Prosecutor Aller demanded the death penalty when he opened the case.

The shooting had been premeditated he argued, and therefore the verdict should be murder in the first degree. In reply, Harry L. Stout, of this town, who is defending Price, is expected to plead the "unwritten law." Three witnesses had been called when court adjourned for the afternoon Edgar and Howard Spicer and Levi F. Chamberlain, farmers living along the back road near the scene of the shooting. The Spicer brothers identified Price as the man who, on the night of the killing asked them if they had seen anything of a little bay mare and the buggy with a man and a woman in it.

Chamberlain testified that he heard three shots that night. Held and Hunted But, Then, Who'd Expect Fish to Read About Fire Prevention Week! GOLDFISH are the latest fire menace!

The fish belonging to a daughter in law, Mrs. Albert Kochel, were growing pale, she believed.

She placed them in a bay window to acquire sunburn. While working in the next room shortly afterwards she smelled smoke and returned to find the upholstery of a chair two feet from the aquarium on fire. The bowl acted as a lens to focus the rays of the sun on the chair, as does the magnifying glass that boys use to light paper. Mrs. Kochel thinks the fish will not need any more tanning.

Arrested when he return First Interview Styled Closed Incident, Subsequent Utterances Displease Secretary WASHINGTON, Sept.

28 (iP) Rear Admiral T. P. Magruder's magazine article criticising conduct of the navy now is a closed incident, so far as Secretary Wilbur is concerned, but inquiry is going forward to determine whether the officer may be subject to any penalties as a result of a subsequent interview printed in the New York Times. The Saturday Evening Post article episode was terminated at a conference today, arranged at the telephonic request of Admiral Magruder, in' Tvhfch he expressed his regret "to Secretary Wilbur' if the criticism had caused Mr. Wilbur any eiribarrdssment.

He said he had written the article only with a view to disseminating useful information not in a critical vein: The conference hinged chiefly on an interview with the admiral printed in the New York Times In which he, was represented as backing up the magazine with vigorous language.

WATER BONDS ON BALLOT $237,000 to Be Used on Fifth Street Extension Work; $150,000 on Hand 'With funds from councilmanic loans totaling $1,077,000 to be floated before the end of the year, the city administration plans to complete or carry forward seven projects, five of major importance in its municipal improvement program. Mayor William E. Sharman announced yester day that after long debate the council majority had decided to place only the $750,000 Maidencreek water loan on the ballot next month and to do all other improvement with council manic loans.

Bonds for Lhe Angelica purchase have already been authorized. This is the first announcement of the plan for other bond issues. Most of the work will be carried out by the department of streets and sewers and the following figures were compiled by Councilman J. H. McConnell, head of the department.

Following is the budget worked out by the council majority. To Buy Water System 1 Purchase of the Eighteenth ward water system of the Angelica company fm.vvv. 2 Construction of a trunk line sewer from Second and Court streets to the Schuylkill avenue bridge, cTrnnrtpenth and Fifteenth ward $200,000 3 Enlargement and modernization of the sewage disposal plant in ac rordance with the demand of the state so that the trunk line sewer may be used 4 Land condemnation, paving and city's share of the construction cost rvf the railway underpass on the utn street extension project $237,000. 5 Extension of a secondary trunk sewer in the Northeast section and extension of other storm sewers in the Eighteenth ward $125,000. $100 000 for Condemned Land Tr addition to the above, the loans will supply $100,000 for the payment of land condemned at bixtn ana Amity streets, now in use as a public nlAvcrnund and for land condemned for Pendora park and $100,000 for general street extension.

The total amount of money to be spent in all of these projects is 224.000 but of this amount the city has on hand in unexpended funds from the last councilmanic loan ap nroxlmatelv $150,000, bringing the total which must now be raised to SI. 077.000. The city's borrowing cap onitw 1. was $1,250,000. This leave after the floating of the new loans a councilmanic borrowing capacity of $173,000.

Retirina Bonds, Mayor Says "However," said Mayor Sharman yesterday, "we do not consider this too low because we are retiring bonds at. ha rate of several hundred thouj sand dollars a year. With these long nneded and essential projects under way we will have no occasion, for some time to make other loans, ue fore that occasion comes we will have retired enough bonds so that our borrowing capacity will be great enough to accommodate our needs. With the increase in general revenue lesulting from the assessment made in 1926, without touching the tax rate, for a number of years, will have enough to run the city, care for general maintainance and ordinary im provements. According to McConnell.

this year's budget can provide for numerous minor improvements which could not be made before because of the 'pressing need for street repairs, and what in private business would be termed expenses to plant." Will Extend Sewers Thft la.rffp.st exDenditures under the plan decided upon this week are for the extension of sewers to the un sewered districts of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth wards and the enlargement of tha sewage disposal plant, "Twice now bonds for these improvements have been turned down by the voters," said Sharman, "the need for these sewers and the necessity for a sewaee dlsnosal plant which will not only care or the additional load imposed but the excess load now forced on it Is so (Turn to Page Two? VANZETTI'S SISTER SAILS FOR ITALY NEW YORK, 28 R) Miss Luiga Vanzetti, sister of Bartholo meo Vanzetti, executed in Massachusetts recently for murder, sailed for her home in Italy tonight, carrying one half of the ashes of her brother and one half, of the ashes of Nicolo Sacco, electrocuted with Vanzetti.

The ashes, she said, will be interred in Italy, Lawyer Defies Authorities to Find Client; Retracts Later RETAINS WIFE'S CONFIDENCE Fugitive Traced to Lake Rendezvous Where He Once Played Hermit Two Years HAMMONTON, N. Sept. 28 (B) Willis Beach, South Vineland poultry raiser, wanted "on a charge of aiding and abetting in the slaying of Dr.

A. William Liliiendahl, on Sept. 15, remained in hiding today while his attorney and the county prosecutor's office issued statements defending their stands. The little poultryman, who admitted he made love to Mrs. Margaret Liliiendahl, continued to elude a man hunt that has extended into several states, while his attorney, who admits urging him to go into hiding, found himself facing probable prosecution for obstructing justice.

The warrant for Beach's arrest was issued yesterday when officers were unable to find him at his home. He was free on $5,000 bail as a material witness. "Beach has not fled the jurisdiction of the court, and will be present whenever the courts wants him," said Edison Hedges, of Atlantic City, his counsel. "His bond as a material witness does not say that he shall be produced before the state police or county authorities at any time." Orders Arrest on Sight Prosecutor Louis Repetto, of Atlantic county, on the other hand, said Beach would be arrested on sight and that he would not make any "dear with Beach's counsel for the man's return. Reppetto express ed the hope that Beach would be sur rendered by his counsel and said that! he would oppose any motion' fot'vhis' release on bail.

"Try and find him," Invited Hedges, as county detectives and state troopers demanded the suspected murder accomplice be turned over to them, so that three men from Morrisvllle, who are awaiting hourly call, might have an opportunity to identify him as the gray haired motorist they saw dart out from near the murder scene about the time of the killing. "We will find him and without any assistance from you," retorted the authorities, as they bent over the trail, and when we do find him, there will be no treating with you," they added significantly. Attorney Retracts Hedges, evidently affrighted he had overstepped the bounds of justice today, retracted statements the missing poultryman had left the state on his advice. Beach still remains within the jurisdiction, he asserted, but again emphasized that it was he, himself, who was responsible for the disappearance. At the offices of Repetto, there were ugly murmurings against the enterprising young attorney who, by his actions, puts himself in the position of defying constituted law and authority.

Intimations emanated strongly that he will find himself In a far from comfortable position as harborer of a fugitive and 'an obstructionist of justice. While Marsraret Liliiendahl, widow of the slain physician, who is under $25,000 bail as a material witness, received friends at the little cottage in South Vineland, where she lived with her husband and their eight year old son, Mrs. Beach defended the missing man. Retains Wife's Confidence "I have every confidence in my husband," the woman told newspapermen. Mrs.

Now mind you, fellow citizens, I don't say we have quite reached old Isaiah's ideal. I realize that while the League of Nations has decided to make war unlawful there will always be a few bootleggers who'll manage to furnish a few battleships for the sea of matrimony. Nevertheless, the world is improving. It is getting to be about as good a place as one can find for a decent human being to live in. It is getting finer and better every day.

The other Bailej children became mysteriously ill, but recovered. Miss Atkinson had been a guest in the Bailey home for some time before the death of Mrs. Bailej and her daughter.

Later, the youth said, he was forced to go to work, leaving the two alone.

"Our wine is 'worth between $60 and $70 a barrel" said Carlone, "and the beer was worth about $17 a keg.

"Hands off those pretzels" warned the bartender in. one of the hotels.
