Miss De Martino, who had been missing since June 30, was on her way to visit Miss Brownell when last seen by her parents and consequent ly her parents and police were anxi ous about their failure to find any trace of her.

Speed Trial. As a means of dispensing delay in bringing about Lee's trial. Assistant District Attorney Frederick Kopff today applied for the dismissal of the charge of murder lodged against the defendant in Homicide Court.

Martin, he observed, when Lee was arrested, that tho fingernails bore a dull color. His theory is that the analysis may show blood-clots, which would be damaging to Lee's protestations of his innocence. Bennett Funeral Held. Mrs. Bennett's funeral was held at 10 a.m.
