Closing Exercises Last Nght-Eiartford Church Re- ports Miraculous Cure During NOvena Program Girl Relieved of Paralysis

In the display of religious fer- xor. in faithful attendance and in the number of persons participating in inc exercises. the novena in honor of St Ann, which came to an impressive close in St Ann's church last evening was the most successful ever held in this city.
 Rev Ernest A. Lamontagne, pas tor of St Ann's church, was i'm. mensely pleased with the interest shown and the exceptionally large attendances. T really can't find words with which to express my feelings" Father Lamontagne re- marked to-day. Tt was magni- ficent event" Rev Fathers Grabel and Giroux of St Ann de Beaupre. Quebec, Canada, who conducted the services were also elated over the success.
 Last evenings exercises included special prayers, sermon, benedic- ton and the application of the relic If st Ann. The church was filled to overflowing, hundreds standing during the services, which was Q nightly feature of the novena as far as attendance was concerned.
 No cures were reported, for as d matter of fact no particular att tention is paid locally to any re- ported "cures" unless facts are authentically substantiated by a thorough Investigation. There Is no question, but what scores of faithful attendants have obtained special favors, spiritually, but as far as physical miracles are con- cerned, no mention is ever made here.

 The girl, Miss Violet Mclean, daughter of Mir and Mrs James j.. Mclean of 12S6 Broad street, Hartford, was escorted from the church after prostrating herself in thanksgiving before the main altar. Her family later confirmed the girls story of a cure.
 Rev Donat Cote, acting pastor of, the church, declined, to make any comment pending an investiga- ton.
 In past years "cures" were re- ported at novenas held in Bristol. but church authorities always ex- hibit a reluctance in discussing them without considering all facts of the incidents.

 G1assford appeared on the scene at the time when police had been expected to begin clearing out the buildings and arresting all who re- sisted.
 T have no orders to clear these grounds" Glassford said. My last instructions were that there would be no raging of the buildings until certain legal requirements had been met. So far as the. police are concerned, it's all off for the pres ent!" taking with him the 54 police re- serves stationed at the bonus army settlement.
 Walter W. Waters. commanding the bonus army, had instructed his men to sit in the billets and not to move unless arrested by police Or eyicted bodily. Waters had told the veterans to offer no: resistance, but his instructions were unneces- sary as no show of force developed.
 "Nething's going to happen" Waters said after the police de- parted, in explanation Of the new developments. Everyone's going to sit tight in their billets and life is going on here just the same" George w. Rhine. the wrecking contractor, was on hand with his wrecking crew. He made no move to attack the buildings when he found out that the men were still inside.
 IT didn't put these men there and it's not my job to put 'em out, Rhine said. "And I'm certainly not wrecking any building on top of two thousand men"

moral turpitude.
 Young Fageras has expressed preference for a return trip to his native home in Liverpool. England, rather than, a long stretch in a county jail or states prison. He has been in this country only two years and is liable to deportation owing to the seriousness of the charges against him. He eagerly pleaded. guilty to permit the .immt- grafton officials take charge of him. From a financial point 1t woulL be cheaper for the state to have him deported.
 Eageras confessed to, the police to- the charges of breaking and entering Higgins drug store on the corner of East Main and Wall streets on Sunday, July 17th when
 he made a getaway with $17 and on Sunday, July 24th, when his second visit netted him the conn pensating sum of $80. Several
 weeks ago he. picked up $40 by breaking into the A & F, store at 257 Walnut street.
 Fageras' success in making two successful raids upon the Higgins drug. store is. easily explained. He
 was known and trusted by the proprietor and clerk and associ-
 ated with a number of young men
 who frequently patronize the.place.
 He had proved useful. on one or two occasions in doing favors for the management and consequently
 was placed in position to know the layout of the store and the
 habits of the employees. @He was not suspected until the police were called in to check up on the second
 burglary staged last Sunday.
 The young man was brought to Waterbury by relatives who had guaranteed that he would not be- come a public pauper. When they were informed that he had been arrested on charges of burglary they; were willing that he be re- turned to England. It was a matter of coincidence that Immigration Officer Kenny was in court to-day on other matters. When the case was called to his attention he agreed to take the young man with ] him to Hartford for the purpose of l having him deported later provided there were no objections raised by his offlce.

s"They have worked through anony- nous letters, anonymous telephone calls. false rumors and in other ways. I believe the recent runs on the First National and other Chi cago banks were caused, at least in part, by this destructive and subversive campaign"
 Traylor's charge was substantial ed by letters and telegrams seized by state police in raid on Row lands room in the Hotel Roose- welt at. Pontiac, Mich. The mes sages. in form of reports to Row land, told of progress in causing runs on banks in Chicago ana Cleveland.
 While Captain Ira H. Marmon of the Michigan state police, told the United Pres that Rowland had left Detroit and had instructed that mail and packages be forwarded to him in care of general delivery, | Chicago, police and federal opera lives here said they had received no orders to arrest him. | Although Traylor was explicit in statements indicating his belief in the enormous scope of the plot and | it's actual operation in many in- | stances, he decnned to say whether banks had co-operated In any plan to combat the. attack.
 He intimated he considered the plot a serious threat but appeared confident the banks would not be shaken, although he asked not 10 be quoted except as to the plots extent of manifestations.
 Traylor said he knew nothing of Rowland nor of his reported visit here.
 | Rowland was said to have gone to Detroit Saturday from Pontiac, i Mich, to meet William z. Foster communist candidate for president Michigan state police declared they had evidence Rowland has beer working under orders from central communist headquarters in Ne" York.

NOW TALKING OF
 JOHN Q. TlLSON
 FOR JUDCESHIP
And Hint That Hoover May Appoint Him, That Is If Mir Hoover Wins the Election

New Haven, Conn. July 27-(U P)-Friends of Congressman John Q. Tilson, former majority leader in the House of Representatives, who announced yesterday he would resign, believed today he would receive a federal judgeship should PreGident Hoover be reelected in November. The intended action of the, former, administration repre- sentative in the lower branch of congress was received with pro- found regret by prominent repub- licans, but was not unexpected. It had been rumored for some time he would resign to take some such post as judge of the court of claims Or court of customs appeals
 Democratic hopes of capturing the third district rose with the congressman's announcement. Even two years ago when Governor Will bur l.. Cross gave the democratic ticket great momentum, Tilson de- feated James A. Shanley by 506o votes, running 200 votes ahead of the republican candidate for, gov- ernor in New Haven itself, home town of both nominees. Shanley is expected to be democratic nominee again this fall.

 John Gottlieb Wendell, Ella Wendeps brother and his own al legged father, Morris said, once took him to the mansion. Wendell went into a rear room.
 Morris said he heard angry voices, a woman arguing with Wen del. Ella Wendell then appeared, he testified, clad in her habitual black silk gown and cried out to her brother: A

 At that, Morris said, he became angry. With a shout of You're all a pack of nuts" he rushed from the house, :.
 John Gottlieb Wendell followed the 26-year- youth out on the avenue and, weeping, said:
 "Ella doesn't like to admit that was legally married"
 Morris, now 52-years old, sup. ported his statements with docu- ments which included will. mar riage certificate and letters. Two witnesses corroborated his testi- mony in part.
 Among the papers Morris intro duced was a letter signed John G. WendeT' which said:
 "I was married to your mother, Mary Ellen Devine, in Castle Gar den, New York. on June II. 1876. Sisterly opposition has delayed recognition of our marriage. Your mother was a Catholic and we quarreled and she went back 10 Scotland"

(COnt1nued rom Page presented mass of testimony to prove he is sane and premeditated the crime. A verdict was expected tonight.
 Gorgouloff. covering like hunt ed animal, repeatedly interrupted the testimony by crying in a trem- bling voice such phrases as:
 "All Europe is fighting me. The French government killed my idea. Now kill me. am only a Cadaver." ]"
 The cafe proprietor where Cor gouloff nerved himself with wine and brandy just before shooting the president, testified he appeared calm and normal.
 Gorgouloff reached over the dock and tried to embrace his wife as she went on the stand, both lOud- ly crying terms of endearment. The wife, a small red-faced woman, told the court their married life was happy and both had made tre- mendous sacrifices to give Gorgou- loff a medical education. Swindlers obtained most of their money, she said.
 The session was suspended brief ly when she appeared about to col. lapse.
 Mime Gorgouloff testified her husband began showing signs of an unbalanced mind two weeks before the shooting. He would open the window at night and shout wildly into the street, she said. At cin- ema in Monte Carlo several days before the shooting, he wildly ap- plauded a picture of President Doumer on the screen.
 Concluding, she knelt before the judge and sobbed:
 Have pity on me and my child"
 Possibly the last door of escape was closed, however, when Judge Dreyfus overruled a request of the defense that the jury be asked. "Is Gorgouloff mentally responsible ?"
 Donat Guigue, states attorney, in summing up, called Gorgouloff a depraved. bestial sadist, living off his wife and mistresses.
 He is a rasputin who emigrat- ed" Guigue shouted.
 The judge threatened to clear the court when the crowd howled in protest against Guigue's asper- sions on the sincerity of Corgou- loff's lawyer.
 Guigue, in demanding the gull lotine for Gorguloff on the grounds of premeditation and sanity warned the jury against the ap- parent signs of insanity Gorgoulofl had shown at the trial.
 Nothing is easier than for q doctor to feign insanity" he said
 He urged no mercy.

 George Wakeman Wheeler was a southerner who became an adopted son of Connecticut and one of her most distinguished pub- lie servants after coming north to attend Yale college.
 He was born at Woodville, Miss. December l, 1860-the opening year of the Civil war.
 He obtained his A. B. degree from Yale college in 1881 and two years later was graduated by Yale Law school with an l.. L. B. de- gree. The university awarded him an honorary l.. L. D. in 1919.
 He began practice of law at Bridgeport and in 1890 was made city attorney.
 Three years later Governor Lu- zon B. Morris recognized his bud- ding talent by appointing him to the superior court bench.
 The following year he married Agnes l.. Macy of New York city.
 Governor Frank B. Weeks ele- vated him to the supreme court of errors in 1910 and 10 years later he was chosen chief justice-a po- sition he held with distinction un- til he was automatically retired two years ago.
 From 1912 to 1919 he gave his time and talent to guidance of young lawyers as chairman of the state bar examining committee. During the World war he was a member of the state council for defense. 1 After his retirement many of his friends urged that the demo- crats utilize his active talents by nominating him for United States senator. It was generally believed. however, that he was too ardent 8 'dry" to be available.
 He once said he was personal dry but not altogether satisfied with the prohibition law.
 Governor Wilbur l.. Cross made him a member of. the state vet erans' home building commission and he made a bitter attack upon republican members of the com mission for their choice of the Rocky Hill site. for the projected home. He delayed the choice but finally was overruled.
 The deceased court official will be remembered as having been the principal speaker at the testi- monial dinner for Judge Frank F McEvoy at the Elton here two years ago. The dinner was given by the Waterbury Bar association in honor of Judge McEvoy's being elevated to the bench of the su- lperior court.
