CLERICAL CHANCES l
 EXPECTED LOCALLY
Transcript Expected to Announce New Assign
 ments in Next Issue

Persistent rumors were heard today that tomorrow will bring public announcement by Most Rev Maurice F. McAuliffe, bishop of Hartford, of many changes in cleri- cal and pastoral assignments about the state. Some of the changes, 1t is reported, will be entirely unex- pected by the general public and startling in their endure.
 One report, which has been given wide circulation in many parts of the diocese, says that at least 25 changes will be given out tomorrow by the bishop. The appointments and changes are usually announced in the Catholic Transcript, weekly diocesan publication, which is is- sued on Thursdays.
 Waterbury, it is expected, will be considerably affected by any changes which are made, despite the fact that many appointments and transfers have already been made here since Bishop McAuliffe was installed as head of the dio- cese last spring. Several we'll known Waterbury priests are be- lieved to be in line for transfers t0 other cities of the state.
 Changes announced two weeks ago by the bishop affected several churches here, the Immaculate Conception, St Joseph's and Our Lady of Lourdes.

HARRY PIERPONT
 DIES IN CHAIR
One of the Last Members of Dillinger Gang Goes
 Last Route

Columbus, O., Oct 17-UP)- An entry in Ohio penitentiary files today recorded the final chapter of the John Dillinger outlaws-elec- trocution of Harry Pierpont. The gangster, executed for his part in the staying of Sheriff Jess Sarber at Lima, O., a year ago. entered the death chamber at 12:07 a. m. to- day. He was pronounced dead eight minutes later.
 Father J. A. Sullivan. prison chaplain. and Father John Smith of Cleveland accompanied Pierpont to the chair. He held crucifix. Pierpont made public gesture of acceptance of the Catholic faith. Gone was the profane defiance with which he entered the peniten- tiary last March, predicting that he would be freed by John Dillin- ger, his leader.
 Pierpont was pale from wounds received when he and Charles Makley dashed for freedom from the death house last month.
 Makley was slain by guards. A grave was prepared today for Pierpont near Leipsic, O., close to that of Makley.

 ing Marker Numbers Aided Burglars

Thieves who broke into the fruit warehouse of Joseph Cantonzari at sS Meadow street during the night escaped with more than 200 boxes or wine grapes, stealing the truck Kept at the premises to take away their loot. The stolen truck. hgnf delivery model, was found on upper Hill street late this morning by Patrolman Michael Carroll. but It was empty and contained no clues to the identity of the grape thieves.
 The goods stolen is valued by the owner at more than $500 and included 200 boxes of wine grapes, a box of pears and six boxes of ta- ble grapes. Investigation of the break was held up this morning when the victim of the burglary, MT Cantonzari, could not remem- Der the marker numbers of his truck and they had to be secured from the motor vehicle department. A city-wide notice to police to be on the lookout for the, truck, after the markers had been ascertained, resulted in its recovery by Patrol man Carroll.
 Lieut.. Detective William Pollard and Detective William Foley be- lieve that either the stolen truck was used twice to transport the stolen boxes or that the thieves had another truck in addition to the stolen one. The stolen truck could hodl 100 boxes at time at the most, since each box weighs ap- proximately 32 pounds.
 Entrance to the place, which is the corner of Meadow street and Chatfield avenue, was gained by bending back a quarter-inch thick iron mesh on the window and opening the doors from the inside. The burglars first attempted to get into the warehouse by forcing locks on the front door. but were unable to make an entrance.
 Police Discover Break
 Teh mesh on the side window, the detectives said. was unusually heavy and great force had to be used to bend it back and open the window so as to gain entrance to the warehouse. The truck was kept in the warehouse by the own CT.
