tive Of this city, spoke at an inter-
faith meeting In New Britain last
evening, stating that when nearly
one-l1alf Of q great nation practices
no religion whatsoever, IS Is the
case In this country, that very fact
indicates that one Of the three
great pillars supporting the coun-

and the other two undermined.

Of about 15O persons In the Vance

talked on aspects Of democracy.
Father Brophy said that people
too often make q fetish Of the word
democracy, considering It only as .
standard or Q symbol, but actually
1t Is Q vital factor IN the life Of
every American, q something which
cannot stand up by itself but needs
be infused with the strength to

"Jilx" Blamed
Number "l3" Figures
in Selection Of
Jury, Illness
of Two.

Persons who believe In the as"
ink are commenting on the situ-
alton which developed in connec-
ton with the jury In the trial Of
the case Of Miss Mary Cavanaugf
being held in the local Superior
Court.
It was the original intention Of
the court and attorneys in the
case TO select two alternate jurors
for the trial Of the case but the
Jury panel was exhausted after
the first alternate Juror was
selected and It was decided to pro-
coed with the one alternate rather
than delay the trial while extra
jurors were called In. This left
a situation whereby there were IL
available jurors.
since the trial started two Of
the thirteen jurors have been
stricken Ill and there are now only
eleven men on the jury.
In the waterbury conspiracy
trial, which lasted nine months
two alternates were selected maxi
ing IA available jurors, but neither
Of the alternates was called upon
to take o seat on the Jury In that
case, each member Of the regular
jury reporting for service each day
Of the trial, despite the severe
winter weather and the hot sum-
msr days while the trial was In
progress.
The conspiracy trial jury law
yers were commenting In the Su-
perior Court yesterday on the fact
that the conspiracy trial jurors
were for the most part much
younger than the members Of the
jury In the Cavanaugh case.
It is unusual for criminal cases
to be called off in the state due
to illness Of jurors and not many
nistrials have had to be declared.
The fact that two members Of the
twelve Jurors and one alternate
Juror In the Cavanaugh case were
taken Ill Is giving those who think
the number "13" q ink something
to talk about.
