Morris, chief counsel for Wappenstein, made a pas sionate plea for "Justice tempered with mercy." He begged that Wappenstein be let off with a fine only. When he referred to Wappenstein's IS year old daughter, his 16 year old son. his wife, "against whose family, the Benns, pioneers In the. state, there has never been a taint of suspicion," Wap penstein's face flushed, hla eyes grew moist, snd there was a suspicion of a tear.

The committee will also recommend that Engineer Modjeski immediately prepare plans for the superstructure and that the leading hrldge builders of the country be asked to submit compet itive designs for the bascule draw, which will be the feature of the new span.
