 AS APPEAL IS SOUGHT
Lawyer Freedman Today Files nfo- ton For Corrected Finding, 6
 Technical Move

Hartford, June 1. Nathan o. Freedman who was associated with Judge Frederick E. Groehl in the defense of Gerald Chapman today filed with clerk of the superior court motion for a corrected find- ing in the appeal now pending in the supreme court of errors from the verdict Of the jury and judgment of guilty of first degree murder. Chap man Is under sentence of death for the killing of Policeman James Skelly of New Britain on October 12 last.
 Today was the last day upon which a motion for a corrected find ing might be filed and the action of Chapman's counsel was taken with q view to protecting all his rights in the appeal. The motion was more or less formal in nature, requesting the court to correct the finding so as to include certain paragraphs which had been excluded in the original finding of Judge Newell Jennings. for the reason that no exceptions were taken at the trial of the case by Chapman's counsel.
 Chapman was visited at the state prison last week by his counsel. He was found to be in excellent spirits and naturally awaiting with keen interest the continuation of the fight to save his life.

 Since leaving the presidency he has been almost inactive in poll- ties. His only public appearances have been on the speaking plat form, where he continued until the last to expound his quaint philoso- phies. a
 Mir. and Mrs. Marshall bought a home here in. September. 1923, at 1889 North Illinois street in the heart of one of the old residential districts. In seeking a house Mir. Marshall said he would need a place with a front porch, back yard and a nook for his books. Included In his 2,500 volumes he said he had "a little of everything from Abe Lin coin to Abe Martin"
