CONVICTION FOUGHT: IN TRAFFIC DEATH

CRAWFORDSVILLE, April 21 (U. P.).—A motion to arrest judgment on the conviction of Joseph C. Spear, 43, of Atttica, of involuntary manslaughter was pending in Circuit Court today. Spear was found guilty in connection with the death of Raymond Jarrett of Attica in an automobile accident last July. His wife, Mrs. Emma Spear, and Mrs. Ethel Hains, also were killed in the crash.

The motion to arrest judgment contended that the Grand Jury which indicted Spear wags without jurisdiction, and that the facts of the indictment did not constitute

J. W. Clinehens, chief engineer,

said today the plan will be based

on the selection of one or a series of stations which have been found to bear a constant ratio of sootfall to the other stations throughout the City. Testing Several Stations “We are now testing to find several stations which have had this ratio for the past year,” Mr. Clinehens said. “By determining one typical station, we could measure atmospheric pollution in all parts of town on the ratio basis.

Convict Gels Let His Wife Die—They'll Be Executed

NEW YORK, April 21 (U. P).— Four cop killers will he sentenced to death April 28 and up at Dannemora Prison convict Emilio Funicel-

lo will have his revenge against the “pals” who let his wife die in want. They had sworn to look after her and the two Funicello children if anything happened to him, and he had warned them that he knew enough about them to have them all executed. When he was imprisoned for life as an habitual criminal, they thought he was safely out of the way, and so they forgot about Mrs. Funicello and the children. Once, Funicello and Albert Mastrone, now 44, headed separate gangs of hoodlums. Together they had committed 40 robberies. The Mastrone gang had a restaurant job

planned for the night of Sept. 13, 1931, and although Funicello had no part in it, he was present at the Harlem tenement hous where it was arranged, he furnished some of the guns used, and after it was done, he got the guns back and was told that a cop had been killed. Soon Funicello was caught in another robbery and put away permanently. The slayers of Sergt. Murphy enjoyed six more years of freedom and Funicello bore his imprisonment in silence. Then he heard about his wife. He sent word to the warden that he wanted to make a statement, That was in the summer of 1937, It was not until the following November that, on Funicello’s information, Norman J. Brabson, 29,
