Murder Suspect His Innocence (Continued from Page One) day of Sabato's arrest. they started an investigation into the ease. in an en- deavor to connect Sabnto with the murder of Iloltz. It was brought out in the course of the investigation that Sabato had not left his home until Tuesday. May 8. and wss picked up a few days later by the \Vllton authori- ties. The state police came to the conclusion after yesterday's investiga- tion that Sabato was in no way con- rpeted pvith‘ther murder of Holtz. The authorities are in a. quandry as to what should be done with Subato. Sergeant \‘irelli of the state police phoned the local police yesterday and asked that photos be taken of Sabato. as he is to be deported. Later in the day an inspector from the Immigra- tion Bureau visited the local police station and after talking with Sabato stated that the man had been in this country 13 years and would not be deported. but that it was up to local authorities to dispose of the case. As this case is being handled by the “lil- ton police it is thought that the mat- ter will be \aken out of the Norwalk' authorities' hands. - It is thought that Sabato has been in more or less of a demented state for some time. He gained consider- able notoriety last January when he attempted to commit suicide by shoot- ing himself through the eye with a shot gun. At that time he was in the Norwalk hospital for some time and as the result of the attempted suicide he lost one of his eyes. At the time he was placed under arrest by the \Vilton authorities he was wandering along from one farm- house to another. informing the resi- dents there that a. great war was about to take place and that every one who failed to prepare for it would be des- troyed. , Bankers And ' . Lawyers Clash (Continued from Page One) chairman of the committee on banks. said the bill was not in his “inside pocket." but was on the table of the House. The bill authorises banks and trust companies to act as tax collec- tors for towns. Bell declared. “Yes. Mr. Speaker. the bill would over turn the duties of an individual to the corporations. God help us. Connecticut is in a. bad way if we can‘t find men enough to even hold the necessary offices." House Leader Buckley. in explain- ing the bill and urging its passage. declared that “from the standpoint of ethics of the legal profeuion at least. some banks are doing something no attorney would do. drawing wills and otherwise acting in cases in which the banks themselves would ‘be trustees." He said the situation had been called to the attention of the head of the State Bankera' association. had been condemned by him. and that such practices were beyond the charter rights of a bank or trust company. He said a bank had the right to be executor. administrator or trustee. but hadnorighttodrawawill. . The question was put upon the pea- sage of the bill. and it was named without serious opposition.

Palmer plans to institute habeas corpus pro- ceedings. The attorney. Palmer's father. and his fiancee were refused permission to visit him last night. Three other developments in the case came while authorities were questioning Palmer. Abbott L. Fletch- er. an attorney of Minneapolis. who came here to investigate the student's disappearance announced that he had talked with two students who saw Mount alive after the class rush of September 21. 1921. “There is no question that Mount is either alive now or that. he committed suicide" Mr. Fletcher said. Mrs. JIL. Mount who identified as that her son a skeleton found un- der sn Evanston pier reported to authorities that word had reached her that rocks supposed to have covered the skeleton were being removed. An investigation was ordered. The other development was a letter received at the states atorney office signed "Leighton Mount" it was writ- ton on stationery of a Minneapolis Hotel but authorities placed little credence in it. Attempts To Take Life (Continued from Page One.) Dr. Fawcett operated upon the aged man immediately after his arrival at the hospital. giving an injection of "Faiths," a. salt solution. "I think that Chief Bradley has a good chance of recovering." said Dr. rhwcett. “\Ve may find that a transfusion of blood will be neceman‘. but will not go that far unlg. as a last resort. Chief Bradley had not been feeling well for two months. spending many sleepless night. This caused hzm to become dcapondent." Ex-Chief Bradley was born in Leeds. England. in October 1842. and came to this country with his parents when he was live years old. Until he was 19 years old he lived with his parents at Newburgh. N.
