M. J. O'CONNOR, RETIRED POLICE SERGEANT, DEAD Old Bullet Wounds Hasten Death: Funeral Rites Thursday. Funeral services will be held at 9 Thursday morning for Martin J. O’Connor, 52, who died Monday at his home at 25 North Tacoma avenue a few weeks after his retirement from the police department where he was a sergeant and veteran policeman. Complications growing from wounds in a gun duel with two bandits about three years ago hastened death, physicians say. The funeral rites will be held in St. Phillip Neri Catholic church, and burial will be in Holy Cross cemetery. Captain Otto Peti.it, Captain John Mullen, Lieutenant Eugene Shine, Lieutenant John Sheehan, Sergeant William Dover and Sergeant Daniel (Scanlon will be pallbearers. "No praise that I could give him Would be sufficient,” Chief Mike Morrisey said today. "He was an efficient officer and admirable man.” Mr. O'Connor was shot through the abdomen and the - neck and shoulders in the gun battle more than three years ago. One of the gunmen suspected of that shooting was arrested for the murder of another policeman last winter and now is serving a life prison sentence. Mr. O’Connor was born in County Kerry, Ireland, and came to America when he was 22. He was a member of the police force here seventeen years. Survivors are a daughter, Miss Nellie O’Connor, who lived with her father; a brother, Thomas, in Ireland; a sister, Mrs. Mary Drosnan, in Ireland; nnd another sister, Mrs. Michael Horigan of Charlestown, Mass. A brother, Captain Patrick O’Connor, cf the police force, died in January, 1930. ASKS JURY FUND HIKE Judge Pickens Urges Council to Raise Appropriation $1,200.

barred, than Doherty, from his home at Rye, N. Y„ filed libel suits totaling $12,000,000 against the Star and charged the Kansas Governor was a “tool” of the newspaper. The financier’s attorneys then obtained a court order restraining Newcomer from enforcing his edict The hearing today was on Dorothy’s application for a temporary injunction against the action, to be in force until a test can be made on constitutionality of the law under which the stock, including all issues but one, were barred. Newcomer's action was done "maliciously," said Robert Stone of Topeka, one of the attorneys representing Doherty at the hearing. He attacked constitutionality oj the law, passed recently by the state legislature, giving the blue sky commission power to exempt stock from markets. The courtroom was jammed with ; spectators. Although the proceed- | ings were dull—long discussions of i evaluation of figures, ponderous phrases—interest in the hearing was great because of the three-way fight into which Doherty, the Governor and one of the largest newspapers in the country have been thrown. Meanwhile, the Kansas public service commission was at work on operations of the Doheny gas interests in this section with a view to demanding a downward revision of prices.

JUDGE TO RULE ON BOYKILLER Alienists Declare Slayer of Policeman Sane. By United Preeg CHICAGO, July 14. Varner Corry, the 15-year-old "boy who never cried,” was unable to distinguish between right and wrong last Memorial day when he killed patrolman Edward Smith, Dr. Alex Herschfield, famous psychiatrist, testified today at the red-haired youth’s trial. "But he is not insane.” Dr. Herschfield, testifying as a court witness, added. When Dr. Herschfield finished final arguments were started before Judge Joseph Sabath who will decide the case. The psychiatrist’s judgment that Varner was unable to tell right from wrong, came in answer to a long hypothetical question. Some research experts contend that natural gas contains about twice as much heat per cubic foot as does ordinary city gas.
