Y, July 28.— ‘The defense hammered today at the story of a Government witness that three of eight men on trial for the 1933 kidnaping of John J. Connell, Jr. attended New York City meetings ealled to plan the abduction. A Government witness, Ignatius J. Gannon, New York City detective, con- tradicted defense testimony previously given by Tony Reino—Clinton Prison | convict—and was subjected to severe eross-examination. He identified Manning Strewl, John Oley and Percy Geary, three defend- ants, as among those he saw enter the New York City home of Sol Shep- nick, where, the Government contends, O'Connell's abduction was plotted, “three or four times in February, 1933."

Mr. Balfe’s trap pass after East's opening diamond bid was in the ap- proved modern manner. He hoped to inflict a substantial penalty. When West's one no-trump response Was passed around to him, Mr. Balfe doubled, whereupon West quickly res- cued himself at two diamonds. Then, when North made a free bid of two spades, Mr. Balfe made a good gam- bling bid of three no-trump and se- cured the contract.
