HONEST HUNTER
 FREED BY COURT

George Wagner of Cheshire was granted 8 nolle on charges of vio- lating the fish and game laws, when the circumstances in the case were explained by Prosecut- ing Attorney William J. Larkin, Jr., to Judge Miles F. McNin in common pleas court today.
 Wagner trapped a baby coon by mistake, when he was engaged in trapping musk-rats in oxford last March. He wrote to the state fish and game commission asking permission for permit to keep the coon. The commission wrote back, inquiring how the man happened to have the animal. When the explanation was for warded, agents paid him a call and placed him under arrest.
 He was fined in the oxford town court when arraigned there but took an appeal to the com mon pleas court at Waterbury. Prosecutor Larkin stated he be- lieved no court or jury in the land would convict the accused after all of the circumstances were ex- plained, and recommended a nolle. The recommendation was adopted.

 A six foot, 200-pounder, who mixed dirt farming with "Lawing' and a brief career as @ college pro- lessor, Martin sat at his desk in his small, unpretentious office on the ninth floor of the towering capitol and talked of his general plan of action.
 From a window there was a birds eye view of the raised. con- crete slab where Long is buried in the exact center of the handicapped approach to the capitol.
 "I am going to Washington with an open mind," Martin said. 'I have very definite opinions upon such subjects as the bonus--for which I shall vote.
 T took my degree from Louisi- ana State University in agriculture. taught agriculture and chemis- try at Southwestern college at Laf- ayette, La., and I worked my own farm until floods ruined me as they had my father and grandfath- CT.
 T prefer, however, to reserve my opinion upon the AAA until after have had an opportunity to dis cuss the national farming prob lems with department of agricul- ture heads.
 'I favor redistribution of wealth. President Roosevelt made 8 move in that direction in the last con- gress. 1t is possible he will go fur- ther in the next session and if his plan seems to be honestly aimed at that end, I shall support him."
 Martins stand on the bonus means that the senate bloc that favors immediate cash payment for veterans did not lose strength with Long's death from an assassin s bullet.
 Martin had announced for the six year term, subject to the democra- tic primary in January, but he ac- cepted the appointment to Longs unexpired term as comprise in the interest of machine harmony.
 His appointment will raise the question of senate committee ap- pointments. Long held none.
 Martin was asked if reports that he "toted a gun" as a carryover from his days as sheriff of St. Mar tins Parish (county) were correct.

 tomorrow: another mother tomor- row - and the home, a home no longer, becomes a thing even more precarious than a boarding house and with much less morale.
 And now comes a last attack. As if 1t were not sufficient to tear down the altar and to uproot the home, there is left for our day the last sad onsla ught made against humanity by those who worship at no altar, and know little of the joy or permanence of the home. It is the attack on motherhood itself. The attackers claim that owing to economic conditions there are too many people in the world, and in order to help depopulate the world they demand that motherhood be restricted.
 "To attain that result-though condemned by every law, natural and supernatural they now in- sist their sordid methods shall be- come legal; with the result that what the church has elevated to the dignity of 8 sacrament and what people the world over and through the ages believed 1t to be- namely, holy state shall now be made largely an opportunity for mechanical lust.
 "Thus a triple warfare is waged against the Lord of Heaven and those institutions on earth that we hold most sacred.
 Raising his hand, Archbishop Glennon pleaded:

Bey Admits Charges;
 On Way To This State
(Continued from Page 1)

Northampton. Mass, Seut. 26-- (UP)-His four week flight from justice ended in bloodless capture, John Bey today faced the dismal prospect of being the first person to talk to the electric chair in Connecticut.
 Trapped and disarmed at the point of sub-machine guns last night on the farm of Lucien La court in nearby Haydenville, Bey will be extradited without delay to face trial in the staying of Con- stable John B. DeCarli, shot to death in an Ellington, Conn, dairy the night of August 31.
 To Waive Rights
 Massachusetts state police, one of whose number Beyl wounded slightly during his desperate 26- day fight againstc capture, were ex- pected to waive present rights to the prisoner. Should Bey be con- yicted of murder in the. DeCarli shooting, he would be the first to face the death penalty in Connecti- cut since the moose gay way to the chair.
 Posing as Jack Avalon" Boy approached Lacourt with a request for a drink of milk, then gained the farmers confidence to such an extent that he was taken into the house for meal when he was cap tured. Five country youths, also going to the Lacourt farm for milk, saw and recognized Bey. Two of their number hastily summoned Troopers Robert Herr of Con- necticut and George Grady of Massac chusetts whom they had seen cruising in the region. Bey had no chance to get at either of the three guns he carried.
 Received Arm Treatment
 Whisked to Northampton state police barracks. the cornered wiil- o'-the- -wisp received treatment for an infected arm wound he had re. ceived in his gun battle with De- Carli. Then he was shackled and held to await extradition.
 Bey's capture ended a 26-day search that began immediately af- ter the slaying of the Connecticut constable.
 Nursing an arm wound suffered in his gun battle with DeCarli, Bey broke through cordon of Con- necticut police and vanished.
 During the ensuing week he was hunted in the Tsilington-R Rockville someys area where his trau led from day to day to Abandoned hideouts in shantles and hayiofts. Meanwhile househoIders there-

 the fourth day, the German main line had been reached and ad- vance slowed down. The first phase of the battle occupied eight days, from Sept. 26 to Oct. 3, during which battle was fought between the Mouse river and the Argonne forests. From Oct. to Oct. 31, American casualties reached their highest point.
 The Mouse -Argonne battle was the greatest ever fought by Ameri- caa troops. In this 47-day battle, 29 combat divisions did the bulk of the fighting, though the tre- mendous total of 100000 Ameri- can troops were engaged, at a cost of 120,000 casualties. The Ameri- cans succeeded in taking the Ger man-western front, and, had the war continued, would have doubt less have contributed to a great Teutonic debacle.

 Part of Bey's confession, more than 2000 words long and virtually a day-to-day diary of his adven- lures as fugitive, later was made public.
 q Shot DeCarli'
 "I shot De Carli," Bey was quoted in the statement he dictated to a police stenographer. "Sure l did. He showed fight, 50 just gave it to him. I'd do it again. What would you expect? He's the fellow who shot me in the arm. But that don't matter now. I'm going to the chair anyhow. Whats hole in the arm"
 Bey said he "knew Connecticut was too hot for me" 50 he "beat 1t up this way"
 "In all the time you fellows were looking for me I could have shot a lot of you down. It was easy to take potshots, but I didn't want to do it. Oh, it was hell out there in the woods, all right.
 Machine Guns Missed Him
 "Once when a couple of troopers uncovered my camp they got a peek at me and let go with their machine guns. The bullets whizzed by my nose and the guns were so close could smell the powder. That was no fun. The only fun that time was went right back to where I had been after these two guys had left, and they didn't come back"
 Bey recorded in detail the bur glaries he committed to obtain guns and replenish his food sup plies.
