Sentenced to die on the gallows at state’'s prison July 15 after a superior court jury found him guilty of the first degree murder of Lester Jacobs, chain store manager, Feltovic's hope rested in the ef- forts of his attorneys to have the | verdict set aside as contrary to the law, the evidence and the weight of evidence. Defense Lawyer Robert G. De Forest filed motion to set aside the verdict soon after Judge Isaac Wolfe imposed the death sentence, the first since 1921 in Fairfleld county superior court. The defense motion was expected to be argued this week. If rejected, Firestone Gum-Dip Feltovic's lawyers may appeal to the state supreme court of - errors which meets at New Haven. next month, City Items Dr. William F.
