The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-11-19
l Controller Had To Rely On Others
 Claims Leary Counsel In Long Brief

conspired with anyone to do any, thing charged by the prosecution. Stress is laid on the fact that both men voluntarily appeared as states witnesses when the grand jury started its investigation in Water- bury and that they produced all their books and records and made full disclosure of everything they knew. The same em~' aSis is placed on the fact that Kingsley and Meany testified in their own behalf and produced many witnesses during the trial.
 Says Claim Invalid
 Speaking of their claim that if the state proved the existence of several conspiracies instead of just one, the verdict would be invalid, Slade claims that the state proved that several alleged conspiracies ex- isted; namely, (a) to cheat and de- fraud the city every two years be- tween 1930 and 1938; (b) to violate the charter and statutory provisions every two years between 1930 and 1888; Co to obstruct justice in 1887 and 1888; (O to destroy books and records of the city in 1887 and 1888; and other conspiracies.

LONG CONTINUANCE
 GIVEN BY COURT

An altercation which brought George Mendillo, 5l, of 583 Cooke street, cobbler, and William Dad- darlo, 35, O. 12 Aetna street before Judge T. E. Conway in city court this morning, ended with a twelve weeks continuance to both of the accused. Judge Conway allowed this time as the accused were from reputable families and this was their first appearance in court.
 The judge said that by allowing this length of time to elapse no bad blood" would flame up again. Other wise he warned that the fued would end in court with the court having the final say.
 The episode happened early in November when Daddario walked into the cobbler's shop on 27 Will low street and warned Mendillo u cease annoying his father. Accord ing to the court this morning the irritation was concerned with prop erty. Mendillo's ire flared at the words of Daddario, and he imme- diately seized shoe and flung 1t at the head of Daddario, who quickly hurled it back at the cob- bier.
 Mendillo then adopted a different tactic by picking up knife and hammer from the work bench and chased Daddario out of the store into the street. Daddario was for tunate in evading traffic but the cob- blers negotiations were not success full and he was hit by an automobile which landed him in a hospital, Daddario is released on a $100 0~cash bond.

with Adolf Hitler and German For eign Minister Joachim Won Ribben- trop yesterday.
 Fascist observers at Rome believed the Salzburg conference was called to try to reconcile Nationalist Spain with Bolshevik Russia, in view of their common friendship with the Axis powers.
 Rumania evidently was following Axis procedure. General Ion Anto- nescu, head of the government, re- turned from Rome yesterday noon and 1t was reported that he was go- ing to Berlin Friday.
 Slovakia is completely within the German orbit and D. N. B. reported today from Pressburg that the Slo- yak government had adopted new series of anti-Jewish laws provid- ing for immediate prohibition of Kosher slaughtering throughout the country and the sequestering in blocked accounts of all money earn ed by Jews in excess of so a month. Jews could use the excess only by permission of the central economic authority. Also, D. N. B. said, all foreign Jews in Slovakia must re- port to the police and "a large por- ton of foreign Jews soon may be expelled"

Police Continue
 DriUe On Parkers

The Police Department said late today that about $50 in parking fines will dribble into their coffers before the day is finished. Yesterday traffic viO- lators shelled out close to that figure. Lhe police netted a total of $113 in their drive last week end on illegal double-parking and parking in restricted areas. That figure has not been equalIed since three years ago when a parking drive carried out by the police started against "wrong side of the street" of- lenders.
 Supt. of Police William J. Reach said yesterday that t,ie police will maintain steady en- forcpment. He declared that an immediate drive would be conducted against the worst offenders of the parking ordi- nance, the bakery wagons, dairy trucks and other delivery cars. They leave their trucks in the middle of the road, Supt. Roach said, to make their de- liveries.

CIVIL ACTION IS WITHDRAWN TODAY

The $400 civil action of Tony Par sio of Beacon Falls against John Moskus of Naugatuck was withdrawn from the docket of common pleas court this morning. The litigation was based on an auto accident on Lopus road in Beacon Falls, August IT, in which cars operated by both parties were involved. Mokus was charged by the plaintiff with negli- gence in the operation of his.
 The $250 action of the Nineteen Sixty One Corp of New York against John M. Peterson of Watertown was also withdrawn this morning. The plaintiff contended that the defend- ant refused to pay rent for the month of September in accordance with a lease.
 The jury cmase of Modesto Cocco against Edward J. McAdams and others got underway this morning before Judge John F. McDonough and jury. Among the witnesses called to the stand were Carmella Angelillo, and Francis A. and Eliz- abeth Manfredi.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-11-19

defense are that he had no author ity to hire trucks and equipment ex- cept in emergencies; that he had no knowledge about amounts received by various contractors; that there was no motive for him to join a conspiracy; and that he had abso- lutely nothing to d with the ap- proval of vouchers.
 Four Main Points
 Tn his brief for Kingsley and Meany, Attorney Benjamin Slade rests his case of fol-. main points CD that the information charged in one count several distinct, separate unrelated alleged conspiracies be- tween certain groups of defendants charged with other defendants, with- out any con. ection, to attain differ ent objects; (2) that if the lf0rma- ton is construed to charge only one conspiracy, the proof discloses that several alleged conspiracies were shown; (3) the errors committed ir rulings of the court, the charge tc the jury and the refusal to charge affected the rights of the appel. lants; and (G the verdict of the jury is not supported by the record.
 The brief claims that neither Kingsley nor Meany at any time
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-11-19

ent. Shades argument was assigned first today, with Hummel assigned to argue second.
 Within His Rights
 The brief for Leary also makes the point that Leary was within his rights in refusing to put in a de- fense during the trial last year be- cause "he was faced with evidence of bookkeeping irregularities, not in themselves involving fraud, and with the evidence of Williamson, Levy and Mackenzie, all self-con- fessed perjurers."
 Speaking of the judges charge to the jury, Warehouses brief states: We claim that (a) the essence of the crime charged is conspiracy to cheat and defraud the City of Water bury; (b) the judge charged the jury that it should convict the accused on proof of conspiracy to violate certain provisions of General Statutes and City Charter without reference to cheating or defrauding the City; Co the judge further left it to the jury whether the purpose of the alleged conspiracy was to accomplish any of number of unlawful acts; and (dD in charging as set forth in (b) and Co the judge erred"
 Must Have Reliance
 Developing the argument that a controller cannot humanly inves- tigate every financial transaction of the city, Warehouse says in his brief: Bills certified by city off, cials such as the mayor, corporation counsel, superintendent of streets, superinte ntendent of welfare, and school board are too numerous to be investigated by any one man. He has to take somebody's sayso. If the street superintendent certifies that Frankie Burns has delivered 10 tons of trap-rock on Woodrow Wilson street, is it up to the controller to rush out there and weigh it?"
 Warehouses brief also claims that "it is inconceivable" that the accused men could have been in- volved in a conspiracy to chest the city when they were able to reduce the tax rate from AZ mills in 1929 to 31 mills in 1887.
 Following Custom
 Stating that Fleming was not a Hayes appointee, as charged by the state, the brief of Lynch and Hum- mel for the former streets superin- tendent also claims that in ordering Francis c. ODonnell to clean out the closet in the city yard office "he did not knowingly order the con- tents of said closet destroyed for the purpose of concealing the existence of said conspiracy and to prevent its discovery, but was merely fol- lowing a custom pursued by his pre- decessors in office." Moreover, the brief claims, the contents of the closet were merely copies of docu- mentS in the controllers office.
 Other claims made by Fleming s

Man Not Criminal Because He's Human, Claims
 Atty. WaterhOuse
BY GEORGE E. BRIA Democrat Staff RenOfterl

Hartford, Nov. 19-Attorney Fred. erick Warehouse, of New Haven, counsel for former Controller Daniel J. Leary, states in his 52-page brief submitted to the State Supreme Court that "man cannot be a criminal merely because he is hu- man." Atty. Warehouse, whose ar- gument was assigned thir today, declared in his brief that a con.rol- Ter of city as large as Waterbury must rely on other officials for many facts which are humanly impossible for him separately to investigate.
 Warehouses brief emphasizes the keystone of the defense, namely = that the state failed to prove the existence of single conspiracy. This central claim, which is developed in great detail in the general brief filed for all the appellants, is also a main line of argument of Attorney Benjamin Slade for George H Kingsley and John w. Meany, and of Attorneys Albert Hummel and George H. Lynch for Thomas J Fleming, former streets superintend-
