Cas tool the defendants, Murtagh restrained him By ROBERT KAPPSTATTER and Abdul Shakur shouted, "And that's going to be one of our daily procedures!" Later, during examination of Lt. Eugene McDermott, the day's only witness, Richard Moore, a 24-year-old defendant, shouted an interruption, and Murtagh ordered, "The defendants will remain silent." "Why don't you shut up, pig!" came a shout from among the defendants. "We will speak whenever we see injustice done and our lawyers cannot admonish us," interjected Robert Collier. His voice low but almost trembling1 in anger, Murtagh said, "I've been called a pig once too often." Then he invoked the "formula" and, at the same time, warned the defense lawyers that they could no longer represent to other courts that they were engaged in a proceeding before Murtagh. The justice was apparently referring to William Crain and Sanford Katz, who also are representing defendants in a Federal Court bombing case.

Speaking to reporters later, the defense lawyers promised "to give careful con-sideation to the implications of this ruling." "This is a unique situation in the history of the American bar and the American judiciary system," one of them said. self as he announced "The hearings are proceeding at a snail's pace and are being repeatedly interrupted by the contemptuous conduct of the defendants." The judge pronounced them "unwilling to proceed with the trial of the issues before the court under the American system of criminal justice and under the laws of the State of New York," and emphasized that the only bar to a fair trial "is their continued refusal to accept such a trial." To Be Signed by Every One However, he promised favorable consideration of a motion to resume the hearing "if but only if it is supported by an unequivocal assurance that each defendant will give complete respect to the court" during the hearing and subsequent trial. With this, he asked "an assurance that the defendants are now prepared to participate in a trial conducted under the American system of criminal justice. "Such statement is to be signed by each and every one of the defendants." As the hearing opened in the Criminal Court building at 100 Centre St. the defendants gave the clenched fist Panther salute to the audience and chanted, "All power to the people!" Then defendant HENRY LEE Supreme Court Justice John M.

Murtagh-yesterday abruptly cooled the pretrial hearing of the 13 Black Panthers charged with a murder-bombing conspiracy. When some of the defendants again acted up in the 12th day of the hearing, Murtagh recessed the proceedings indefinitely until all of the Panthers promise in writing to respect court procedure. In the meantime, 12 of the 13 were tucked back in jail in lieu of $100,000 bail each. Hearings 'Repeatedly Interrupted' Murtagh said the indefinite recess was the "formula" which he mentioned the previous day and that if it succeeds, "it will be in large measure because of its utter simplicity." "The court declares these hearings to be recessed indefinitely that, in essence, is the formula." Though obviously angered by the continuing insulting behavior on the part of Justice Murtagh Recess ia the "formula" 01' Stagger DdealDuefor (Downtown On Jan. 28, 1928 the New York Evening Sun reported that a "long anticipated" stagger system designed "to relieve rush-hour commuter congestion had beenN put to By THOMAS POSTER The Poughkeepsie Board of Elections said yesterday that Morris B.
