FREQUENT NOLLES SET RECORD HERE
Seven Out of Every Ten Motor Vehicle Cases
 Are NOlled

The Waterbury Traffic department ranks second among the four large cities of Connecticut in the number of cases nolled without trial by the court, according to records of the state department of motor vehicles.
 In Bridgeport 8l.5 per cent of all cases were nolled while Waterbury shows percentage of 69.9. Hartford court nolled 50.5 per cent of the cases, while New Haven was lowest with 45.6 per cent.
 Accordining to the files of the de- partment, 66.3 per cent of all the cases were nolled, out of 8 total of 668 traffic violations presented to the courts of Bridgeport, New Haven, Hartford, and Waterbury.
 Motorists arrested in Connecticut for traffic violations have nearly twice as good a chance to have their cases nolled with or without costs in the four city courts than anywhere else in the state, the rec ords of the department show.

ten-year-old crime trail, there is the grisly possibility that the ring is racing to kill its members or cus- toners of forestall further revela- tiorS.
 Each day brings out new angles in this sensational case. To date here is what the Philadelphia au- thorities say about it:
 The ring operated in Pennsyl- vania (with two branches" in Phil adelphia and one in Pittsburgh so far discoveredD, Delaware, New Jer- sey, New York and Connecticut. It may have done a mail-order bus mess on the Pacific coast, too.
 For fee and percentage of the insurance money collected, it in- structed dissatisfied women, and few men, in ways to murder, sup piled poison or did the "jobs" for them.
 Apparently, it also ran "matri- monial agency to supply new hus- bands or lovers. As sidelines, the ring dealt in counterfeit money, ar- son and, probably, blackmail.
 Arsenic was the chief murder means. It was retailed at $500 a pint as "witch's brew" and was fed the victims in small doses by the rings customers or agents. Since arsenic poisoning, in some stage,

can be mistaken for other internal disorders, the victims were buried as having died from colds, pneu- monia, heart disease and so on. Dug up, the bodies of most of the victims were found to contain arsenic.
 Sometimes the ring bludgeoned it's victims to death, sometimes ran them over with automobiles, some times drowned them, occasionally gave them soluble salts of tin Ga subtle poison) or hemlock, which Socrates drank to die. There is a suspicion that the syndicate also used typhoid germs. The known vic- tims in Philadelphia alone number 35 and will probably total at least 100. Police say 100 others were killed elsewhere. --..
 The ring was probably the brain child of Herman Petrillo, Mrs. Fava- to and one Rafaele Pofselli, con- fessed accessory to three slayings. Polselli declared that after he and two others thought up the scheme they were at loss how to operate it. So he bought in one Cesare Val enti, professional murderer and member of the sinister Black Hand.
 Valenti and Herman Petrillo took North Philadelphia for their "ter- ritory," according to the police, and gave South Philadelphia to Paul Petrillo and one Morris Bolber, gro cer and self-styled "psychiatrist." Valenti- Petrillo specialized in unhappy wives. Bolber-Paul Pet rillo specialized in sex-hungry. foot loose men. As, bait they used Rose Carina, otherwise known as "the woman with the kiss of death." Rose, now fugitive sought from east to west, married or lived with various men. Those who were insured died.
 From Dr. Horace D. Perlman, a dapper, respectable obstetrician, the ring obtained it's arsenic supply and also prospects, police charge. An in- surance agent named Gaetano Cic- nati reportedly sold the ring insur- ance and rounded up prospective victims.

 Sewer Assessments
 The charter revision committee recommended that a bill be intro duced at Hartford lowering the sewer assessments on corner lots. The board accepted the recommen- dation and voted to ask Senator George T. Culhane to file the bill.
 No. action was taken on electing the aldermanic member of the board of park commissioners. Re- publican aldermen, in the majority, disagreed on choice, with Alder manic President Patrick Perriello and Alderman c. Arthur Dubois as candidates. The deadlock may re- suit in the reelection of Alderman Peter Griffin, Democrat, to the post.

A protest from residents of Wa tertown avenue and Bunker Hill against the transfer of the city yards from Benedict street to the isolation hospital property was received by the board of aldermen last night, Anson R. Stocking representing property owners, presented peti- tion bearing 200 signatures.
 Alderman Thomas P. Kelly de- clared that the proposed transfer was not before the aldermen point ing out that it has been discussed rather by the board of finance The suggestion for the transfer was made by Finance Commissioner John H. Goss, who said the idea came originally from Supt. of Streets Thomas J. Fleming.
 Placed on File
 Alderman Kelly asserted that there is no appropriation to pay for the expenses of such a trans fer. The protest presented by Mir Stocking was placed on file. MT. Stocking also asked that the city remove large amount of pipes and equipment now stored near the hos pital.
 A request from the Waterbury Housing Authority was received asking that the aldermen initiate under WPA auspices, survey of living conditions in the city. A petition signed by 200 residents, ask ing the aldermen to consider slum clearance further, was received by the board.
 The board received communica- tion from Parks Supt. James J. Curtin stating that about $28.00C will have to be expended at the municipal atheltic field on Water town avenue, even when the WPA turns the field over to the city.

 The companies keep no clearing house to check up on the number of policies issued to any one person.
 Since no physical examination is required to buy industrial insur- ance and since agents earnings often depend on the amount of this they can sell, it was easy to get in- dustrial insurance on the lives of arsenic ring victims.

 Philadelphia, May 16 = The slay- for-pay syndicate, whose existence was disclosed when two of its Phil adelphia principals broke, carried on operations so fantastic, so far- flung and so involved that the Philadelphia police are working 34 hours a day making arrests, ex- huming bodies. grilling prisoners and seeking new suspects and more victims.
 Police of five other states are CO., operating, and Federal agents will enter the case. Exhumed bodies are piling up so fast that additional chemists have been hired to make analyses.
