uercd by a. crowd of between 300 and
500 men, came as a culmination of
bitter feelings which have existed
for a considerable period.
Trouble at Three Places
“‘hile the fighting was beginning
here a somewhat similar outbreak.
occurred in Spencer. several miles
away, when a crowd showered with
stones cars carrying persons away
from a K. K. K. meeting there. State
police. on guard against such an
occurrence at that place, dispersed
the crowd and arrested five men:
Charles Mcrail. Leo Gagnon. John
Daeust, Julius Jurumsky and John
Demetre. all of Spencer. At “'03:-
minster. near here. a third meeting
was held. but without disorders.
The small police force was unable
to cope with the situation when.
shortly after eight o'clock. trouble
began between the crowd within the
field and those in the road outside.
A few guards had been posted along
the low stone wall-that ran between
the field and road. \Vhen the crowd
outside attempted to enter the field,
help was summoned from the State
police at Holden. Oxford. Brook-
field and Lunenbusg. But the dozen
officers were unable to handle the
situation when. at ten o'clock the
first rcai clash occllrred at the en-
trance to the field. rocks were thrown
and the crowd outside withdrew.
Shot. Gun Fired.
The second most serious clash oc—
curred at 1:30 A. M., whens second
rush for the opening into the field
brought general fighting in which
stones and clubs figured. A shot gun
apparently loaded with rock salt was
fired into the crowd. Roy Grover.
a spectator. was hit when an auto‘
mobile within the enclosure atempt-
cd to run the gauntlet of the crowd
outside.
Officer Peter Sonia who was riding
on the running board of the ambu-
lance which had ebeen summoneo
and which was carrying Grover
from the field. was struck on the
head by a piece of rock.
As the night were on. the police
handicapped by their lack of num-
bers. the scattered position of the
combatants and the darkness. were
able only to keep the road clear.
When dawn broke, 150 men still
remained in the road outside the
field and a similar number of men
were within the field. Butwith the“
coming of morning. the number in
the roadway outside. consisting prin-
cipaily of young men between the
ages of 16 and 25 gradually broke
up.
Bhttle Scene Deserted.
Reinforcements. increasing the
forces of the police to 20. enabled
them to disperse the remainder.
Those who had been forced to re-
main within the inclosed field were
enabled to leave. The scene of bat-
tle was deserted before seven
o'clock. *

had floundered in the water and had
sone down for the last time. Look-
ing over toward the shore the boys
noticed that Frank, the young bro-
ther was running for the hole in an
effort to help his elder. ‘As the
little boy reached the hole and went
under the water Gerhardt and Gor-
don grabbed him and pulled him in
shore.
\thn they got the brother and
sister on the sand, Gordon told
Gerhardt to run to Calf Pasture
Beach about a half mile away and
notify the life guards there. He
then applied to Alta resuscitation
methods he had learned as a Boy
Scout.
The Gerhardt boy ran to the
pavilion at'top speed and after noti-
fying \‘Villiam Bush and Henry
Buckwait dropped exhausted to the
ground. Buckwait and Bush both
ran to the "hole" and both dived
for the body of Ina until they were
exhausted and had to give up. The
father and others had reached the
scene by this time.
lluckualt and Bush then carried
Alta. who was still unconscious and
little Frank to the life saving sta-
tion at the pavalion and arrived
there just as Life Guard Louis Can-
evari oi the Red Cross Life Saving
Corps at Caifxl'asture Beach arrived

condition of the girl at a glance or-

' .Vo Telephone.
There being no telephone at. Calf
Pasture Beach park. it was neces-
sary for A. Audenette of 13 Isaac
street. to drive up to Cove avenue,
where ancall was sent into the police.
and Dr. George \V. Fawcett and
Medical Examiner Samuel H. Hunt-
ington were notified of the drown-
ing. Dr. Fawcett dashed to the
scene and when he arrived Alta was
just regaining consciousness due‘ to
the ctforts of Life Saver Canevari.
Dr. Fawcett then fully revived the
girl. Frank, jr.. had only taken in
a slight amount of water and was
soon able to dress. The two chilo
drcn were later taken to the home
of Mrs. Edith Casey at 29 Gregory
boulevard by Dr. Fawcett. where
they were cared for until taken to
their home in Danbury.
Vthn the police were notified of
the drowning Patrolmen Robert
Gainer and Albert Frazier hurried
to the "hole" in a motor boat. Pat-
rolman Gainer. who is an expert
swlmmcr, dove several times to find
the body. but failed. He stated that
he was under water so long that it
scemcd as if his car drums would
break. Patrolman Frazier, with the
use of grappling hooks. dragged the
bottom chine hole.

Life Savers Louis Canevari.
Charles \Vickc, Alphonso Canevari.
John Cancvurl. Eugene Kane and
many olhcrs assisted in the search
for the body. After the search had
becn going on for about Em hour
and a half, Life Savers Louis Cane-
vari and Charles “fiche felt some
thing on their grappling hook. Cane--
vari, who had about 35 foot of line
started pulll!g in the rope and had
the body near the top of the water
when he lost it. After grappling
about ten minutes longer. he was
successful in getting the body into
the canoe. ‘ -
The body was taken up on the
shore where rcsuscitation methods
were used by tho mcmbcrs of the
Calf Pasture Life Guards and Dr.
George \V. l~‘avvcctt,.but it was of no
avail. The body was examined by
Dr. Samuel H. Huntington. Who was
on the scene and ordered it removed
to the undertaking parlors of Freder-
ick H. Gnnung, from which place it
was taken today to Danbury._
Considerable credit is due the boy
heroes. Edward Gerhardt and Jer—
ome Gordon because it it had not
been for their quick thinking, fill
three of the childrcn might have
been drowned. Both Gordon and
Gerhardt are members of Boy Scout
Troop No. 6 and their training as
Scouts was used 0 advantage last
evening. The two boys were. very
modest about their heroic acts and
when they were questioned by the
large crowd that gathered on tho
beach they simply blushed and walk-
ed away. Both boys have very good
records as scouts and their names
and the story of their heroic dccd
last evening will be forwarded to
Boy Scout headquarters by Scout
Commissioner Charles Dimond. Life
Saver Charles Wicke, who was in the
canoe with Life Saver Canevari when
the body was found, is Assistant
Scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop Six.
Gives Credit.
Dr. George W. Fawcett in speak-
ing about the affair stated that it
was due to the fine work of Life
Saver Louis Cancvari in administer-
ing first aid that the life of Alta. was
saved. Canevari after arriving on
the scene administered ammonia and
water which removed considerable
of the water from the girl. After
the arrival of Dr. fawcett. he ran
to the “hole" where he dove for the
body of Ins. until he became ex-
haunted.
The "hole" which is only a short
distance off the shore. is an excava-
tion 30 feet deep made by the mud
digger, when the mud was pumped
into Calf Pasture Beach Park as a
fill. It is a very dangerous spot and
one walking .along in thelwater
would drop off into the “hole" with-
out any warning as their is no in-
jlne leading to the “hole" but Just
a straight bank. .Many person.
present last evening thought that
this dangerous place should be mark-
ed with a sign, wall-hing people that
it existed because of the number of
bothers that walk over there from
Calf Pasture Beach.

Judge Caverly called the attorneys

CHICAGO, July 30.—A possibility
that the Judicial hearing to deter-
mine the punishment ‘of Nathan
Leopold. Jr.. and Richard boob. for
,killing Robert Franks. may be en-
nulled and a jury sworn to pa.- on
their sanity appeared .. today with
the defense planning to submit tes~
timony of its silent-ts in spite of the
state's declaration to oppose any;
evidence touching mental responsi-
bility.
May Set Aside Plea _
The defense based its hope of mil.-
igation on the reports of its alien-
ists. if the mental condition of the
youths is touched upon. State's At»
torney Crows said. it will automati-
cally set aside their pleas of guilty
and Judge Csverly must call a jury
to decide the hue of sanity. The
state will demand such action.
in that event the state's "moun-
tain of evidence." painstakingly
built up during a week of testimony
will go for naught andnullt be re-
introduced. The prosecution's case
was completed yesterday with the
Iconfcsslons of the defendants and
Mr. Crowe prepared to. rest. his side
when court convened today.
There is also the possibility that
Judge Cavcrly, upon whose mercy
the defendants threw themselves by
their pleas and who permitted the
state considerable latitude in sub.
muting its evidence may permit the
defense to carry of its plan and
later’ consider any the competent
evidence of both sides in consider—
ing his decision. »
Not Ming-flag Circumstance
State's Attorney Crowe. however.
has declared that under I. ruling of
the Supreme Court. the Judge must
automatically call 9. Jury to test the
menthl responsibility issue if the de-
fense raises such a. question. Mental
capacity is not a mitigating circum-
stance. the prosecutor contends.
. "There is no such thing in the
law as distinguishing whether a man
is twenty-live per cent. or thirty per
cent. normal." Mr. Crows said. The
only provision in the law is that of
mitigating circumstance. By that is
meant if the deceased indicated he
was going to attack the defendant or
there was some little provocation for
the murder or some set of similar
facts.
Will 1le on Jury
“Mitigating circumstances mean
the act. surrounding the crime and
not the degree of mental capacity
of the defendant or the measuring
of his mental responsibility with a
yard stick.' The only way~a court
can tell thepunlshment to be meted
out is by hearing all the facts and
that. is why I have introduced all of
my Vitus-es. I contend there is no
mitigating circumstances. and that
the defendant. should be hanged. If
there is any attempt to raise the
i-ueofinssnltylwiuinsistthsta
Jury be called at once."
