Hartford, Oct. § (A—The appeal |of Gerald Chapman from the judg- ment of the superior court of first degree murder for the killing of Po- liceman James Skelly of New Brit- ain on Oct. 12, 1924, was concluded in the supreme court of errors today when the arguments for the state were made. State's Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn | reminded the court that, though 57 assignments of error had originally \been made in the appeal, all had been discarded but 13, and he pro- ceeded to reason that the 13 did not constitute a basls for a new trial. Mr. Alcorn opened his argument at 10 o'clock, when court resumed fol lowing the recess Thursday after- noon. Remarks Chapman's Eyes Mr. Alcorn declared that not a real legal question had been ralsed by the defenss In its appeal for a new trial. “They do not even con- tend that their client was not gullty of the crime charged,” he told the court. In the course of his remarks, the state's attorney asserted that Chapman's eyes cannot be matched re, and sald he had never seen anything like them. When the session opened none of |the counsel for the defendant was | present. State's Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn and his assistant, R. L. Gid- con, were In thelr places. The court waited a few moments for the ap- pearance of Attorneys Nathan O. Freedman and Charles W. Murphy. Alcorn Claims Errors . Alcorn told the court that the appeals, the brief and other docu- ments filed by the defendant were replete with errors in their quota- |tions and citations, and he thought more care should have been exer- clsed in the preparation of the doc- uments. He called the attention of the court to the fact that the fourth point of alleged error, which claimed the verdict of the jury was against the evidence, had been passed over by Mr. Freedman in argument Mr. Alcorn teferred to the de- cision of the supreme court in the Cianflone case (Renaldino murder), in which the court declined to set aside the verdict of murder in the second degree, and went even fur- ther to say the verdict would not have been set aside had the verdict been returned for the charged “The nce in the Chapman ase is twenty-fold stronger than in case,” sald Mr. Alcorn.

Trumbull had an engage- ment at the Danbury falr today and he kept it even though it was nec- essary for him to make an airplane landing in a fleld in Newtowpn and finish his trip to this city by auto- moblle. The governor started by the. air route from Hartford with Major Talbot O. Freeman as his pllot. The plane ran into a storm when entering the Naugatuck valley and in order not to lose time Major Freeman made a Janding in a small fleld some distance above the dam at Stevenson. The governor and the major hied themselves to a farm house where an automobile was ob- talned so that the trip to Danbury could be made without delay to the former, Denfes Forced Landing Major Freeman says that the plane was uninjured, that the landing was not a forced one, and that neither the governor nor himself experi- enced even a shake up. The major sald that the start from Hartford was made all right but when half way on the journey the storm was proving to be worse than had been anticipated. A course was lald to akirt the storm to the southward but when over Ansonia, it was deetied best to try for Danbury rather than to fly off to get around the storm The governor might have been very much delayed, in keeping his engagement the major sald =0 the course was made up the Housatonla river. The flying conditions were worse 80 a fleld was picked out for a laudti g which was -afely done The fleld, however, is 85 small that it would be impossible to take off for a flight so & truck from Hart- ford will pick up the plane, A previous rtory filed frem the town of Monroe had stated that {he governor's plane had crashed in a pasture and even described in detail the nature of the fall from which both occupants emerged uninjured. This dispatch, telling of the in- cldent, quoted an alleged eye witness, Woman Describes Crash People who saw the plane fiying low, apparently to avold rain clouds, noticed that something was wrong. according to the early dispateh which also said: One woman, a mile away from the spot where the wrecked plane was found after the crash, said that it seemed to come down and then “bounded into the air again,” flying |another half mile before it dropped finally to the ground. She hurried in her automobile to the scene but by the time she arrived there the two men in the plane had made their way to the road and had been picked up by a passing automobtle.
