defendant was allegedly sworn in
as a fully qualified voter. The
charges Of fraudulent voting being
brought against the defendant stem
from the investigation OF city prose-
cutor Albert Hummel, Republican,
whose charges stated that the de-
fendant was made a voter in 1887
two years prior to receipt Of his
final citizenship papers. AS the
statute Of limitation on prosecution
of such charges Is restricted to a
period Of five years charges OF
fraudulent voting are confined to
the alleged voting activities OF the
defendant dating from 1899 to last
falls city elections.
Crowds Anticipated
Tomorrow'S trial opening Is ex.
pected to be heavily attended In
light of the strong defense said to
be scheduled by defense attorney
John H. Cassidy. 1t is expected that
Mr.. Cassidy will conduct his case
along lines Of disproving that
charges Of fraudulent voting by the
defendant are with basis.

court judges both of whom are OF
Republican affiliation. Judge T. E..
Conway who was on the bench the
day the defendant was arraigned
disqualified himself at the time and
Judge Charles r. Summa followed
suit.
The entire matter first came to
light when Republican registrar OF
waters Albert o. Faller informed
Mayor Monagan that as result Of an
anonymous telephone call received
by the registrar, some time after
midnight, he was, following further
pursuit Of the matter, Of the belief
that the then Republican select
man and COP. party district leader
was not a qualified voter. The
Mayor subsequently turned over the
charge to city prosecutor Hummel,
following an interview between the
Mayor and the now defendant the
result Of which was the selectmans
resignation as Republican town
official without admission Of guilt"
Mr.. Faller commended, upon the
notifying the Mayor of the matter,
that he felt that as registrar Of vot-
ers 1t was his duty to press the
matter. He vehemently denied at
the time that there was any question
of political diScord relative to the
issue.
Penalties connected with such a
prosecution are severe, calling for a
fine Of not less than $500 or more
than $500 plus one to two years in
jail plus Acknowledgement Of the
defendant.
It was not expected that tomor-
rows trial would be concluded dur
ing the afternoon session. Attorney
for the defense has implied that
hts preparation will be o f. nature
requiring q lengthy piece Of time.
