 The late Miss Nellie Burke, age 66, of Thomaston, victim of the most brutal attack and murder in the entire history of this state has been laid to rest, but the memory of the crime which claimed her life will live on for years and years.
 We could go on and rewrite the entire case history of this murder but there have been many stories published which covered most of the facts and details.
 However, in passing over the case history of this flendish attack and murder 1t might be well to reflect for 8 moment on the fear. stark staring fear, which must have been in the mind of Miss Burke as she turned back onto the highway and into the hands of her murderer, after being refused admittance to the home of a woman with whom she pleaded.
 Realized Danger
 It is a known fact now that Miss Burke, aged and defenseless, real ized the man following her along the dark and deserted highway meant to do her harm. In an at tempt to get away from him she knocked on the door of a house along the highway and pleaded to be granted admission. When these efforts failed she was forced to walk back to the highway and into the hands of her assailant What thoughts, what unspeakable fear, must have been clutching at this wcman's heart at that moment will never become known to us, but this we know, she fought valiantly for her life.
 It will be well to reflect on the fact that man living nearby, heard the cries for help, took down his shotgun and started in the di- rect!on from which the cries came, only to lose his nerve and return to his home, safe and sound, while within 200 yards woman was being slain.
 He didn't even fire his shotgun into the air. He called a constable who in turn drove right past the scene of the crime, perhaps even while the attack was taking place, and went to the town of Terryville to seek additional help.
 Yes, We could also write about the petty jealousy of certain off cials who have claimed the credit for the capture of the culprit, jeal- ousy which should never have any place at times when murder or criminal attack has been done.
 The people of the state can feel confident in the fact that we have one of the finest and most effective state police departments in the en- tire country. We can feel never ending sense of confidence In the commissioner of the state police Edward J. Hickey.
 That Is all we have to say about the "rehash" of the attack and mur- der which took the life of one of Thomaston's best known residents.
 But this question we do ask: Why was this murderer allowed to walk the streets and highways free man?
 The unprintable reputation of Peter Gursky. the confessed at- tacker and murderer was well known to the authorities. Yet, 1t is appar- ent that these same authorities failed miserably in their responsi- bility to society by allowing this man to walk the streets free, to at- tack and kill. Perhaps the trial will bring out the fact that crinl- inal attacks were nothing new tc this man.
 Consider this fact for moment! When certain offlc'als saw the tody of the unfortunate victim lying

the result of misunderstanding.
 Judge Gaffney commented that 1t was upon his orders that all spec- tators were removed from his chambers during a hearing on an indecent assault case. He said that Ofiser Garvey was following iIl- structions and Swirsky misunder- stood because, as bondsman in the case he believed his place was in the courtroom.
 "The officer was of one mind and he was of another" said Judge Gaffney in granting a nolle in the case.
 A jail mittimus was ordered in the case of John Carlson. 28, of 34 Woodb'ne street, who was fined 8 and costs on charge of breach of peace Monday. He was given until today to make payment.

Thomaston Residents Shocked Ouer Crime Recent Murder of Miss Nellie Bourke Topic of Discussion - Details of Attack Become
 Known = Previous Record of
 Accused Recalled

along side the highway, their first thought was that the only person who could possibly commit such a crime was one Peter Gursky.
 Why?
 Because these officials were well acquainted with his past record Why then was he allowed to remain free? Why was he never commit ted to an institution? Had our off, cials performed their rightful duty Peter Gursky would not have been able to committee this attack and murder.
 Only a short time before Gursky committed the murder, he was ar rested in Terryville for an imprint able crime, and allowed to go free. This crime, with which he was then charged, was sufficient to send him into one of our institutions.
 Already there are those weak lingS who have said "Gursky was insance," Bunk! He had sense enough to leave the scene of his crime and yet sense enough not to go too far away, less suspicion might be cast upon him.
 If our officials are not capable of getting a conviction 1t might be well if petitions were started urg- ing the governor to send Atty. Hugh M. Alcorn here to prosecute this murderer.
 There have been unprintable acts committed in Thomaston within a year or so. Yet the persons who committed these unprintable crimes were never brought to trial. Why?
 Let us hope there will not be a repetition of Gursky's crime.
 A sex maniac can never be cured. The only place for him Is in an in- stitution, behind huge, safe, re- straining walls of steel, rock and granite.

CIO PROTESTING
 NEW ORDINANCE
Rights of Labor" May Be ObstruCted By License
 Fee Requirement

Opposition to the licensing re- quirements of the new anti-noise ordinance developed in CIO union circles today as Mayor Vincent A. Scully prepared to place his sigma ture on the municipal regulation. A CIO delegation made an appoint ment to confer with the mayor on the ordinance tomorrow morning, shortly before the city's chief execu- tive receives an engrossed copy of the ordinance for signing.
 The ordinance, introduced two years ago by Aldermanic President John S. Monagan, was unexpectedly brought out of committee at an al- dermanic meeting Monday night and passed. It places control of sound and noise making devices in the hands of the superintendent of police and requires permits for the use of sound trucks and outdoor loudspeaker systems. Should the mayor sign 1t tomorrow, it would then have to be published, becom- ing effective seven days after pub lication.
 Al Skinner, director of the mem bership drive being conducted by the Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers union at the Scovill Mfg. Co.,. told the mayors secretary, John P. Fftzmaurice, that the licensing clause would interfere with the rights of labor. This part of the ordinance requires payment of a $5 fee for each day that a sound truck is used for announcements fin the public interest" The fee for trucks making commercial an- nouncements is set at $l5 daily.
 It is believed that the mayor, in view of the aldermanic approval of the ordinance, will affix his sigma ture despite the opposition of union groups.
