MRS. ULLMAN, WIFE OF
 POLITICIAN, PASSES
New Haven Woman Victim of Infection Suffered
 in Egypt

New Haven, Conn.,, July 27 P- Mrs. Isaac M. Ullman, wife of Col. Isaac NJ. Ullman. prominent repub- lican leader. died early today at her summer home in Woodmont where she had been receiving medical treatment for some time.
 Mrs. Ullman was Flora V. Adler, daughter of the late Max Adler, be- fore her marriage to the colonel on February ?. 1892.
 Besides Col. Ullman, Mrs. Ullman is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Frederick Wetzler. one grandson. Frederick Wetzler. Jr.. and one brother, Frederick Adler.
 Mrs. Ullman was deeply interested in the many civic projects and charities of the city and while she rarely played prominent part in their affairs, she was always to be found in the background with the workers.
 Several years ago, upon returning from a trip through Europe, Mrs. Ullman was found to be suffering from an infection in one. of her limbs, which was attributed to the bite of an insect in Egypt and her physicians found 1t necessary to am- putate the infected leg.
 Since that illness, Colonel Ullman has to a great extent withdrawn from politics which were up until that time occupying his time almost constantly and voluntarily retired to home life.

Among the many unusual incidents in MT. Weyh's life was the fact that he was employed only one place, Lan- ders.

OF TWISTED
 MURDER STAMPS 1T ONE OF
 WORST IN STATES HISTORY
DEMPSEY IS OFFERED
 S3OO,OOO FOR BATTLE
Boston Promoter Wants Second Bout-Sharkey
 Is Willing

Boston, July 27 P>-A flat guar i rantee of s3Oo,OoO or 40 per cent of i the gate receipts has been offered 1 Jack Dempsey for a return battle with Jack Sharkey by Tom Good win, matchmaker of the Suffolk A. A. of Boston. Goodwin feels that his
 offer is substantially better than any terms the former champion can | make with Rickard for a bout with Tunney and that the differences of , opinion concerning the events lead ing up to the knockout of sharkey i in the seventh round leave plenty of room for another try.
 Goodwin's telegram sent late last night to Dempsey said:
 Am prepared to guarantee you
 sSoo,Ooo and give you 40 per cent privilege to box Jack Sharkey either at Braves Field, Boston, or at Polo Grounds, New York. about Septem- Der 22. Braves Field can seat SO,- GOO with additional stands and seats
 on ground. If you prefer New York, will stage show at Polo Grounds in conjunction with Jimmy Johnston, who has New York club charter.
 Will post s3o0,000 with Los Angeles bank in Escrow as soon as you sign contract"
 While Goodwin would like to stage the fight in Boston because of the
 prestige it would give other match
 es arranged here, he recognizes
 Dempsey's drawing power in New
 York and the Californian's hanker- ing for the big city.
 Goodwin later in the day an-
 nounced that Sharkey had signed
 articles for the fight on promise of
 20 per cent of the receipts.
 Goodwin said that one strong req son for wanting to stage the fight here was that he would not be up against any price limit on tickets. He felt confident he could give 10000 persons in Braves field as good or
 better seats than they could have
 in the Yankee Stadium.
 Newton, Mass. July 27 R-"Of
 course I would" was Jack Sharkey's
 answer when asked today if he
 would meet Jack Dempsey again if Tom Goodwin should succeed in his efforts to arrange return bout.
 I'm always in condition to fight"
 he said, and the suggested date of
 September 22 would be all right for
 me. l am feeling fine now although
 I was sick Saturday and Sunday. I
 am certain that I received no in- jury which would prevent my meet ing Dempsey again."
 Sharkey was busy again today cleaning up his affairs so that he
 can leave with his family in a day
 or two for their camp at Epping,

 Please take care of Thomas until I return. He's a good cat and de- serves the best of care"

Billadena, Confessed Slayer, Calmly Relates
 How Girl, Trussed and Unable to Move, Lived More Than AS Hours.
First Attack on Child Oc- cured July g and Two Days Later She Was Still Alive When He Saw Her.

Winsted, July 27 R-The grew. some story of the manner in which John Billadella killed ten-year-old Rose Bordino whose body was found in tlH bushes of a swamp at High land lake Sunday afternoon, was told in part by Coroner Samuel A. Herman, of Litchfield county, today. The coroner went to Litchfield jail yesterday afternoon and for an hour talked with Billadella. who has act ed with indifference since his arrest. Today the coroner said that Billa- della told him that he enticed Rose into the abandoned factory of the New England Pin company, in Ridge street. on Saturday, July 16, in the morning.
 This was the day on which tho girl disappeared and search for her begun.
 Buried Child Alive Billadella said that he took tho girl to the boiler house of the plant, and later drew a burlap bag over her head and tied it about her neck with large sized cord. He also tied her arms and feet together. The coroner said that Billadella said he then carried the girl to nearby coal bin and covered her with large heavy boards. The little girl was alive. Billadella said he returned to the girl the next day. Sunday, and she was still alive. He saw the girl again on Monday and she was breathing. His next visit was Sun day afternoon, the 24th. when he removed the body to an automobile. and took it to the swamp near the north end of the lake and where he was seen to place a bundle in the bushes.
 Coroner Herman said that the re- mainder of Billadella's story would be told to the court. He will pre- pare his finding holding Billadella responsible for the homicide and permit the county authorities to take him on a warrant for arraign- ment in court. Billadella at present is held on the coroner's formal or-
 
 der.
 Prompt Prosecution It Is expected the action of prose- cutting officers will be taken quickly and without advance notice in order that the court may not be the scene of a gathering with possibilities of turbulence as the feeling is said to be intense over developments in the case. The story related by Coroner Her. man clears up for the police many points on which they were hay be- cause of the callousness of Billadel- la. They had the impression that Billadella strangled the girl with his hands after an assault. They had not had any clear intimation that the child remained alive for more than AS hours, it being assumed from Billadella's story that he strangled her after the assault on the 18th possibly after she had said she would tell of what he had done.
 Coroner Herman yesterday said that in his many years of criminal investigations he had never had ono which was so distressingly deplor- able as the death of Rose Bordino. He did not at the time relate what Billadella had said to him but to- days preliminary to his finding he did briefly speak of the confession made by the youth.

GOVERNOR FULLER HAS ? MADE SECOND VISIT
Now Known to Have Been At Prison to See Condemned
 Prisoners Last Night.

Boston, July 27 Ex-Governor AL van T. Fuller apparently paid his second expected visit to state pris- on. where Nicola Sacco and Barto- lomeo Vanzetti await his decision, last night entirely unohserved.
 Reporters today checking up on his visit to the scene of the shoot ing seven years ago in South Brain tree, after he had unobtrusively slipped away from his executive of fees in the state house. ran into rumors that he had also visited the prison.
 Prison officials finally admitted that the governor called there last night but refused to tell how long he stayed or with whom he talked. Besides Sacco and Eanzetti it was thought that he might have wished to question further Celestino Ma Geiros, who has asserted that a Providence gang of which he was a member murdered the paymaster and his guard and not the two men who have been convicted.
 Both prisoners continued their hunger strike today although Van- zetti drank some coffee at breakfast time

Washington. July 27.-lP)-The paragraph which Lieutenant c. c. Champion fought so valiantly to save in his spectacular altitude flight Monday morning, today registered for him a disappointing figure of 3S,559 feet.
 Champion, with an altimeter which he said showed a height of 47,00O feet stuck to his blazing plane during a courageous descent, to save the instrument which he thought would yield him a worlds record.
 Today the bureau of standards, whose cold analysis must be the final word in such matters. announc- ed through the National Aeronautic association. that so far as official records go, Champion must try again.
 The recognized record is 0,s20 feet, held by Callizo. of France.
 By climbing to 3S,559 feet Lieu tenant Champion exceeded his previ- ous high altitude record by 6o4 feet but failed to equal the American record of 3S,704 feet established by Lieutenant MacReady of the army air service on January 29, 1926, over McCook field. Ohio.

REQUEST IS TOO LATE
Word of S25,OOO. Which Might Have Saved Woman's Life, Comes Two Weeks After Death.

New York, July 27 (UP)-William Rode, the 11-year- boy whose heroic struggles to provide for his small brother and his mother be- came known two weeks ago when Mrs. Bode died in poverty. learned today that he might be heir to $25.- 900.
 Agents Of the Children's society said they had been told an estate of that sum had been bequeathed to Mrs. Rode by a relative In Austria. Efforts to reach her before her death were unsuccessful.
 William and George. three years old, were in children's court where provision was made for them by the Catholic Sharity association when they were informed Of the inheri- tance that might be theirs.
New Britain herald., 1927-07-27

A medical man who was ques- toned by a representative of local paper regarding the family said:
 Tt is case of atavism. "The tailed father and the children who inherit the appendage are undoubt- edly throw-backs. It is intermit- tent heredity. It Is all marking back to a more or less remote ancestor due to the re-assertion or re- awakening of ancestral contributions which have lain for several genera tions latent or unexpressed. There is no doubt that this family pos sessing perfect tail appendages Is anthropologically very important. They are noteworthy links in the chain of mans evolution"
 A reputable Sydney newspaper in- vestigated the story of the tailed family and vouched for its exis- tence.

Lieut.. Williams to Try For Speed
 Record of 300 Miles An Hour and May Attempt His Flight Tomorrow
Has 1250 H. P, 4Cylinder Motored Plane and Experi
 menting In Opening Her Up" Probably Will Take Place Somewhere Near New York.

flying enthusiasts. and is equipped with a 24-cylinder watercooled motor, which in power "goes far be- yond any engine known to have been built anywhere in the world" navy flying experts said.
 Under international contest rules, Williams must better the previous records by at least four miles an hour to have his speed recognized. He probably will make the speed at tempt over 3-kilometer straight away course, although a triangular 50-kilometer closed course like that used in the Schneider races is also considered. officials said.
 The power of Williams motor takes him into an almost unexplored realm of aerodynamics as soon as he "opens her up," and the slightest miscalculation as to his machines strength would result in almost cer- tain death.
 National Aeronautic association officials will make official observa- tions of Williams flights, and his speed probably will be timed cleo trically to fractions of seconds.
