BEDDING SENTENCED
 TO DIE NOVEMBER 1
New Haven Youth Listens to His Fate
 Without Emotion.

New Haven, May 9.-George Red ding, Jr.. convicted of the murder ot Morris Greenberg, was sentenced to die on the gallows in the state prison at Wethersfeld, before sunrise, on November 1 next. by Judge Case to- day.
 Amid the deep hush which had fall en over the thronged courtroom Red ding calmly faced the court to hear the sentence imposed. To the ques- tions by Judge Case as to whether he desired to say anything, and if he knew that he had an opportunity to speak, Bedding replied with no sign Of emotion that he had nothing to say: He did not break then nor afterwards. He sat quietly after being taken into the courtroom, while Attorney Ken nedy. his counsel, offered motions seeking to obtain a stay of execution and a new trial.
 The three motions made in writing were denied by the court The first enc was to set aside the verdict on the ground that 1t was contrary to law, second. for a stay of execution until the expiration of the time in which an appeal could be taken, and third for a new trial, on the ground of newly discovered evidence.
 After sentence had been gwen, Bedding was taken to the courtroom. Outside the sidewalks were lined with men and boys. with a few women, waiting to see him brought out by Sheriff Hugo for transfer te the county jail The jury had the case under ceE- sideration for four hours yesterday.
 Court was adjourned without day and the spectators there joined these outside and the crowd would scarcely budge at the request of the deputy sheriffs te fall back and net block the walks.
 Bedding was not brought out for a while. He will remain at the jail for twenty days and then will be sent te Wethersf1eld to remain until sentence is carried out or some other disposi- ton is made of him, as it is under stood that the family and counsel will try to save him through appeal to the court or through the board of pardens. What the next step will be has not been determined
 Reddings father was in the court room. He bore up bravely and left with other spectators, seeking for an interview with his son. The other members of the family are prostrated by the verdict.

REQUEST FOR UNBORN
 ASToR HEIR IS VALID
New York Lawyers Agree That Courts
 Will So Rule.

New York, May 9.-When the con text of the will of John Jacob Astor was read yesterday by lawyers who are well informed on the law and the decisions of the New York courts re- lating to the estates of decedents, says The Sun of today, they agreed that if the will is ever presented to the courts for construction, the courts will prob ably hold that the provision for chill dren not named in the will, by which S3,000,000 is set aside for each child, meets all the requirements of the stat ute.
 At the same time. lawyers who dis cussed the case also said that there is no decision in this state that exactly covers such a will. and for that req son it was likely that the trustees of the Astor will would be advised, in the event of the birth of another heir, to take the initiative to determine that the rights of the posthumous child have been provided for fully.
 Under the law of this state a child born after a will has been executed, who is not mentioned or provided for in the will, may bring suit at any time until ten years after the child is q years of age, when the statute of limitations operates. The Astor estate is so vast. lawyers do not believe the trustees would risk the possibility of a suit that would involve the proper ty in litigation.

 It is nonsense to say that the op- portunities are not as good today as in former years. Only a few years ago the Nugget cigar was put on the mar ket in competition with many good brands, but the superior quality of to- bacco put into the. Nuggets. combined with the energy put into the selling Of them, was soon recognized by the smokers and dealers, so it is now the leading cigar in this section of the state. It is demanded by smokers in all the cities in Connecticut.
 The manufacturer of this cigar has been obliged to equip factory to- ac- commodate his thirty two employees and meet the ever increasing demand for his goods. He began with one cigar maker: Doesn't it prove that oppor- tunities are as good today as ever? George ?.

SHERIFF DELAYS TAKING
 RlcHEsoN TO DEATH CELL.
Impression That Prisoner Must Spend
 Ten Days There Is Erroneous.

Boston, May 9:-Clarenee V: r. Richeson. who is sentenced te die. ifi the electric chair during the week be- ginning ten days hence, will not be removed at once to the death cell in the stats prison. Sheriff Quinn of Suffolk county, who has charge of the Charles street Jail, where Riehesen is kept, said today!
 Under the law I am supposed te remove the prisoner any time within ten days before the date of the. exeeu- ten. The public has generally be iieved that it was necessary for a con- deuned man to spend at least ten days in the death cell at Charlestewn.
 Such is not the cGse I can take Rleheson to the state prison any time up to midnight on the very evening before his execution, and the execution can take place within tea minutes after his arrival.
 T have made no preparations for his transfer and cannot say when he will be removed. It Is left entirely te my discretion"
 Likely to Be Put to Death.
 Indications are strong that the ap- peal of Richeson for communication of his sentence to life imprisonment will fail. Governor Fuss told the members of the executive council q their meet ing yesterday that probably he would not refer the petition of Rieheson to them. The council can take no action unless the governor submits the plea t3 it. The consent of this body is neces- saIv to communication.
 Significant at the me ting was the remark Of the governor to Lieutenant Governor Luce. who had planned to go to his farm in Maine for a vacation of ten days. He asked the governor whether his absence would cause any inconvenience in the consideration of
 he Hdcheson case. The governor told 1 hirl to so to Maine.
 Ar. Foss himself is opposed to capi- tai punishment, but most of the coun- cil are in favor of it. Again. only one of the eight members is a democrat. and the sessions of the council are not always pleasant, the republicans op- posing the governor strenuously at times.
 Phelps Case as a Precedent.
 The case of Silas \. Phelps, who was executed for the murder of sheriff, is considered as indicating that there is no hope for Richeson. Governor Foss strongly urged the council to commJtc the sentence of a poor, ignorant saw mill worker who had provocation in the fact that the sheriff broke into his dwelling. The council, however, re- fused to extend clemencN
 Public Opinion Against Richeson, Pebii- oplalon ia strongly against loUiepcy fqr Richcson, and the gover- nog recognizes tha% He has had an aNc1ist examine the former clergyman, bc. the @o-tcr has not reported that 'he murderer is legally insane.
 Tho e-ec-tive council meets every WcLacsC;iy, Unless the Richeson case !s put before t next Wednesday Riche- son Uin tio in the electric chair, pre- suD21T on Monday morning, May 20. h the oriuion of the lieutenant gover- nor md the other members of the council the ease Is closed unless some thing unforeseen happens.
