 Fleeing from his Hartford board ing house last Wednesday. Lorenz was captured in Windsor, Ont, Sat urday. States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn announced last night that Lorenz had made a full confession of his crime to County Detective Ed ward J. Hickey and two other of- licers.
 His case. Alcorn said would be presented to @ grand jury this week and an immediate trial will be asked.
 Anderson was shot in the back ot the head last Monday night and his body was dumped in a field in Wethersfield where it was found Tuesday afternoon. Lorenz accord ing 10 Alcorn, confessed firing the shot to escape payment of loan of $500, made by Anderson, who had asked for the money.

democrats had endorsed all the other republican office seekers except him. self, William H. Day, candidate for comptroller, said, The reason is we'll known by anyone who remem- l bers what he read in the papers after l my election by the common council Mir. Day was kept from the office of comptroller by Mayor Paonessa who at the time wanted Acting Comptrol- Ter Bliss w. Clark to stay for the remainder of the unexpired term of Hanford L. Curtis.
 Edward F. Hall. chairman of the citys board of finance and taxation and state comptroller, again told of the necessity for more money annu- ally to carry on expenses incident to running the city. He gave Quigley which is being sponsored by both the democrats and republicans.
 Casale Draws Tax Parallel
 Attorney S. Gerard Casale, former school committeeman, presented tax bills given hi mby property owner. In 1920 during Quigley's term he had a bill for s1S5 but in 1928 the bill on the same property was S474.60, the lawyer said. Casale said he be- lieyed this should be sufficient an swer to any criticism of increases while Quigley was mayor. The taxes were doubled by men in office since the Quigley administrations, he con cluded.
 Attorney Michael A. Sexton who has been speaking on behalf of the republican party candidate since last Thursday again sent sharp shafts Tn the direction of McDonough. He called the attention of the gathering to the fact the democratlc candidate had ceased throwing mud and telling half truths either because his conscience smote him or someone had pointed out his mistake He again presented the record to refute claims that Quigley favored a ot mill tax.
