My- wife jumped off the Green' Lodge Bridge in front of a train, Magaletta said Spokesfleld told him.

With Chief George McGilly, Magaletta then accompanied Spokesfield, who drove his own car to the bridge. He said Spokesfield pointed out the spot on the bridge railing where he claimed his wife jumped. Spokesfields father, Fernald Spokesfield, meanwhile arrived and helped to search the south-bound (towards Providence) tracks and right of way. Only a shoe was discovered. While they wer searching, word was brought that the.

body had been discovered on the engine of a train in Boston and Magaletta and the chief accompanied Clifford Spokesfield tor Boston, where he identified the body, and then returned with him to Westwood Police Station. On the following day Magaletta said he again talked to Spokesfield, who repeated the story of his wife jumping from the bridge, adding details about driving to restaurants and drinking beer. Under cross-examination, just before the noon recess, Atty John W. Newman, counsel for Spokesfield, drew from Magaletta the admission that he had forgotten to state that he first saw Clifford Spokesfield on the night of his wifes death in the Fernald Spokesfield house and that Clifford and his mother were both crying, while Clifford cried out, I wish I had gone over the bridge instead of Marie.

He said it was raining and misty aSid he had to keep cleaning the wind shield of the cab with waste. Just as he approached Green Lodge bridge, the engineer testified, his lights were dimmed by the conflicting beams of a south-bound train.

At the Back Bay Station Boston his attention was called to the headless body of a woman lying on the catwalk of the engine. He covered it with canvas, he testified, and proceeded to South Station. Graves identified a photograph as repre senting the body when he first saw it lying on the engine. Joseph M. Kelley, captain of the N.

Y. N. H. H. Railroad police, testified that he was at the South Station when the Senator pulled the body of the woman still on the catwalk of the engine.

He said that he observed that the number plate of the engine was bent and the headlight glass broken above the place where the body lay.

After driving back to the restaurant, Spokesfleld returned to talk with Nolfi, afterward driving his wife by the most direct route to the bridge, where.

Dewing opened the prosecution when the jury assembled in court following a brief walk after breakfast, the jury having passed the night in Courthouse lodgings. The first witness was Hartley White, county engineer, who explained maps of the scene of the alleged murder and of routes, traversed by the Spokesfield automobile. Seven other witnesses were sworn in by the prosecution. Tells What Spokesfield Said A policeman who for four years had been a friend of Spokesfield was forced to take the stand as a Gov-ernment withness against his chum.

Amelio Magaletta, Westwood police officer, had to repeat the words of young Spokesfield at Green Lodge Bridge, while they sought for the young wifes body in the mist ol a September midnight: Do you think theyve got me? Magaletta testified Spokesfield asked. What makes you say that? was Magalettas counter query. I imagine they will think so, the police officers quoted Spokesfield as replying. Magaletta testified that he boarded at a house next to the Spokesfield home. He said he was recalled by a blinker signal and went to his home to telephone the police officer WALSH ON TRIAL FORMURDER Ainley System of Picking Jurors Used OFFICER DYING, MANJMDED Tragic Running Gun Fight at New Haven, Conn WASHINGTON, March 5 (A.

The American Legion today leveled a vigorous assault on the Patman bill for bonus payment, contending that the currency expansion featured of the measure would doom to defeat cash payment of the adjusted compensation certificates. The Legion representatives appeared before the House Ways and Means Committee after the committee, in a heated discussion, rejected, 14 to 6, a Republican motion Ao call upon the Treasury and Veterans Administration for an expression of their attitude toward bonus payment. John Thomas Taylor, Legislative representative of the Legion, opened the attack on the currency expansion features of the Patman bill by saying: The American Legion does not -want its legislation for payment of the adjusted compensation certificates tied to any other type. We do not want a stone tied around our bill that will drag it down to defeat. I have canvassed the Senate pretty carefully, Taylor replied.

The Vinson bill," he testified, is the only bill that carries out the mandate of the American Legions convention at Miami with no entangling alliances. Beside denying the contention of Representative Patman, Dem, of Texas, that the Patman bill would be approved by two-thirds of the House and of the Senate enough to override a veto Taylor said believe the Vinson bill can pass the Senate and will be enacted into law. Treasury and Veterans Administration officials had advised the committee they did not wish to testify on the bonus unless the committee specifically desired it. Belegrano Supports Taylor Frank N. Belgrano Jr, American Legion commander, followed Taylor, endorsing his arguments and refusing to suggest the method of raising the money to pay the bonus.

Representative Cooper, Dean, of Tennessee, who had been nonebmmit-tal on whether he favored the Patman or Vinson bill, interrupted Belgrano to remark that the Patman bill twice had passed the House, but time had failed to get through the Senate. He added that it seemed the question was whether bonus advocates should continue to run up a blind alley or try a new method. Assuming that the Patman bill should become a law, would you be willing for the veterans to aceept the money? Hill asked Belgrano. I think your question answers itself, Belgrano replied. I believe the veterans want the money and I dont believe they care much how they get it.

Even More Controversial There is some talk about the Patman bill making changes in the monetary system, Hill remarked. What about that? It is a disputed point, Belgrano replied, and the Legions attitude is, why get involved in a bill that is even more controversial than the thing je advocate? Have you given any consideration to the cost? The Patman bill will save about $600,000,000, said Repres Lam-neck, (Dem, Ohio). I heard that stated yesterday, Mr Belgrano replied, adding that it was not his job to consider comparative costs but simply to work for payment of the certificates. Legion Didn't Tell How to Get Money The Legion witnesses indorsed the Vinson bill, which does not specify how the money to pay the two-bil-lion-dollar bonus should be raised. The Patman bill calls for the issuance of new currency.

How would you finance the Legion bill? askfd Representative Me-Cormack, Dem, of Massachusetts. The Appropriations Committee of the House would pass on that, Mr Taylor replied. And it is the job and prerogative of the Secretary of the Treasury to decide that. Do you favor two billion dollars in new taxes? Its a perfectly unfair question. In other words, McCormack: pursued, you come up here and tell us you want the bonus paid and have nothing to say about how it should be paid? Its correct, Taylor answered.

Judge Brown invoked the Ainley system of selecting jurors under which each juror is isolated after his selection, so others in the panel cannot know what questions are asked in the selecton process. The State contends that Walsh shot McLain when the policeman tried to arrest the defendant in connection with a prior robbery case. ALTON M. TUTTLE DIES IN FLORIDA MELROSE.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. March 5 (A. Patrolman Walter Koella, 83. of the New Haven police was shot, probably fatally, today and a man held by the police as responsible for the shooting was wounded in the left leg by Officer John Kelly, Ko-ella's companion in a running gun ght in the Dixwel-av section here. At Grace Hospital, where he was taken after the shooting, the civilian gave his name as John Sienboski, 23, ef West Haven.

Four physicians worked unceasingly over patrolman Koella in St Ra-phale's Hospital in an effort to save l.fe. but they admitted there could be but small hope. He was shot twice, one bullet pasing through a lr.ug and the other through the right side of his heart. The shooting occurred after the officers had been tipped that a burglary was in progress. They commandeered an automobile after leaving the scene of the supposed burglary attempt and armed with an accurate description of the suspect, gave chase upon seeing Sienboski a few blocks away, they said.

The man broke into a run and the officers gave chase. Kelly loct his footing and fell, but Koella continued on. to be joined later by his companion. The man began firing at the officers and when Kelly again caught up witHF Koella the latter was sprawled on the ground, wounded. Kelly, meanwhile, had returned the gunfire and a bullet from his pistol struck Sienboski in the leg.

bringing him down. Sienboski was taken to St Raphaels hospital on a stretcher, shortly after he was admitted to Grace hospital, and there identified fcv Patrolman Koella as the man who Shot him. He was then returned to Grace hospital. placed under heavy police guard and subjected to severe ques-t-omng. The gun fight took place at 11 a nd concluded in an alley on Sherman av.

Patrolmen Koella and Kelly had nswered a summons to the home of Frank M. Moran on Harding place en a report of a burglary attempt there.

Sam Hill, Dem, cf Washington, either will have to issue bonds not realize it was a bullet until he reached his home at 103 Charles st and undressed for bed.

He put on his clothes again and walked to the Massachusetts General Hospital where the bullet was extracted. Roy Gardner of 121 Beacon st gave the police their first notification that the quiet Back Bay neighborhood was being shot He telephoned he had just heard two shots. Police on arrival found that the window in the basement kitchen had been shattered while Jonas A. Ollson, caretaker, sat at the table repairing a Ollson had taken the shooting calmly. Police found ih his room an old revolver which Ollson said had not been fired for years.

All-night police search of the Public Gardens-Beacon st area failed to produce any clews to the mysterious gunman who planted a bullet in the thigh of Clarence M. Weems Jr, 27, as he walked on Dartmouth st, and fired two shots through the window of the lodging house at 121 Beacon st between 10 and 11 last night. Although Mrs Doris Sherman, 15 Marlboro st, told police that she saw, through her rear window overlooking the alley between Marlboro and Beacon sts, a bareheaded man running after she heard two shots, police found no one of the description when they arrived to search. Weems did not know he had been shot at first. He felt a pain but did you or levy taxes.

It's not the point, Taylor replied. If you attach this other thing to bonus payments, the bonus will not be paid. It is just your opinion, Hill retorted. What assurance do you have that the Vinson bill has a better chance of becoming a law than the Patman bill has of becoming a law? CAMPAIGNS FOR U. S.

The bill, reported favorably by the house Judiciary Committee, probably will be before the house within a week. A year' ago it passed the house, but died with other measures in the Senate because of the press of last minute legislation. In reporting the bill. Representative Healey of the Judiciary Committee said its purpose was to give the sanction of Congress to such interstate compacts and commended: A State which has enacted regulatory legislation for the betterment of working conditions in its industries, setting up maximum hours of labor, prescribing sanitary conditions, and setting up regulations which have eliminated sweatshops, finds itself handicapped in competition with States which have less stringent industrial legislation. The situation has been accentuated during the depression, and has resulted in the migration of factories from State to State in their search for locations where the mast lenient industrial legislation exists.

This situation has resulted in a general lowering of taken years to accomplish have been swept away.
