Dty Tty Mg B by Inge P Waterbury, Oct. 31 UP—The state | rested its case against Louis N. Leo- pold whe is on trial for his life in superior court at 12:50 this after- noon. Mtate's Attorney Lawrence L. Lawis rested after Judge Carl Foster again refused to allow in testimony of Detective Sergeant Henry John- son pertaining to a talk he had with Leopold a few days after his arrest on insurance matters and also when the court would not allow in evi- | dence connected with the alleged identification of Leopold by Shell- | nits at the New Haven hospital a day or two after the fire. Objection Upheld Earlier this morning the court sustained the objection of the defense counsel, Attorney John H. Cassidy, | to evidence of Hemer J. Filley on the appraisal of the stock in the | store which was burned as viewed by | him on February 16. The court al- | lowed the witness to tell the jury- | men that the furniture was medium | grade but would not allow in any evidence as to the quantity or value. The testimony this morning was | for the most part of a drab nature and proved extremely uninteresting to the smallest attendance that has | been present at any trial to date. Less than a dozen people were in | court when the session opened and | not more than a score of spectators were present at any time. 61 Witnesses The state used nine days in the | presentation of its case against Leo- | pold. During this time the state | placed 61 witnesses on the stand. This morning most of the testimony pertained to the rebuilding of the structure partly demolished by the | disaster of February §, in which QWD{\ children, John and Joseph Moyni- | han, and Samuel Welss were burned | ! scene of the accident, but no word | Moeting ‘There will be an important meet- ing of the democratie town commit- tee tomorrow evening at the Amerl- can Legion hall in Kensington at § o'clock.

ATTENPTS 10 IDPNTIFY DRIVER OF DEATH CAR Platuville Coustable Takes Up In- vestigation When State Police Fail to Show Speédd, (Special to the Herald) Plainville, Oct. $1 — Failure of | the state police to make any report ; on the identity of the driver of the second car which ran over and in- flicted fatal injuries upon Robert E. | Lydon of Milford, Mass., on October | 22 has led Constable George Schu- | bert to initiate an independent search for the “hit-and-run” motor- | ist. Immediately after the accident E. B. Barker of West Harttord, who was driving the first car to strike Lydon, reported the registration number of the other car to Schu- | bert, who turned the information | over to the state police. The ma- | chine bore New Jersey markers. | The local officer notified the state | police on Iriday that Lydon's condi- | tion was scrious and yesterday he in- formed them of the man's death. | Yesterday afternoon they took meas- | urements and photographs of the | has been received as to the identity of the Jersey autoist. Schubert has therefore written to New Jersey and is seeking to obtain information independently in order that he may take action if the state authorities do mnot, His investigation is merely a cor- roborative one, and at present defin- ite word from the state police is be- ing awaited before anything is done.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1028, | ROBINSON GRUSOE'S ISE 15 POPULAR Proves Yeritable Fairyland for Science ‘Washington, Oct. 31 (P—Part of the setting for many of the world's most dramatic true stories of re- mance and adventure, “Robinson Crusoe's island,” Juan Fernandes, also has proved to be one of the happiest hunting grounds of sci- ence. Although miles west of Valparaiso, Chile, flaura and 'fauna bear little refeue blance to those of the neighboring New World cont.nent, but are re- lated in the main to species which are found only in such distanve places as New Zealand, Australla, and South America. Some, indeed, the flourishing survivals of a past geological cra which have perishea in practically all other parts of the earth. The theory is that this island, in some remote period before the pre ent riggrous climatic conditions b gan to develop on the Antarctic continent, was pagt of a more oOr less continuous reach of land which probably stretched across the South Pole and included those distant Ola World regions to which it is moar closely related in plant and animal life. New evidence in support of rested largely on botanical studies, this theory, which heretofore has has been brought back to Washing- on by Dr. Waldo L.

C. Lewis and Jacob Ber- man, central figures ip the Julian Petroleum Corp., fallure, today found themselves facing the pros- pect of prison terma. Convicted last night in federal court of using the mails to defraud ;An connection with the financing of ithe Lewis Oil Co., Lewis on eight {counts and Berman on seven, they can be sentenced to prison terms of |five years and fined $1,000 on each count. Sentencing of the two men and their co-defendant, Clarence O. | St"ppe, convicted on one count, was set for Monday. Prior to their conviction in feder- al court, Lewis and Berman had un- |dergone a five month trial in su- | perior court on charges of conspil |acy to violate the state corporate securities act in the frensied finan- cing of the Jullan Petroleum cor- poration. With several co-defend- |ants they were acquitted. | The government contended that |an issue of gold notes was sold | throughout a dozcn states and sev- eral Canadian provinces, accom- panied by false promises of a $30 {bonus within 30 days for each $100 invested.

Even petting parties were not unknown, but had different names —bundling, for instance. “New England in the seventeenth century,” writes Professor Law- rence in *The Not-Quite Puritans,” “was probably no more olesome than it is in the twentieth.” The seventeenth century, he says, #pecializsed in repression and as a result had coquettes, fops and nar- row escapes from breach of prom- ise suits to contend with, Within a dosen years or o after the scttlement of Massachusetts began, the flirtation problem had become so serious that the fathera felt constrained to pass a law for curbing “the osrnicious habits of unauthorized courtship.” In fact. ! the waywardness of youth was such that in 1713 the Rev.
