somber eyes. Even this moments

|WHOLEAN FILES. !!DUNN'S REQUEST
State Must Prove General Conspiracy Counsel
 Claims in Petition

Attorney William J. Wholean of Hartford today filed with Judge Ernest A. Inglis in superior court a request for charge in behalf of Martin J. Dunn, former purchasing agent, in the conspiracy trial.
 The request contains 20 para graphs, outlined in six pages oi manuscript. Attorney Wholean asks Judge Inglis to tell the jury that the fact the state has informed against Dunn should not be taken into consideration--and that the ac- cused Dunn is under no burden to prove his innocence.
 As In the other requests, mention is made of the necessity of the state to prove one general conspiracy, not several separate and distinct con- spiracies. "The mere cognizance or passive acquiescence is not sufficient to make one party to conspir- acy" the writ maintains.
 It points out that Dunn never attended meeting of the board of finance, or had anything to do with the board, also that he had nothing to do with the warrants payable register sheets.
 The jury should consider that Carroll and Brice (City Hall jani- tors) admit they lied on several stories. Attorney Wholean says.
 In conclusion, 1t is maintained Proof of several little conspiracies will not be proof beyond doubt of one general conspiracy"

 Another property owner, William Munson, said the river would be all right if 1t were cleaned out, and all the stones and other materials dumped into 1t were removed.

Hopes for rain which arose when Waterburians awoke to an overcast sky this morning. were punctured shortly before 10 o'clock when the sun peeped through.
 Cooler temperatures were regis tered, however, with 84 degrees re- corded at noon, after slow climb from "A degrees at o'clock this morning. Relief from the heat was expressed in many ways as pedes- trians walked with their coats on their backs instead of on their arms, and offices dispensed with a full complement of artificial breezes.
 Thunder showers are prophesied for tonight after an evening of fair weather. These, although bringing imaginary relief, would be a sad substitute for the hoped-for steady downpour. Real rain is not seen by thee xperts until about August 10.
