Lonergan Case Halls
In Uproar as Judge
Considers MistriaI
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Mar. 2.-Wayne
Lonergan's explosive trial on a
charge of Staying his wife was ad-
journed in an uproar today over a
prosecution demand which Judge
John j. Freschi said might result in
a mistrial.
In the stormiest session to date,
Assistant District Attorney Jacob
Grumet demanded that the special
jury panel be dismissed because of
newspaper stories which he charged
were inspired by defense counsel in
after court hours.
Defense Attorney Edward Brod-
erick had made a similar request at
the opening of the trial Monday and
Mr.. Grumet asked that the jurist
reopen the matter and reconsider
the original request.
Judge Freschi recessed the trial
until l0:30 am. tomorrow to give
himself time to decide whether he
had legal authority to declare a mis-
trial. He said he would take the
step if he decided he had legal
precedent.
Seeks to Restore Order.
Lonergan. sitting quietly at the
defense table, went virtually un-
noticed as the attorneys shouted
charges at each other, while the
judge, also flushed and angry
sought to restore order.
Mr.. Broderick asserted that the
assistant district attorney wanted
the panel dismissed because District
Attorney Frank Hogan was dis
satisfied with the manner in which
the prosecution was being conducted
and intended to take Mr.. Grumet
out of the case.
That's a deliberate lie" Mr.
Grumet shouted as he leaped to his
feet. Il have discussed the matter
fully. with Mr.. Hogan and he ap-
proves of my conduct and what
am doing here today"
Undaunted, Mr.. Broderick as
serted that "Mr. Grumet knows he
has lost his case" and ait is un.
precedented that the white flas
should be thrown up here"
Turning to the judge, and point.
ing a finger at Mr.. Grumet, the de.
fense attorney pleaded: Don't le
them short-circuit me, judge"
Sees No Reason for Mistrial.
Mr. Grumet said after the brie1
but fiery session that he did no
believe dismissal of the talesmer
would result in a mistrial.

than at any time in the war;" he
declared.
This means two things: Our
planes and pilots are improving. and
the caliber of the Japanese Air Force
is not as good as it was"
Comdr. Stassen termed the Amer
lean conquest of Saipan great ac-
complishment and paid high tribute
to carrier pilots and crews who
performed vastly beyond expecta-
tion,'" in defeating the enemy air
fleet and routing his naval forces in
the June 1920 scrap.
II don't think any force could
have stopped our attacking troops
on Saipan ITSELF" the commander
said.
Comdr. Stassen said he had every
confidence in the American invasion
of Guam although it is we'll forti-
fed and the Japanese have had IN
years to dig in there"
The advance operations were
thorough" he said, and we are
operating under a good plan. have
full confidence in the force we put
ashore.
