who takes a broad- bill on a line can-and inevitably does-boast about his feat until his friends across the street when they see him coming in order to avoid hearing the story again. By all ace counts. tarpon provides the sports man with something very close to the ultimate in thrills and excite- ment, although there are those who claim that tail.walking blue niar- lin offers the last word in fishing satisfaction.

Distribution High

The interesting study of distribution and it's high cost, which has been made by the Twentieth Century Fund, is draw ing to its conclusions. Previous parts of the study have indicated that distribution is too costly; that diSproportionate part of the cost of goods goes not to those who produce them, but to those who distribute them. The average person unthinkingly jumps to the answer: The distributors are making too much profit.
 But that isn't the answer, according to the funds research experts. They found little evidence that general high profits are being made in the field of distribution considered as a whole" Some firms, and especially some new and particularly ef- ficient ones, were found to be making big profits. But for every outstanding success and profit-maker among distri- butive firms, they found many which barely break even, and some which run at loss even in good years. In 1886, for example, relatively prosperous year, they found that half of all the trading and dis tributing organizations of the entire coun- try showed a loss on the year. Average net profits, Jumping together the profit able and unprofitable operations, were little more than 2 per cent on sales.
 In short, most of what the consumer pays for the wholesale and retail pro- cesses goes for wages, salaries, rent, main- tenance, heat, light, taxes, and supplies. Only a very small part goes for profit as such. The only conclusion that can be drawn from such a study is this: that if distribution of the things is costly and wasteful, so is their manufacture. And since the study makes it clear that "big profits" is probably not the answer to high-cost distribution, the answer does lie just where it lies in any other situa- tion of the kind - in greater efficiency to produce the same result, or in demanding less results.
 We want service with our buying. We want quick and frequent delivery; we want return privileges; we want accessi- ble locations; we want credit without limit All these things must be paid for. And probably no great reduction can be made in the cost of distributing goods without reducing some of the luxury-type facilities to which we Americans have long been accustomed, all of which means jobs for somebody.

Selected Poem
THAT WAS VERY LONG AGO"

(By Nina St. Clair Campbell in the Boston Post) When teacher came to supper he'd say: Things
 look so good, fear that I'll be tempted to eat more than shoud" Mad have creamed jellied chicken if 1t was sum-
 mertime, Or scrambled eggs and rose-pink ham, sliced thin-
 ner than dime; Such tender-crusted biscuits; delicious homemade
 bread; Fruitcake and crspy cookies: wild strawbres. ripe
 and red How the red juice used to mngle with the thick and
 luscious cream; In the last rays of the sunset how the silver used to
 gleam! While through the open windows came the vesper-
 sparrow's song, And from the dear, old garden rose-fragrance
 sweet and strongl Twas great to see how teacher ate forgot his dig
 nity, And from a lowered "mustash cup" drank long,
 sweet draughts of teal While he dscoursed on politics. religion and world
 news, No second helping offered, he ever would refuse. "roo much of that is just enough" with sparkling
 eyes, he'd say, While "us kids" used to wonder how he slowed so
 much away. How he always praised Mas cooking. and said, in "womans sphere" As homemaker and Mother she surely had no peer, To eat and talk so much at once seemed to us a magic art A social lion must possess to ably play his part.

When and if another war comes the last one will seem quite amateurish by comparison, that is in some of its aspects. Camouflage was introduced in the last war; but we doubt if it hasn't been prac- ticed in some form or other in every war that has taken place. In England where they are more war-minded than we in America they have planned to camou- flage St. Paul's Cathedral so that it will not be recognized from the air. Among other successful camouflages over there are factories, famous buildings, and so on, that will look like something entirely different from what they are from the air. look like churches, and airports to re- semble pretty villages. It sounds almost HOllyWoOdian,

Many Will Complain

Much is being heard in philatelic cir cles these days over the magnitude of the series of postage stamps that are to be issued late this year or early in 1940 to honor outstanding Americans. There will be thirty-fve stamps in all in this series, divided into seven groups of five each. Having become accustomed to volume in their commemorative stamps collectors are not complaining so much about the number and variety as about the subject matter.
 Anyone familiar with commemorative stamps would know that as big job as selecting thirty-five different Americans to be honored with special stamp was biting off big hunk of argument. Twice thirty-five subjects wouldn't even cover the territory and there still would be complaint at the inclusion of such-and- such person, the omission of somebody else. And that's the story right now. There is one school of thought that ob- jects to some of the celebrities; the other has it's own candidates.
 From the start The Democrat boosted the merits of John Fitch, the real inventor of the steamboat and native of our own state, as likely prospect. But in the list or five inventors there were chosen: Alex ander Graham Bell, Eli Whitney, Samuel F. B. Morse, Elias Howe, and Cyrus H. Nc Cormick. Nothing the matter with this group, to our way of thinking, but there are more names that readily come to mind.
 The same is true of authors and poets. We like 'em all, but there are more. Who could object to Ralph Waldo Emerson, Samuel L. Clemens, Washington Irving, Louisa May Alcott, or James Fenimore Cooper among the former in the latter classification, Henry w. Longfellow, James Whitcomb Riley, Walt Whitman, John Greenleaf Whittier, and James Russell Lowell. You could find room for dear old Eugene Field, but maybe he'll get postal recognition later.
 The whole trouble really is the series isn't big enough to take care of all the deserving "celebs".
