 Faces Sentence By Judge Smith

Joseph H. Polish of Waterbury and New ork was found guilty by a Federal Court jury in Hartford yesterday of conspiracy and de- struction of records of Leeds Furs, Inc, of Waterbury, but not guilty on charge of concealing assets of the firm. The jury returned its verdict at 7:30 P. M., after delibera- ting three and a half hours.
 Judge J. Joseph Smith assigned hearing for Monday morning on the defendants motion to set aside the verdict.
 The charges arose after the F. B. I. made an investigation following bankruptcy proceedings involving the local firm.
 Judge Smith in his charge told the jury that in order to return a verdict of guilty it must find that the accused committed the alleged crimes prior to the start of the bankruptcy proceedings. The trial lasted four days.
 Polish was president of the Waterbury firm. Another officer, Abraham Englebach, also of New York, previously pleaded guilty and is now awaiting sentencing.
