U.R The State began presentation of Its case today against hulking Cesare Valenti, 55, mustached former convict accused of being a "killer" for Philadelphia's sinister murder for insurance syndicate. The 250-pound former boxer was charged specifically with complicity in the poison death of Charles In-garo.

Mrs. Carina Favato "broke" the case and led to discovery of the widespread machinations of the merchants of death, blamed for more than 100 arsenic slayings, when she halted her trial last spring by pleading guilty to the murders of Ingrao, her common law husiand, her step-son and another man. Meantime, the murder trial of Paul Petrillo, placid-faced south Philadelphia "witch doctor" and alleged director of a syndicate branch, was in recess to enable the jurors to vote in today's primary elections. Charged with six murders, Petrillo is on trial in the poison death of Luigi La Vecchio, whose widow, Rose Davis, also is listed for prosecution. Petrillo's trial started dramatically yesterday when Mrs.

Rose Tranchl-tella, frail 25-year-old daughter of another ring victim, rushed at Petrillo as he was led into the courtroom. Sobbing and screaming, "You lulled my father," the young woman pounded Petrillo with her fists before court attaches pulled her away. Assistant District Attorney Vincent P. McDevvitt, who has been In charge of the long investigation of the ring, said that the State's case against Petrillo "will read like a scenario." The jury and alternates were completed at a night session of the Valenti trial. The trial of Dominlck Cassetti, who has admitted sprint ling lus wife's spaghetti with a "witches powder" under threat of the "evil eye," was scheduled to be resumed yesterday, but was delayed because of legal technicalities.

I was too weak to play football that day and I'm sure Pond knew it," he said. Kelley also called attention to the 1935 Yale-Princeton game when "Yale's fullback Miles was sent In to play with a knee so badly hurt we wondered if he's be crippled for life." He said that Dave Colwell was allowed to play against Princeton in 1936 three weeks after being operated on for appendicitis. "The Ivy League is so much holier-than-thou that it even denies its own existence," Kelley said. "It makes me snicker when I hear some Ivy-clad col'ege 'gwig 'give the business' to the less-refined football factories In the west and south. Humorous to me is the denial by Bill Bingham of Harvard, Malcolm Farmer of Yale and other directors of the Ivy colleges that the Ivy League exists.

It certainly dees exist, and for one reason, to help members profit on their football games." NBA RULES ARMSTRONG KEEPS WELTER TITLE WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.
