 Tops Cops Trial
(NEA Telephoto)
(By ANNE ZEMAITIs)

A blood-Stained tan cardigan sweater, to small to have belonged to 145-pound Stephanie Plungis staying victim of November 1, was among the garments found in a hole off Spring Lake road November 4, iteWaS disclosed in superior court today as surprised crowd of spec tators looked on.
 The woman's garment, whose ownership was left for identiflca- ton later in the trial, was unfolded by States Attorney William B. Fitz- gerald while Coroner Stephen Ho- mick was on the witness stand. It immediately became the leading mystery of today's session in the first degree murder trial of Fran cis ZukauskaS.
 Mrs. Edna Zukauskas, slim wife of the accused, bent forward in her chair and fumbled for her pag when the stained garment was identified as being among the items found together with clothing of Mrs Plungis. Further testimony will re- veal the sweater was owned by the wife of the accused, 1t was learned.
 The strang article was brought into the murder case as the state began to wind up it's testimony aim- ed to send Zukauskas to the elec- tric chair.
 Several friends of the accused who were with him on the afternoon oP fha ula Ui1,u ,unra ntnnr,u tho Ioroo number of witnesses called to the stand today. Technical testimony by police officers on the guns and bull lets used in the staying featured the session in the latter part of the morning.
 State Not Finished
 Indications were that, contrary to original expectations, the state would not complete It's case today, but would go into part of next Tuesdays session.
 The puzzling sweater was offered merely for Identification purposes when the coroner took the stand. Tan. with pearl buttons down in front, the garment appeared to be about size 32. Its right sleeve, inside out and partly torn off, was coated with blood stains.
 Indications were .ne state will try to show the garment was obtained from Mrs. Zukauskas shortly after Mrs, Plungis was shot and was used to wrap around the injured woman.
 Patrolman Anthony Mole, who testified he was present when the garments on Spring Lake road were found, said the Sleev. was inside out when the sweater was removed from the hole.
 Mildred Partiss. raticn board worker, testified she saw Zukauskas at the ration headquarters Nov. l, between and ID. m., when he came in to ask for a ration allotment for mems rubbers.
 Anton Tore of 199 Charles street, barber. said he gave Zukauskas a haircut Nov. at about l:30 D. m. at his Bank street shop at 80. He said there was little conversation and denied Zukauskas had talked about Stephie Plungis or any woman.
 The barber and subsequent wit nesses all testified Zukauskas was sober when they saw him that after noon.

Good Shepherd Church
To Hold Annual Service

This Sunday evening, at o'clock
the Church of the Good Shepherd
will again hold the special Epipha-
ny service, commonly called the
Feast of Lights This is the serv-
ice commemorating the Visit of the
Wise Men to the Christ Child. The
Wise Men came bearing gifts of
Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh.
The service is one of stately pag-
entry, beginning with the offering
of the Wise Men, spotlighted be-
fore the Congregation in a darken-
ed CHURCH, marching to the altar
singing the well known Epiphany
hymn, I'VE Three Kings of Orient
Are A brief service of evening
prayers follows, climaxed with the
traditional Candle Lighting Rit-
ual'. Every person in the church
is given a candle, which is lighted
from the single lighted candle ON
the altar. This symbolizes the
spreading of the light of the Chris
tan Faith, from its humble be-
ginning in Bethlehem, throughout
the world.
This service has been held an
nually for thirty years in the

pie from all churches throughout

time economy.
But if women can work out a
plan whereby one hat, passed
around among several war wives
or several neighbors gives them
all a lift, there would be money
saved that could 60 into war
bonds.
FEW COMPLICATIONS
The plan ought not to be too
difficult in these times, either.
For most women don't nave as
many chances to go out and show
off new hat, coat, or dress as
they used to. Their big occasions
are few and far between, either
because a husband or fiance is in
service, or because there just
aren't enough eligible men in most
towns and cities to give even the
prettiest girls a rush.
OF course, there might be a few
complications in such plan-but
no more than in any other pro-
ject where several prisons start
out on a cooperative venture.
In fact fur coat pool ought not
to cause any more hard feelings
than car pool.
