John Partelow. Mount Pleasant car. penter and foreman of the jury, an nounced the decision. 'Guilty as charged." he said.

The defendant just stared at the jury. Fish's six children who had come to his aid in spite of his three bigamous marriages, after their mother left him, were not in court. They waited in a corridor. Mrs Annie Collins, one of his daughters, collapsed. "He got what he deserved," said Edward Budd, 22-year-old brother of the slain child and originally Fish's intended victim.

He said that the Irish Free State imports much more from the United States than this country buys from Ireland and he hopes to have a trade agreement established.

He is nursing a sore right hand because of the hand-shaking welcome he received from Americans and Irish-Americans during his visits to New York and Philadelphia. He told the press how he has long wanted to visit Boston, particularly because he has so often been told that it is "the second home of the Irish." He spoke feelingly of what the United States had done for Irish emigrants and he said that no Irishman can ever forget that this country offered the Irish shelter and opportunity, when times were hardest there. Mr and Mrs Walter Croft, Walter Croft 3d, and Brendan O'Riordan, the Irish Consul, greeted the Lord Mayor when he arrived in Boston. P. T.

Kelley, prominent in the insurance business in Ireland, and Dr Edward L. Kickham of Brookline were with him when he arrived. The Lord Mayor greeted many visitors at the Copley-Plaza. He wore around his neck the insignia of his office, a gold chain and pendant of Tudor roses, trefoil knots, "Ss and Irish harps. The chain has been in existence since 1697, replacing one lost at the Battle of the Boyne.

His Lordship told of how he has presided at many sweepstakes drawings and added that the money had been of the greatest value for hospitalization in Ireland and that it would be used for endowments and research work. He knows Jack Doyle, the Irish boxer, personally and he also knows Dan O'Mahoney, the wrestler. He met O'Mahoney in Dublin before the wrestler came here. He also met Gov Curley in Dublin when the Governor was Mayor of Boston. Mr Croft met the Lord Mayor in Dublin when he was on a visit there and invited him to be his guest in Boston.

As for the trade agreement which the Lord Mayor plans to urge, he does not desire that the United States buy articles which we in America make, but he suggests linens, whiskies, horses, tweeds and hams as some of the articles which would find a market in the United States without injuring home products. ROOSEVELT IS HOST TO BORAH AT LUNCH Both Men Are Secretive After First Conference WASHINGTON, March 22 (A. A luncheon, conference today between President Roosevelt and Senator Borah, Idaho's lone wolf Republican, stirred widespread speculation in the capital, but if there "were any positive developments they were closely guarded. Borah, who speaks for Congress on international affairs much as Senator Glass, Dem. of Virginia, does on banking matters, would not disclose what took place.

Asked if he and the Chief Executive discussed the German situation, or N. R. A. legislation, Borah said: "We discussed all of those things, but I have no idea why he invited me." Washington's curiosity was aroused particularly because it was the first time since President Roosevelt entered the White House more than two years ago that he has invited the Idaho Senator for a personal conference. Unroll nn the, Whito WoilSP steOS.

described the hour's conversation as "very Interesting" and later tne President in response to questions at- his nress conference termec? the meeting very satisfactory. Mr Roose velt added tnat tne veteran iaano Senator had an extremely interesting mind. Few Senators have been more critical of some phases of the New Deal than Senator Borah. GLOBE ADVERTISEMENTS PAY BEST JTRY ONE AND SEE 1 J. ecutive secretary, after they had made a trip to cities in the Middle) West for the purpose of studying th court systems there.

Not only will the plan reduce jury- fixing, it is believed, but it will save the county about $75,000 a year, as fewer jurors will be neelied under the new plan. "This plan will reduce to the minimum the approachability of jurors, either by accident or design," was the only remark Judge Cox would mSke when he was asked about the new system. When the jurors drawn for duty in May report to the court, they will first be given the usual instructions by a judge. They will then repair to thJ quarters being prepared for them, which consist of two large rooms on th fourth floor. The rooms are being made over for that purpose.

They will remain there, engaging themselves as they wish, until they are summoned for actual jury duty. One elevator at the north side of the building, the side on which tha jurors' quarters are located, will not bo available to the public above the third floor. Beyond that point it will be for the exclusive use of the jurors. $75,000 Saving Expected Under the present system, about 325 jurors are drawn for service each month, and they are paid $5 a day and mileage from their homes. It is estimated that under the new plan about 100 fewer jurors will be needed.

At present it is planned to summon only 232 jurors for May. The saving in salary and mileage, it is estimated, will reach about $75,000 a year. The new "pooling" plan will be Eut in effect in Suffolk County only, ut if it works satisfactorily there it may be adopted in Middlesex, Essex and Worcester Counties. 'ROBOT' PLANE CHIEF QUITS AFTER FLIGHT Snow Irked by Ban Against; Hawaii Hop OAKLAND. Calif, March 22 (A.

Maj Chester Snow, chief of the Government's experiments with a new radio compass for ocean flying, resigned from the Department of Commerce staff tonight in a note, penned 300 miles out over the Pacific. Maj Snow wired hs dramatic resignation to Washington in an apparent culmination of a controversy with Secretary Roper of the Commerce Department over a projected flight to Hawaii. While he assigned no reason for withdrawing from the staff, the major was known to have been "put out" over order from the Secretary of Commerce" that operations of tha compas? plane should be. confined to flights of 900 or 1000 miles at sea and return. Returning from another of the series of flights designed to test the plane's radio compass.

Snow telegraphed his resignation to Eugene Vi dal, chief of the Bureau of Air Commerce at Washington. Then he turned and read it tQ newspapermen. It said: 1 "Am sorry weather prevented flight to 700 miles out! never more than 350 miles from shore and proved nothing not known from previous flights. Desire" at this time to commend crew; of plane and members of ground organization. With the conclusion of this flight on the West coast I hereby; resign from the Bureau of Air Commerce effective on the receipt of this wire.

In order to expedite the report it is written in flight to be sent upon landing." The radio compass, which permits an airplane to follow ordinary; wireless to their point of origin, worked perfectly on today's flight. Maj Snow added. Although unable to make contact with any Honolulu radio stations, it did guide the plane on a bee-line to the liner Mariposa 350 miles out in further proof of its adaptability to ocean flying. CLIPPER SHIP, ON TEST HOP, NEARS THE VIRGIN ISLANDS NEW YORK, March 22 (A. The giant clipper ship on a 2600-mile non-stop test flight over the Atlantic Ocean was reported to Pan American Airways headquarters at 10:40 (E.

S. tonight to be 370 miles from St Thomas In the Virgin Islands. This position would place the ship near its turning point in the Leeward Islands, where it was scheduled to begin the return flight on its great circle route to Miami. The four-motored, 19-ton rJIane is on a 2600-mile non-stop flight to prove the feasibility of commercial transoceanic service. The journey through the night simulated those planned for clipper ships which It is planned to use for trade over the Pacific from Californiai to Honolulu and, in the not too distant future, China.

The charted course is 200 miles greater than the mileage between the California coast and Honolulu, longest hop of the Pacific aerial route to China. $25,000 IS BEQUEATHED TO LEWISTON.

You are cordially invited to see the live mannequins who are the "stara of tomorrow" display the newest creations inspired by Paris, New York -and London in suits, coats, fura and dresses celebrating the Spring Opening of tha New Scott's, Winter Street. Today. A new system of handling jurors In Suffolk County, which in the opinion of the judges will save the county considerable money as well as eliminating many of the possibilities of jury-fixing, will be put in operation on the first Monday in May.

The change was ordered yesterday as a result of a vote taken by the judges of the Superior Court. The new plan is to "pool" all Jurors, placing them all together In one large assembly room that is being prepared for them on the fourth floor of the Pemberton-sq. building. They will congregate there and will remain there until, they are needed for service. As they are needed, groups of them will be taken to the criminal or civil session where the jury is being drawn.

When the jury in that session is or when a Jury has, finished a case, the jurors will return to the assembly room and wait there subject to call. Under the present system, Jurors are drawn at City Hall for a particular session of court, either criminal or civil. The lists are made up in advance and attorneys and defendants have the lists available. At present, Courthouse attaches say, it is possible for an attorney, or defendant, to "engineer" his case into a session where he has a friend on the jury. Under the new system, that will not be possible, as all jurors will be together and no attorney or defendant will know what roup of jurors is to be called in the case.

Effective in West The plan of pooling jurors has been in effect in other cities for some time, and was suggested by Judge Louis S. ok wid Edmund S. Phinney, ex HELD AS SUSPECT ON BOGUS CHECKS John J. Dooley Taken in Store on Park Sq Suspected of having passed worthless checks on several Boston concerns, a man who gave his name as John J. Dooley, his age as 39 and his address as South av, Weston, was held at Police Headquarters last night.

He was taken into custody by Inspector John Shone after a check for $32 had been given a clerk in the cigar stor of Sulgrave, Ltd, Park sq. In an automobile parked near the cigar store entrance Inspector John Hancotte found bank books of the First National and National Shawmut Banks of Boston, the Brookline Trust Company, the Everett National Bank, the Merchants National Bank, Salem, and the Maiden Trust Company. In one of the books the officer found a check for $40 dated Feb 13, payable to the Spaulding Moss Company and signed Allen Sturbridge. The police say that a man answering the description of the one taken to Police Headquarters has been passing worthless checks in Boston for some time. The Thayer McNeil Company cashed several days ago a check for $60 which was found to be bogus.

Yesterday after ordering $30 worth of cigars at the Sulgrave Company store, a man gave a check for $32. Having heard of the Thayer McNeil incident, a Sulgrave employe telephoned Capt Stephen J. Flaherty at Police Headquarters. Inspector Shone was sent to the store and found Dooley there. The check given the Sulgrave Company was on the Naumkeag Trust Company of Salem and bore the signature Philip S.

Endicott, trustee. The man held claims he is a Boston lawyer and denies that he has passed any worthless checks.
