BUSH CALLED ON 0 TESTIFY Britain Practitioner in Bcloctic Case New Haven, June 30 (P — The question of whether or not the state board of health had betore it _ the time it revoked the licenses of & number of eclectic doctors at the * request of the state eclectic exam- ining board, the nomination of & Dr. Christian for a place on the , was finally settled today to the satisfaction of counsel for the eclectica. The question of Dr. Christian's nomination had cropped up from time to time throughout the hear- ing of the appeals qf 14 of the ec- . lectics in superior court here before Judge Ernest C. Simpson, and yes- terday Dr. Stanley H. Osborn, state health commissioner, was asked to produce the correspondence on fite on the subject. | This correspondence and the . minutes of a health board meeting ' §n January, 1924, convinced the ap- pellants’ counsel that there was, in fact, & vacancy in the board at the . time and that the health board * had had before it the request of . all the membership of the eclectic ‘board, as requested by law and not of only four or five members. Dr. James W. Bush of New Brit- ain, recalled to the stand at the opening of today’'s session, under- went cross examination at the hands of Special Attorney General James W. Carpenter. Called to the stand on his own ‘behalf, Dr. Roy Long went over again his academic record and tes- tified that at the time he matricu- lated at the Kansas City Dental college in 1910 he was president of the alumni association of a high school in what is now Kansas City, Kas. He denled all knowledge of the “high school equivalent,” in his name which Willlam P. Sachs testi- fied last week was one of those had sold Dr. Adcox for $10 each. He said he had never seen nor known elther Sachs or Adcox until they testified at the hearings here on the appeals. While a student at Kansas City university from 1920 to 1922, he -sald, he taught anaesthesia and was professor of that subject for part of the time. He had taken a course in anaesthetics at a post graduate school previously, he said, and re- . celved a certificate. Attorney Carpenter was unable fo shake his story that he attended Kansas City college from 1916 to 1918 although his name was notl listed among the students in the year 1917-18. While there, he said, there were about 250 students in each of the classes from 12 to 15 professors, part time, and no course | in which he studied had student in- structors. In his first application for examination in this state the Kan- sas Clty college course was not mentioned. In his application tns date of his attendance at Kansas City universdity was given as 1919- 1920, which he testified was an er- .ror in dates. He testified that he did not know that the Kansas City college which he said he attended first 1n 1916, was only incorporated in January of that year. The Dutton Medical school in Chi- ago, from which he had testified to graduating in 1901, Dr. Bush said, was & real medical school and not eclectic, with a “not very large” plant, occupying seven rooms in an office building, and offering resident instruction. Three men were grad- uated In his class, he said, with exer- cises appropriate to the occasion. He said he did not know that the Dutton school was not recognized by ‘“the Illinois board. Several entries on the application he presented in 1920 to take the Connecticut eclectic examinatoin were in hand writing that “looks like Dr. Alexander's,” he testified. Dr. Alexander and Dr. J. 'W. Cotner, the latter one of those whose licenses have been revoked, signed Dr. Bush's certificate for moral character. Dr. Bush testified 1o coming to Connecticut to take the examinations here on the same train but not on the same sleeper as Dr. . Alexander, head of the Kansas City College of Medicine and Surgery. and about a dozen of his pupils and proteges. This was not, he testified, by prearrangement with Dr. Alexan der. . Questions Diploma The diploma issued to Dr. Bush by the Dutton school occasioned some little difficulty when Attorney Car- penter first took it from the frame and then asked permission to take from its back a piece of brown paper pasted through it. He informed the court that he was |leave, but Fritson, fired with produced. The oertificats, Dr. Bush testified yestorday, authorized the practice of chiropratic, electrother- apy, physiotherapy, neuropathy and optometry. CORONER HOLDS TWO MEN AS GUILTY OF MURDER Finding Today in Middletown Case —Accused Must Stand Trial in September Middletown, June 30—John Falbo, of South Norwalk and Paul Ortelli, of Bridgeport, also known as An- gelo Pingitore, were held criminally responsible for the death of Salva- tore Gaetano, of Bridgeport, whose body was found in a peach orchard in Middlefield, May 3rd, by Coroner L. A. Smith today. The men will be brought from Haddam jail tomorrow and present- ed before Justice of the Peace H. H. Lymann and it is expected that they will be bound over for trial without bail until the September term of court over which Judge Rrnest C. Simpson will preside. The coroner in his finding said that Falbo killed Gaetano and Or- telli helped him to take the body in a car and throw it over a stone wall in an orchard. A man who drove the car is missing and is being sought. The complaint against the men will be drawn by Mrs. Lena Green- backer, a grand juror of Middlefield. The state will be represented by State’s Attorney Inglis and the men will have counsel. The police claim- ed to have had a confession from Falbo in which he said that the homicide resulted from a dispute over money matters.

Some of these now have positions which they cannot the spirit of adventure and romance, will surely be one of Byrd's Ant- arctic party if, as is considered a certainty, he is invited. Fritson has already been as far south as the Straits of Magellan, having passed through those trou- bled waters in 1910, so he knows something ot conditions at the “bot- tom” of the earth. The trip pro- posed in the fall will be a much longer one than the three month expedition to the North Pole, he says, being some 25,000 miles as against 10,000 for the previous one. From the southern tip of South America to the nearest point of land on the Antarctic continent is 1,600 mile, while from there to the pole is another 500, he stated. ’ Work with an expedition such as this carries a great thrill to Frit- son, as he feels that he {is doing something worthwhile and, besides seeing and knowing many out-of- the-way places, is contributing to the material advancement of scien- tific knowledge. With Commander Byrd the work is a pleasure, he said, describing the commander as a “fine chap, very soclable, and very much interested in scientific things.” His men “worked their heads off’ for him, according to Fritson, and would gladly do it again for such a genial and inspiring leader.

Dr. Bush referred eral times in the . course of this testimony to the ec- lectic medicine he had “rcad” with “well qualified doctors. Referring to the listing of Dr. Bush as a physician in the Columbus city directory in 1911 and 1912, At- torney Carpenter asked him: “You were not a physician, werc you?" “I was not licensed as such,” the reply. Dr. Bush denied authorizing the listing of his name as a physician in any directory at any time, or knowledge that it had been so list- ed.

Mr. Manning todiy spelled down about 50 members of the club in an old fashjoned spelling bee. The match was the result of tlLe spelling bee held before the Rota-y club un- der the auspices of the Kcrald, May 26, when Miss Marie Hahn became the 1927 city spelling champion. At the meeting today the members were lined up on each ide of the room and were given words from an cight grade list selectcd by L. P. Slade, principal of the senior High school. Mr. Slade was pronouncer at the Herald match also. Past President A. F. Corbin acted as judge. Much to the surprise of everyone, including the Rotarian$, they proved to be falrly good spellers. Many words such as “rhinoceros” proved easy to the Rotarians. Finally one man weat down on “privilege.” Instead of foliowing the rules of the national spelling contest, a word mispelled was given to the next man in line until someone spelled it correctly. Four men went down before one spelled “:mbarrass” correctly. Others went Gown one after the other until the word “ren- aezvous” came along and took seven victims, Closely followirlg this word came the troublesome *dissznsion,” which tcok nine men out of the race, leav- ing only Mr. Manning and H. L. Mills standing. Mr. Mills, being a hardware man and not well versed on fluids, missed on “liquify” and Mr. Manning won the prize, which was a cigar borrowed from Past President Frank H. Shield. The match was in charge of Vice President A. H. Scott. Prior to the spelling bee, Past President A. F. Corbin, Secretary O. Lambert Lord and Treasurer A. A. Mills submitted their annual reports. The report of the treasurer showed that the receipts of the club for the year were $8,895.45 and expendi- tures $8,127.07. Due to the fact that the year started with a substantial balance on hand the club treasury now shows a balance of more than $1,500. George H. Dyson and A. F. Cor- bin were presented with red buttons for a year's perfect att.adance. E, W. Bennett was presented with a blue button for two years' perfect attendance.

The men were placed on seats to- gether to one side of the judge's stand directly in front of the witness stand. Meyer and DeMarco were manacled while handcuffs hung from one of Florian's wrists. During the trip from the Hartford County jail to the Southington court house, Florian had been manacled to Sergeant Lynehan of the state po- lice force. Cashier Olson after answers to the preliminary questions directed at him by Prosecutor CAmp, stated that at about 1:30 o'clock on the after- noon of Wednesday, June 22, he was standing at the door of the back room of the bank which leads into | the main banking room. He was in the teller's cage and upon looking through the window, he saw De- | Marco standing there with a pistol levelled at him. He identified De- Marco as the man, designating him as the “man in the middle.” Identifics DeMarco as Gunman He said that DeMarco ordered | him to put his hands up and he obeyed. There was another man with DeMarco in the bank. DeMarco then came around to the side of the cashier's cage where Olson was standing and said “Mr. Olson, we've been waiting for you for a long time,” the cashier testified. Olson said that with his hands still over his head, he went to the door of the back room where is wife | was, to tell her to keep her hands up because they were being robbd. H said that DeMarco told him to open the safe and he began to obey | the command. He said that he evi- dently did not travel fast enough because DeMarco said to him “Hur- ry up and quit your stalling.” He opened the safe. There was a small bag in the was in it. He answered that there | were several hundreds of dollars | in gold in it. DeMarco took the bag | and also took gold coins from a small tray in the safe. He also took what bills that were in the safe. As DeMarco bicked away, he asked Olson where the bank's guns or pistols were and Olson stated that he answered ‘Over there. Again DeMarco asked him*the ques- tion and again he answered “Over | there.” The pistols were taken and | Olson was ordered, he said, to lie | down on the floor. He started to obey but DeMarco wasn't satisfied with the manner of | his movements and he was ordered to lie so that his hands would be in view. Olso got down on the floor and DeMarco and his companion went out of the teller's cage. As they went out of thé door of the bank, Olson rushed after them | and met a customer coming in. He saw the car which was parked a short way up the street from the bank, go away, and he gave the alarm, Upon questioning, he stated that | the second man had taken the pis- tols. He said $4,436.62 had been stolen. He said that Stewart Florian had been in the bank about 1 o'clock that noon and that the Southington man had cashed a certified check drawn on the New Britain Trust Co., | for § ‘Woman Describes Robbery Mrs. Olson testified that she was in the bank at the time of the rob- bery.

Florian said “What's the matter, Pete?” ano Curtin told him that there had been a robbery at the bank. He told Florian to get in his car and follow the one the bandits had left in. He said that Florian had his car in & parking space near ithe station and Florian ran to it, |got in and followed the other car. State Police Sergeant Walter A. Lynehan stated that he was or- dered to Plantsville and Bristol on June 22. He stated that he was put on the investigation of the holdup |at the Plantsville National bank and 1 he was still on the case. He testified that he had been at |scene where the car in which the bandits had ridden into the woods about Grannis' Lake and been aban- doned. He described the car and aid there were no markers on ft. He said that he had since found the plates and Meyer had told him they had taken them off the car. He talked with the three men in the presence of each other and in the presence of other state policemen. Meyer told him that he had come from Chicago with DeMarco, mak- ing the trip in the same automo- bile in which they went away from the bank. He said that Meyer stated that they had arrived in Meriden at § o'clock Sunday night, June 19, the Sunday previous to the robbery. Meyer told him, the sergeant stated, that they stayed in Meriden until Tuesday and then went to Southing- ton where they camped Tuesday night at Grannis’ Lake. They re- turned to Meriden Wednesday and returned about noon to Plantsville. Florian Implicated Meyer told him, he testified, that they met Florian and as a result the bank was held up. Meyer drove the car and did not leave it. He did not enter the bank. His companions were in the place about five minutes and when they came back to the car, he drove to the woods. There the three divided the money and separ- ated, each going in a different direc- tion. The sergeant stated that he had talked wth Florian in the Bristol police station, at the Hartford bar- racks of the state police, in the Hartford jail and on another occa- sion. Florian denied any participa- tion in the crime r told the sergeant, it was d, that it was at the instiga- tion of Florian that he got DeMarco and the other man and came to Plantsville to rob the bank. Florian ‘was with them Sunday night, Tues- day and on the day of the robbery. Meyer stated also that Florian had lived in Chicago and at one time had roomed with him. As a result, both decided to go into business to- gether selling a no leak eompound for automobile tires.

He didn't get any letters from any of the ac- cused men to each other. Judge Degnan’ found a probable cause in the cases of the three men and bound them over to the Sep- tember term of the superior court which opens the third Tuesday of the month. Attorneys Lustfield and Wholean remonstrated with the court over the amount of the bonds being placed at $50,000 saying that the men had a constitutional right to have their bonds fixed at a reason- able amount but that $50,000 was beyond reason and meant that they could not get bail, but Judge Deg- nan replied that the amount would stand. The three men were driven in an automobile from the Hartford county jail and returned the same way with a strong guard of state po- licemen about them. The detail was in charge of Sergeant Lynehan and consisted of Policemen Smith, ‘Phelph, Kelly and. Honeyman. The three were closely guarded all through the TNearing.
