Schraitz' Urc service store in Connellsville, was presented by State Senator Anthony Cavalcante, defense counsel. Beasons on which the motion for a new trial and arrest judgment were based included That the verdict of the jury was contrary to law, that it was contrary to the evidence, that the verdict, as to John Langglc, was against the weight of the evidence and not founded upon evidence sufficient to presump- overcome the defendants' tion of innocence Counsel also asked leave to file ad-! ditional reasons within 10 days after notes of testimony have been transcribed. The two defendants were tried last vcck before Judge Hoss Matthews and found guilty by a jury which heard various witnesses called by opposing counsel The crime, for which Langglc and Pustay stood trial, was committed last August 6 when two youths, representing themselves as prospective tire buyers, attacked Schmitz in his service store, relieving him of $65.

Pustay told the jury that on that date he was jn Uniontown having a tooth extracted. His statement was corroborated by Er. Edward Kaplan who, however, was unable to set the exact time of day the defendant appeared in his office. Langglc, who has been on parole tho last four years from Western Penitentiary where ho had been sentenced to a term of five to 10 years for an armed robbery in Homestead, declared he had taken his wife to a Connellsville doctor's office and to do some shoplng on that date Relatives supported his testimony.

He was returned from the latter institution to Fayctte county jaii on February 16 and, on February 27, 1932, was paroled for one year with the understanding he vvould mc-t the heavy fine on the Installment plan DeGardeyn, in his petition, sets forth he is on relief, 13 in ill health and unable to provide properly for his wife and three minor children.
