New Haven Jury Hearing Case Made Up Of Catholic,
 MethOdsts, EpiscopaIians and Baptist

tween Judge Pickett and Hayden Covington of Jehovah's Towers, Brooklyn, N. r., defense attorney, who is fresh from 8 victory before the United Sattes Supreme Court on the right of the sect members to distribute literature.
 Deninger was arrested November g by Policeman Michael Quinn, who was in plain clothes, when the man allegedly attempted to inter fere with the officer as he ques- toned Nils Vredt, 12, of Larchmont, N. Y, who was a party of Larchmont Witnesses conducting a street corner distribution of the groups pamphlets.
 Several times during the trial Judge Pickett warned Covington to conform to Connecticut court pro- cedure, and once told him This is New Haven not the Supreme Court"
 The 12-years-old boy was the principal witness for the defense. He told the court Quinn replied he didn't want "the dirty stuff" when he tried to give the officer a pam phlet. He siad Quusn hit his arm and then, when the boy argued about his right to distribute the literature, the policeman twisted his arm and forced him to the sidewalk.
 Then the boy said, Deninger walked over and entered the dis cussion and, as the argument be- came heated. was grabbed either by the throat or the collar by the of ficer, who for the first time dis played his badge.
 Then Quinn. first alone and later aided by another officer, began a march to the police headquarters, with Deninger shouting in a loud tone of voice, and this was admitted by defense witnesses, shouting such notices as Christianity blushes. '' In one scuffle in front of the Pos. Office. Quinn admitted, the police man either pushed or struck Denim ger and the result was a bloody nose.
 Deninger claimed ne had been thrown against desk and other wise missreated in the station house, but other policemen asserted the booking there was normal and routine"
 The evidence was completed be- fore the court adjourned Tuesday, and it is expected rebuttals will be completed and the case will go be- fore the jury by noon Wednesday. The jury includes one Catholic, three Methods, four Congrega- tionalists, including che wife of minister, a Protestant" an Epis- copalian and a Baptist.

Der 9th the plaintiff moved for per- mission to amend the complaint, and the motion was granted on Decem- Der 22. The amendment added a new and specific claim of negli- gence. On December 27th the de- fendant filed an amended answer denying the new allegations, and within ten days thereafter, on Jall- uary 5, 1940, pursuant to the plain tiff's written claim, the case was placed on the jury docket. The court granted defendants motion to strike the case therefrom.
 The trial court ruled that by per- mitting more than ten days to elapse after an issue of fact had been joined without filing a claim for the jury docket the plaintiff had waived her right to make such claim within ten days after later issue of fact had been joined.
 Within Statute.
 The defendants brief discusses an issue not considered by the trial court and not raised in the appeal He contends that no new issue of fact was raised by the amendments. The motion to strike from the jury docket recited that an issue of fact had been~ joined and claimed that the plaintiff had thereby abandoned her right. The trial court properly considered that claim only, and the appeal was from the courts order granting the defendants motion to strike the case from the jury dock ct. However, the amendment to the effect that the acts charged consti- tuted negligence because they vio- lated the rules of the road, and the defendants denial that this was SO, brought the matter within the in- tendment of the statute.

govich.
Coupling his decision with a crit
cism of the polo.playing Mdivani,
Judge Dockwieler said:
1T is most singular to note that
he would spend substantial sums
for distant relatives and friends
abroad but, with respect to his own
flesh and blood, he made no con
tribution for many years, other
than a few paltry dollars he gave
to his wife for their sons needs.
"This is indeed something the
ocurt can hardly understand, for
which the defendant gave no ade'
quate explanation"
Miss Murray sued Mdivani for
81, 900 a month to enable her to
establish a home for the son who
was given, under a New York court
order, to neutral persons until she
could maintain q suitable home.
The blonde Miss Murray testified
she spent all her funds in a battle
to save the boys life during a
critical illness three years ago. She
had complained that Mdivani dis
sipated her funds while Their were
married, and that although she
was worth $4,000, 900 in 1926, 10
years later she had spent three
nights on a bench in New York's
Central Park penniless.

dually. It granted the employee.
s1gners a five per cent wage in.
crease and other benefits and bound
them In return not to strike or to
demand a union agreement.
The Labor board, ruling in a pro.
ceeding started by an ALL union
before the contract was signed, or.
dered the company to desist from
giving effect to it and to bargain
with the union upon request. The
firm fought the order principally on
two grounds:
1. That the board failed to make
the employees who signed the con-
tract a party to the action.
2. That the complaint on which
the board was acting made no ale.
cations against the contract, which
had developed afterwards.
The court, in a 15-page decision
by Justice Stone, said on the first
point that the boards function was
not to adjudicate private rights
but to effectuate the public policy
of the Wagner act and that in it's
proceedings there was 'little scope
or need for the traditional rules
governing the joinder. of parties in
litigation determining private
rights" On the second point, the
court held that the. negotiation of
the contract was a continuation Of
the unfair labor practices alleged in
the original complaint.
Here the right asserted by the
board is not one arising upon or
derived from the contracts between
petitioner and its employees" Stone
wrote. 1.-THE board asserts a public
right vested in it as a public body,
charged in the public interest with
the duty of preventing unfair labor
practices.
1.-THE public right and the duty
extend not only to the prevention
Of unfair labor practices by the EN-.
