24 (AP) -The prosecution of Mrs. Hattie Stone of Havre de Grace on the charge of killing her son, George, 15, by poison, prepared today to spin further skeins of the web by which it hopes to convince a jury of her guilt. The opening day's session ended with four state witnesses called, three of them testifying about the money which the prosecution contends was a motive for the poisoning of the boy. The fourth witness, Deputy Sheriff Reese Bowman, presented some letters intercepted when Mrs. Stone tried to send them by trustees from the jail to Paul Jones, a soldier at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, and these prec pitated a debate which closed the day.

Holding that expressions which might tend to show dissolute character, had no bearing on the murder charge, Judge Walter Preston declined to let the jurors see one of the letters but gave consideration overnight to whether another might be put in evidence. In that one Mrs. Stone told the soldier she had said to Defense Counsel Harold E. Cobourn that she did not hope to "get out of this" and he upbraided her. The jury, completed late in the afternoon yesterday, is composed almost entirely of men past middle age, with children and grandchildren, about whom the defense questions centered.

In it are seven farmers, two retired merchants, two salesmen and a clerk. MOST OF STOLEN BONDS RECOVERED Seek Ringleader in Bond Theft Case--Still Has $50,000 of Bonds NEW YORK, Sept. 24.

All but 50,000 worth of the bonds were found in a loosely wrapped package in an east mail box.

A substitute post office collector who found the package said he thought it to be a bundle of waste paper and was about to discard it, then decided to take it to the post office station. A clerk opened the bundle and found it contained a messenger's brief case lettered with the name R. V. Hiscoe and Company and with the name Milton Alter scratch on it. The securities were inside.

Milton Alter has been under arrest since last Friday when he reported to his employers, Hiscoe and Company, that he had been kidnapped and robbed of $512,000 in securities which he was sent to bring from the Guaranty Trust Company. After frequent changes in his story Alter finally told of the conspiracy, naming David Schwartzberg and Carl Forman. Schwartzberg was arrested. He confessed his part in the bond theft plot and joined with Alter in naming Forman as the leader. Police Commissioner Whalen said he believed Forman had dropped the securities into the mail box when he learned that police were seeking him.

Both Forman and Schwartzberg have police records. Air Race Turned Into Air Search leave for a South Carolina city to conduct a two day auction sale. The property sold this morning was all choice.
