JUDGES RULING FREES PRISONER
Court Declines to Allow 5-Year-Old Girl to
 Testify

Cries of "You dirty ratI" and They'll catch up with you;" re- sounded through the staid superior court chamber here today after John Spina. 55, of Bishop street, had been granted a nolle on 8 statutory charge involving five year old girl.
 The cries were from the mother of the little girl victim and deputy sheriffs were required to silence her.
 Assistant States Attorney Walter w. Smyth was forced to recommend a nolle for Spina when Judge John A. Cornell ruled that he would not allow the five year old girl to testify against Spina. He ruled that she was too young to understand the na- ture of an oath. The little girl was the states only witness.
 Attorney Sidney s. Cassel, repre- senting Spina, argued that the court could not accept the little girls tes- timony. Assistant States Attorney Smyth's attempts to have the court hear the girl were overruled.

Another eight million dollars is spent at ho- tels, inns, and overnight camps for lodgings. Approximately eight mill lion four hundred thousand dollars is spent for food in all types of eating places, and retail stores ring up around ten million dollars of va cationist's money. An additional five and one-half million dollars is spent for amusements and variety of miscellaneous items. If every motorist who visits Waterbury in the course of 8 year could be in- f1uenced to prolong his stay by one or two days it would undoubtedly result in thousands of dollars or ad- ditional revenue to the community The recent session of the Legisla- ture provided for the establishment of the Connecticut Development Commission which will work along the lines found successful in more than 26 other states. A great many cities throughout the country art also appropriating funds to adver' tise their advantages and the Motol Club hopes that its news folder vii serve a useful purpose in this field.
