 Census Ends Dec. 1.
 Officials in charge of the cen- Bus estimate that it will be com pIeted by December 1. It is ex- Dected that approximately 105,000 persons will be tabulated. Of this number 1t is impossible to estimate how many will be eligible for the pensions. Each case will be sub 5ect to investigation and there may be many rejetsions. It is likely that pensions will be given to the 65 inmates of orookside home, charges of the public welfare de- partment, who are citizens and who in most cases have no near relatives. About 20 other per- sons living at the home are non- citizens and consequently are not eligible.
 Under the terms of the Connec- lieut. law any person is eligible for the pension who is 65 years of age or over. has not sufficient means fo support himself on reasonable standard of health and decency and has no person legally liable and able to support him.
 Required Citizenship
 It is further required that any such aged person be citizen of the United States and a resident of Connecticut who has resided therein five years during the nine years immediately preceding the date of his application fof an award, has resided therein con- finuousiy for one year immediate ly preceding such date and is not receiving institutional care at public or charitable expense.
 Any such person must not have made an assignment or transfer or other disposition of property for the purpose of qualifying for an award nor by serving sentence in a penal institution nor be on pro- bation from any court. Any such person must have paid the old age assistance tax to the full extent of his obligation.

waters of Lake Singletary.
 In alIegedly murdering the 22- year-old mother of his two chil- dren, the prosecution contended, he employed the melodramatic method described in Theodore Dreisers novel, An American Tragedy"
 The supposed "motive," Esther Hall Magill. 18-year1old co-worker with the giant, dark-haired Sher- man in a Whitinsville machine shop, testified against him as the star state witness.
 In his reputed confession. sher- man told of taking his wife on Q canoe ride, overturning the frail craft, and swimming to shore, leaving her to drown.
 After his arrest the defendant, shaken by sobs, allegedly recount ed: T was singing to my wife in the canoe. My only religion is song. l put my whole heart and soul into 1t. I was singing a hymn, When consider the work of thy hand When I stopped singing, the thought to murder her came to my mind. must have been crazy"
 Hill-encircled Lake singletary, where the drowning occurred, is one of the largest and most pic- turesque bodies of water in Massa- chusetts. It was there that Sher- man courted Alice Dudley. the girl he was to marry and kill, accord ing to the state.
 Based on the alleged confession, the prosecution reconstructed the case, as follows:
 The night of the drowning, sher- man returned from choir practice and proposed Q canoe ride "to cool off," They put their children. Janet May, 2 years 8 months. and Dudley, 10 months, to bed.
 Sherman padded the canoe he had hired earlier. Fog shrouded the lake. Two hundred yards from shore, he struck his paddle under the boat, capsizing 1t.
 Mrs. Sherman struggled In the water, shouting: Newell! I'm here, Newell!
 She clung to his shirt but he pushed her away and swam ashore.
 sherman ran to William L.. Wheeler, caretaker of a girls camp on the lake, and shouted. "my wife and I fell out of the canoe and she is out there in the water"
 The body was recovered at Q depth of about 40 feet. Later a diver retrieved a shoe from the silty bottom of the lake. State de- tectives said 1t was of an extra large size and presumably sher- mans.

t..in should take "certain steps" in readiness to carry out, in behalf of the League of Nations, penalties az. inst Italy. The talks, 1t was in- dicated, dealt with Frances atti- tude in case Italy condemned the British action as an act of aggres- sion in violation of the league CO., vcnant and invoked French aid against Britain. ,.
 Those at the luncheon with the prince, Laval and the ambassador were Minister of Marine Francois Pietri and, Georges Mande, mif- ister of posts. It was recalled that Pietri yesterday cancelled his plan to go to Brest to launch the new battleship Bunkerque.
 Today's conferences came after, the disclosure yesterday that Bri- tain bad asked France to define it's attitude in event any nation at- tackled Britain. The cabinet ig to decide this week on its reply, and the reply is expected to indicate beyond doubt which way France will side if there Is an open break between Britain and Italy.
 Tho belief here is that, after Britain's promise that 1t would support the league covenant in all di. outes, France is certain to side with 1t in the present crisis.
 It was not admitted that the Italian Ethiopian crisis was dis cussed at the Embassy luncheon. but 1t was assumed that the con- versation must have revolved round 1t.

(Continued from Page 1.) represent "business interests" The visitor asserted that he could guarantee adequate financial backing for the presidential race.
 Long refused to talk to the in- termediary. Tie lack of apparent interest seemed to excite greater activity among those who wanted Long's cooperation.
 Finally Long named a third per son to meet and negotiate with those who were rendering financial assistance. Long thus kept in touch with the offers but could not be connected directly with them.
 It cannot be said definitely even now, for instance, that Long would have accepted the offers. He kept his own counsel, although 1t was believed among the few that knew of the negotiations that he intended at some later date to cap- italjze on them.
 The main interest of those who said they were willing to finance Q third-party movement was 10 encompass MT. Roosevelt's defeat. There was some curiosity as to whether they would prefer Long in the White House if such an un- expected turnover should result from their backing. It was said they would be willing to accept that unlikely possibility.
 Machine to live New York, Oct. 1--lU.P.)--Huey Long's political machine will live on, the Rev. Gerald L. K. Smith, generalissimo of the Share, Our Wealth" organization, predicted here to-day.
 The American public has . big surprise coming in the political union of two brothers of the dead senator. Smith said. Earl Long, the younger of the brothers, is "the shrewdest living politician" Smith asserted as he paced the floor of his hotel room nervously striking and blowing out matches. Earl Long is seeking the lieutenant-governorship of Louisiana on the Share Our Wealth ticket.
 Dr. Long Chairman
 pr. George Long of Tulsa, okla, was named. by Smith as chairman of the executive committee on orr ganization of the clubs in that state.
 In those brothers rests much of the political empire built by Sem ator Long, Smith said.

 their names just borrow a copy of the last Detroit census) are unirn- pressed by this last-minute charge of the enemy. To them, ball club that can win without resorting to such spectacular measures Is supe- rior to one which does. They figure the Cubs as team which the law of averages is bound to catch up with. And they think the series will furnish the time, the place, and the opposition.
 The gamblers like Detroit. The Tigers today are 2 to to take the series, and the odds are likely to Iengthen. It is not hard to under stand why the Detroits are the bet ting favoritcs. Gamblers like con- crete evidence of superiority. and this evidence is on the side of American Leaguers. The Tigers are q better defensive club than the Cubs. They have made more extra base hits, scored more runs, and have been harder to blank. Fur thermore, they are toughened to World Series competition, having wrestled through seven bitter games with the Gas House gang of St. Louis last October. Too, they're rested, and will have the advan- tage of playing the first two games at home before @ highly partisan gathering.
 There are things to be said for the Chicago's, however. They are moving along right now with mo- mentum which may make them impossible to stop. Everything is going their way, and the tide may not turn until the Tigers have been vanquished. Like the Cards of last year, they'll go into the series at top speed, all sails set, and the Tigers, like the Tigers of '34, may find the National League represen- tatiyes too hot to handle.
 This Is not to say that the Cubs will carry nothing but luck into the series. That Is far from the truth. The men of Grimm are a smart, hustling, resourcesful team, which is fortified with fine pitching And fine pitching is vital factor No in sprint series such as this. The Cub team that piled into here last night is a fighting team. II won't beat itself. It'll have to be beaten. It's a team of youngsters each of whom is ready to go the limit. The Cubs proved they could stand up under pressure in St. Louis last week when they kept fighting the Gas-House gang until the Cas- Housers ran out of gas.

 Smith talked in big figures of his Share our Wealth" organization plans.
 ".We already have 10000. .000 members in every state of the union." he said. "and intensive cam paign plans for organization of more units is underway. He intends to see his New England chieftains while here and probably will re- turn by way of Philadelphia where Huey Long was said to have at- tracted the largest crowd Ia that |city's political history.

 no one but his two attorneys-was there to cast a sympathetic glance his way as slight, grey-haired Henry R. Hoyle, the uptown select man serving as foreman, an- nounced that he and his fellow jurors had reached an agreement, and that 1t was the worst.
 The defendant showed no sign of breaking, either while Court Clerk Philip S. Smith was polling the jury or while Judge Hammond, before adjourning court, was com plimenting the talesmen for "a duty which has been conscientious ly and well performed"
 T don't feel 50 badly" said sherman, back in his prisoners pen just before being led away to his cell. T still feel confident my attorneys will secure me an- other trial"
 The choirsinger's fate was giv- en into the jury's hands at ABA D. m. yesterday, and 1t was at 1852 this morning, after 9 hours ac- tual deliberation, that the de- cisiqn was announced. aE Jddge Hammond, resting in his chambers at the courthouse, seemed determined to keep the jurors at work until they should agree on a verdict. Instead of permitting them to go to their ho- tel for supper, he had box suppers carried to the window-less jury room. At 11:45 p. m. the jurors were given piping hot coffee. Otherwise, they remained in uh- broken debate.
 Sherman, meantime, had re- maincd in the courtroom, remark ably complacent in the face of what was to come. He partook of a hearty supper of steak, po- tatoes, pie, ice cream and coffee. For his guards he sang. When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" Later, dead tired, he stretched his six foot frame on courthouse bench and enjoyed several hours sound sleep.
 The curious camped in the courtroom, littering the floor with wrappings from the lunches they brought. One knot of walters passed the time in a bridge game. Women predominated among the crowd.
 Absent were Constable and Mrs Lewis H. Sherman, his parents, who were in seclusion at their Sutton home. Neither were MT. and Mrs. William H. Dudley, par ents of the slain Alice Dudley Sherman, there. Esther Magill, the "other girl" was at her Whit insville home.
 Before retiring at hotel, Fore man Hoyle described the ordeal through which the jury passed to reach it's verdict. "It was terrible. It was hell on wheels" he said. "The world will never know what we went through. We deliberated long and studied the case hard and we all agree that the verdict was a | just and true one. There weren't many ballots east"
 It was understood that on the first ballot the jurors stood 10 for first degree murder and two for second degree. At no time, apparently, did any juror doubt that the choir master drowned his wife, as the government main tained and as the defendant him. self admitted in the 4O0-word Typewriter, signed confession that was accepted in evidence.
