Atty, Gustaierr', as had been agreed

II don't know whether your

Gustaferri at one time, pointing 10

tortion notes.

Judge,
That the feeling between the 10

AS O climax 10 the excitement
Atty. Navin approached Chief In

were over.
Just what was said between the

The hearing on the motion Of
Attys. Joseph Navin ana Hugo
duStaferri OF this city for new
trial In the case OF Fiore Massucei,
held at the United States District
Court at New Haven yesterday, was
one OF the most exciting In that
court In O long time. Reporters, who
have attended trials In the court for
years said II was the most eXcit-
Ing day they have had In o long
while.
MaSsucei, as Is generally known,
was found guilty on O charge OF
having attempted TO extort $4,000
from former Mayor Frank Hayes
and sentenced 10 serve eighteen
months In the federal penitentiary.
Clashes between Attys. Nayin
and dustaferri on Massuccis side
and United States District Attor-
ney Robert Butler were constant
and Judge Hincks denounced the
local lawyers on several occasions.
AS an example OF what was going
on Atty. Navin walked not up TO
but on TO the judges bench after
Judge Hincks had denied the mo-
ton for q new trial and started TO
whisper into Judge Htncks ear.
Don't be whispering In my ear"
said the judge, get off the bench
and X you have something to say
10 me say II from the floor OF the
courtroom like any lawyer and O
man should. There Is nothing Sc
cret In this court and you're not
whispering to me. Anything that Is
10 be said will be said In the OPEN"
Atty. Navin then indicated that
what he wanted to speak about TO
Judge Hincks did not involve the
Massucci case.
At the very outset OF the case
Judge Hincks made II apparent
that he was willing TO listen to any
arguments that were pertinent, but
that he was not going to waste the
time OF the court. In other words he
told AttyS. Navin and Gustaferri TO
get down TO business"
Your motion Is very vague" said
the Judge. II speaks OF two mega
tives In paragraph three which you
imply you have secured but you
don't &C tally say you have"
When the first witness, Mabel
Burns OF the staff Of the Waterbury
Republican and American was called
and Atty Gustaferri started to ques-
ton her, Judge Hincks said Gan
this witness produce your mega
tives?" It developed that she could

your main contention Is your
negatives" SAID Judge Hincks look
ing at the local attorneys. "Put wit
nesses on the stand that can pro-
duce them and get down to bus
mess"
AS the case went on Attys. Navin
and Gustaferri were both talking
at the same time on the same SUBJ
jects.
II can only listen TO one attorney
at q time" said the Judge. Make up
your minds az to which one Of you
Is going to do the talking"
Despite this warning Atty. Navin
several times started to talk and
each time was cautioned by Judge
Hincks that 'ha was listening 70
