News of the World By Associated Press ESTABLISHED 1870 SHIPPEE._ASSERTS GOVERNOR FAVORED GRAND JURY PROBE Trambull “Highly Approved” Plan, Says Witness in Egan Trial BANK COMMISSIONER TELLS OF CONFERENCE Mecetings With Executive Followed Sevcond Examination of Books of Watkins Concern, He Declares— Describes Visit to Alcorn for Pur- pose of Discussing Affairs of Broker's Enterprises. Hartford, April 11 (UP)— William E Egan, Hartford lawyer accused of complicity in the stock frauds of his law client, Roger W. Watkins, con- victed broker, testitied this after- noon in his own defense hefore Superier Court Judge Isaac Wolfe. Egan declared all claims of disgruntled clients of Watkins which he handled were settled before he was associated with the broker as counsel. Previous witnesses had testified Egan was lawyer for Watkins at the same time he accepted retain- ers fo prosecute fraud actions against Watkins. Hartford, April 11 (#— Gov H. Trumbull “highly approved” a suggestion made to Lim jointly by State’'s Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn and Bank Commissioner Leste: E. Ship- pee that the affairs of the National Associated Tnvestors, Inc., be laid be- fore a grand jury, it was testified to by Shippee today in the trial of Wil- liam E. Lgan, attorney, charged with criminal conspiracy. This conference with the governor followed the sec- ond examination of the books of the concern by the state banking depart- ment in which the administration of Roger W. Watkins was found to be badly “muddled.” Commissioner Shippee had called upon Alcorn to discuss the condition of affairs in the Watkins enterpriscs and at first they had thought it would be best to close up the N tional Associated Investors by civil process. Then they decided that the whole matter ought to go to a grand jury, so both went to sce the gov- crnor and laid before him the report N. A. L officers had made. In this conference the suggestion was made that a grand jury be call- ed to make the inquiry rather than depend upon a civil suit. Governor Trumbull said he highly approved of this action and shortly after Alcorn took matters in hand, it was testified. Statc Rests Its Ca: State's Attorney Alcorn rested the state’s case against Egan with the close of cross cxamination of Detee- tive Hickey late ycsterday.
