made after they had been censored, if such alteration was necessary, under prison regulations. So far as the prison officials are concerned, there has been no inkling of the source of the money by aid of which Chapman has been able to carry on his defense. It has been reported that Chapman had prepared a lifo sketch of himself which will be marketed to pay expenses of his fight for life. but of this nothing is known here.
 The routine in tho prison will go on this week just as 1t goes on day by day. Everything is in readiness for the execution the moment the reprieve expires at midnight of April 5, unless some legal action should intervene. The law says that the death penalty shall be imposed before sunrise, and the warden or deputy warden executing the sen tence of the court shall receive $50 out of the fund appropriated for sunnort of the state prison.
 The present arrangements are th"t those who are to witness the execution shall be summoned 10 the state prison just before midnight on the night of April 5, and just after T. the party will proceed to the death chamber. The members of II will return to the warden's office i'm. medately after the execution and depart from the prison.

 No Delay Expected
 It was the plan to go before Judge Thomas this afternoon, prob ably about ? o'clock, and it Is very likely States Attorney Hugh M. AL corn or his assistant, Reinhart L. Gideon, will be present, It it should develop that the office of the states attorney requested a delay until tomorrow that arrangement would be made. A delay in the pro- ceeding, was not anticipated, how ever.
 NChapman's petition to the federal court consists of 10 typewriter pages. and the exhibits in connec- ton with 1t provide IA additional pages of typewriter matter. The petition was prepared by Attorney Wiley and was signed by Chapman on March 24, before Attorney Frank A. Murphy as q commissioner of the superior court.
 Chapman's Allegations
 The petition, in the opening para graph alleges Chapman as being a federal prisoner of the city of At lanta. Ga, unjustly and unlawfully detained and imprisoned by Warden Scott in violation of the constitu- tion, and of section 19 of the crim- inal code; his alleged illegal and forceful removal on January 24, 1925, from Atlanta 10 the jurisdic- ton Of the state of Connecticut is set forth, which is claimed to be prejudicial because 1t afforded him no opportunity to appeal 10 the courts and avail himself of counsel. and to be afforded the necessary protection the courts afford him.
 Paragraph two alleges the peti- tioner being unlawfully deprived of his liberty by reason Of an illegal order of commitment.
 Charges Unfair Trial
 The petition further alleges:
 (S)-By being compelled and forced to stand trial in Hartford county because of an unlawful agreement and condition of his being brought for trial in that

ASSESSORS MEETING
Boards of Relief Members from All Over State Also Attending Con- ference in Hartford.

Hartford, March 29 P)-Thc meeting of assessors and members of boards of relief from towns in the state was held today with morn ing and afternoon sessions In the hall of the house of representatives at the state capitol. More than 100 were present when State Tax Com- missioner William II. Blodgett called the meeting to order.
 Assessor r. G. Frederick of New Haven was appointed chairman Of the meeting in place of Daniel J. Hcfferman of Bristol, who was pre- vented from taking the position by illness.
 Commissioner BlodSett spoke briefly of some of the major tax problems of the state.
 Mir. Frederick appointed Assessor Arthur o. Lamb of West Haven and Assessor John D. McGowan of Wa tcrtown a committee to notify Gov ernor Trumbull that the meeting would be glad to listen to an ad- dress by him.
 Governor Trumbuli extended a hearty greeting to those present. He referred to the old association and hoped that steps would be taken to secure more frequent meetings of tax officials. The modern way oi doing business was 10 eliminate the practice of guessing at valuations he said. The amount of taxes which was collected in Connecticut was quite a burden, the governor stated and in determining the values ot properties a scientific basis should | be established.
 The other addresses at the morn. ing session were as follows: "Tht 1925 Law on Tax Exemptions" by the Hon. R. A. Winslow, clerk ot the special commission of tax ex. emptions; Farm Valuations for TaJ Purposes" by William B.

 (D-By being the victim of arbi- trary rulings on the part of the trial court of Connecticut, which to the prejudice of your petitioner. re- suited in his conviction on circum- stantial evidence, partly on the op- portunity so given to the witnesses to observe your petitioner in the court room before his actual trial, and at the same time presented the occasion in which the witnesses were permitted 10 be together during the trial and thus be able to listen 10 each others testimony and hence build up stronger case of corro- horating evidence against your pe- titioner.

courts. This would pave tho way for federal injunction preventing the warden from executing the con- demned man until the case had been finally terminated in the federal courts.
 New Witness Found
 With Chapn.an's execution date but a week away. counsel for the convicted slayer are prepared to launch their last minute efforts to savea him from the gallows.
 Holding an affidavit signed by Earl r. Wetmore of Lynn, Mass, who declares he saw a man he be- l!eves to be Chapman in New York the night before Patrolman James Skolly was slain in New Britain, Chapman's lawyers will take their fight into three courts this week. In one of the three they hope 10 secure legal action which will give them an opportunity 10 prove Chap mans alibi that he was not in New Britain on the night of the murder, and to secure a postponement of the hanging now set for April 6.
 The federal court here is the scene of the first phase of the legal battle.
 Two actions in state courts will follow. A writ of coram nobis probably will be sought in the eu- perior court In Hartford tomorrow, 1t being claimed that there was an error in the federal proceedings be- fore Chapman was put on trial for murder a year ago. The third stcr is expected to follow Wednesday when a motion for new trial on the grounds of newly discovered eyl- dence will be offered.
 Willing to Testify
 It Is in this last move that Wet. more probably will figure. The Lynn man, a lunch cart waiter anG a chemistry student has expressed a willingness to tell his story ir court in Hartford.
 Meanwhile, preparations are bcinf completed at the state prison for the execution. and according to th' officials there, the prisoners mod, of living shows little change as tn, hour of hanging approaches. He l. confident, according to his counsel that he will win in the court battl, that Is to be waged this week.
