When fire broke out in the alms- house barn late yesterday. firem, n raced to the scene, spurred by vi- sions of elderly and helpless in- mates perhaps trapped within.
 But on arrival they were grest- ed by white -haired and bewhiske T. ed members of an impromptu bucket brigade. who were hcb- bling around. brandishing canes and crutches, and cackling. you're too late. by jiminy crickets! We lay two lines of hose and put the fire out ourselves!" One fireman was so befuddled that he accidentally sounded a second alarm, which caused Fire Chief Edward F. Da- hill to hurriedly abandon his seat at the circus and make a needless trip to the scene.

The highly publicized couple passed through Chicago last night in a tightly curtained, closely guarded private car.

Astor an- nounced before his marriage that he and Miss French planned a tour of the Pacific northwest which would last until September. They got only as far as Seattle. Two days of seclusion in a hotel there were ended abruptly by a dash to their private car and a fast trip east ward

NINE SLAYERS
 FOUND GUILTY
Murder Took Place Last Christmas Eve-TwO
 Get Death Penalty

New York, July 14.-(UP)- Nine Armenian defendants charged with participating in the murder of Archbishop Leon Tourian as he marched, dressed in his prin1ate's s regalia, down the aisle of the Armenian Holy Cross church Christmas eve, were convicted to- day after a trial that lasted more than a month. Two of the defend- ants were found guilty of first de- gree murder which carries man. datory death penalty. They were Matios Leylegian, charged with the actual stabbing before the eyes of the congregation, and Nishan Sarkisian. The seven others were found guilty of first degree. man. slaughter. They were Osgan Yar- ganian, Martin Mozian. Harry Sarafian, John Mirijanian, Mihran Zadian, Chanes Andreassian and Juan Gonzales Tchalitkian.
 The archbishop's murder alleg- edly- was plotted by members of Tashnag, a secret Armenian society opposed to the present Armenian Soviet republican government which the archbishop supported. Tourian is understood to have in- cured the displeasure of the or ganization last year at the Century of Progress in Chicago. As rank ing prelate of the Armenian Apos- tolic church in the western world, Tourian was to preside at Armen- ian day ceremonies at the fair, but he refused to ascend the speakers stand until the Tashnag tricolor had been removed.
 The state charged that after this incident members of the society followed him to Boston and Wor- cester. Mass, plotting his death. be- fore assassinating him in highly dramatic fashion in the midst of the Christmas eve ritual. The nine defendants went on trial June 8. and the general session building was closely guarded during the trial. The case went to the jury at 12:3O p. m. yesterday.

PRIMARY LISTS NOT AFFECTED BY
 NAMES DROPPED
l,5OO Were Cut Off By Recent Events - But
 More Coming Back

Despite the fact that approxi- mately 1,500 names were dropped from the primary lists of the dem ocratic and republican parties during the past few weeks by the registrars of voters much of this loss is expected to be made up during the next four weeks. With primary battles practically us- sured in the republican party and one still a possibility in the demo- cratic ranks, workers in the vari- ous factions are reported to he busy at the present time securing the names of persona willing 10 be enrolled so that their respective candidates will show strength when the ''run-offs" take place.
 Under the law, the time for til- ing names on the primary lists here expires the latter part of next month. This gives factional workers only four or five weeks in which to get their work done.
 Efforts to bring about harmony among the republicans of the fir teenth senatorial district having failed, it is the strong belief of many that the three-cornered bat tie for the nomination of senator between Lewis s. Reed, Major J.

CROW LETTER IS BELIEVED WORK
 OF SOME JOKER
Joke May Become BOOm= erang If Guilty Party
 Is Found

The letter received yesterday by George Yuskis still held the center of the stage to-day as state police continued their vain hunt for the wraith-like John Crow, who has been free man since he commit ted two Wolcott murders on June 24th. State police this morning planned to open a detailed investi- gation into the identity of the sender of the letter, now believed to be the work of crank or a practical joker.
 State police made it plain today that it will be no joke" if the per. son who sent the letter is found Federal laws prohibit the mailing of threats, even in "fun," and pro. vide severe penalties for those who do so. The Waterbury postoffice is the scene of the first part of the investigation as authorities seek tC locate the box from which the let. ter was mailed Thursday after noon.
 Writing Disguised
 Crows handwriting, study of va- rious samples revealed, is decidedly uHCGItdlA anu SOIIlG Ol lle SdIIl- pies can hardly be recognized as written by the same person. The lettering at times is bold and sprawling, at other times precise and small.
 Lieutenant William Schatzman termed the mysterious letter the work of crank or perverted hu- morist, but nevertheless kept four men on guard at the Yuskis home all night long. There had been only two for the past few nights and the additional troopers last night were an extra precaution.
 The services of volunteers, it ap- peared this morning, would be util- ized in another search through the woods where it is believed by state police that Crow is still in hiding. Twice this week Crow has been sighted, once by state trooper Patrick O'Toole, who fired six vain shots at him, and Mrs Patterson B. French, a neighbor who has known Crow for several years.

 Berlin, July 14-UP)-Four- teen days after crisis that threat ened civil war, Germans awoke to- day realizing clearly for the first time just what had threatened them and just what they escaped.
 Many realized also for the first time the calibre of the man whom millions call "The Leader"
 Chancellor Adolf Hitler, remem- bering how those in the Kroll opera house galleries sprang spon- hysterical1y when he addressed his all- Nazi Reichstag last night, and the thunderous cheers from crowG- ed streets when he drove back to his chancellery, may have realized also what seemed an undoubted fact - that he had won a revital- vitalized confidence in himself.
 His speech was what Hermann Goering, his chief aide in the cab inet, called the final accounting of his handling of the plot of storm | troop leaders to eorganiZe the government and, failing his per sonal approval, to assassinate him He Spared No One
 It was an accounting which | spared no one not even himself He said of the 77 men who died as l traitors:
 "I was the supreme court of jus tice of Germany. ordered then shot. am ready before history tt accept responsibility for those 2 hours of the bitterest decisions oi my life."
 But, as he said that in ringing shouts that brought his hearers cheering to their feet, his first pounding his rostrum, he already has revealed why he was ready to accept responsibility.

 The feeling of some was that
 Hitler's speech had added very lit-

 strengthening the chancellor's po-
 sition in Germany. It was pointed
 out that his speech gave the mass
 of the German people their first extended picture of what has

 Favorable reception of Hitler's remarks by the populace should enable him to consolidate the gains resulting from the wiping out of antagonistic elements within the Nazi party.
 German Officials Silent As to the Johnson feud with the Nazis, interest was centered on the question of whether Germany would now let the matter drop. German representatives here were silent regarding possibility that some additional protest, possibly
 in the form of a note from Berlin, would be made.
