OUIT-CLAIM DEED
 TO BE PRESENTED
Court to Rule of City's AC= ceptance of WatertOWn Avenue Property

/ A quit-claim deed, conveying Wa tertown avenue property of the 1n- Glustrial Properties, Inc, to the City of Waterbury, will be presented a second time for approval of su- perior court at a short calendar session tomorrow.
 i JuGge Frank P. McEvoy last Fri day ruled the disposition of the 76 acres of land should be delayed week to give prospective pur- chasers another opportunity 10 make offers. The jurist at that time pointed to statement made by Atty. Alfred L. Finkelstein, re- ceivey, that the city has no inten- tion to sell the land after it ac- quireS it.
 The Industrial Properties owes the city about $4,00O in taxes, cov- ering the past Il or 12 years. It claims it has been unable to sell the land at a price above the sum owed to the city.
 City officials have expressed 1n- terest in acquiring the land, since it is adjacent to the Municipal sta dium and Brookside Home.

The attorney, who yesterday re- vealed special motion was being drawn up for presentation in the high court, said filing of the papers tomorrow will enable the defense to secure hearing on March 6, the regular motion day of the Supreme Court, which conducts special hear ings on the first Tuesday of each month.
 No estimate is given by the coun- sel in the motion on the amount of money Zukauskas will need to ap- peal to the Supreme Court from the death penalty imposed in superior court by three judges February 8.
 The motion merely asks the Supreme Court justices to instruct the superior court to allow the pub lie defender to take the appeal at the expense of the state. Attached to the motion is stipulation signed by the defense and States Attorney William B. Fitzgerald, stating t hat zukauskas is entirely without funds and can not pay for the appeal him. self.
 The superior court last Friday de- nied defense motion for state funds for the appeal. The high court is not asked by the defense to rule on that denial. It is asked instead to instruct the lower court to allow the use of the state funds.
 Zukauskas is scheduled to die in the electric chair April 20 for the murder of Mrs. Stephanie Plungis on November 1. The defense claims the superior court could reasonably have found him guilty of murder in the second degree, which carries a pen- alty of life imprisonment.
 The new motion will be filed with William A. Bree, New Haven super for court clerk, who handles all Supreme Court motions for New Ha- ven County. It will then be forward ed to Lucius P. Fuller, clerk of the Hartford court.
