 The claim charged the Connec- ticut company had mingled the Connecticut Railway and Lighting company properties with it's own property and property leased from others and has operated all such property as single system"
 Waterbury Line
 The principal lease involved in the claim was line between Bridge port and Waterbury, and certain power holdings.
 Originally the lease was made out to the Consolidated railroad in 1906. The Consolidated merged with the New Haven system and in 1910 the New Haven sublet the lease to the Connecticut company.
 The railway asked federal court to be considered as a preferred claimant "by reason of the rejec- ton of unexpired leases and execu- tory contracts"

Grand JuryDebates
 Wendell Confession
Continued from Page D

In 1921 Wendell was disbarred be- caues he had been convicted of fraud. In 1924 he wanted to be re- instated and Parker signed his pe- tition and used his influence.
 In January, Gov. Hoffman an- nounced that he doubted seriously that Attorney General Wilentz, his political enemy, and Col. Schwarz- kopf, due to be replaced as head of the state police, had solved the Lindbergh mystery by conyicting Hauptmann.
 He gave the condemned man reprieve and ordered the state po- lice to reopen the case and find Hauptmann's accomplices. He also authorized his friend, Detective Par ker, to conduct an independent in quiry.
 Family Used to It
 On February Il Wendell did not return to his Trenton home, but his family, accustomed to having him away for long periods, thought noth- ing of 1t. On February g ru- mors began circulating in Trenton and New York that man was in custody who had confessed the Lindbergh Kidnapping. The rumors became more insistent and more de- tailed in the next few days and finally reached the ear of Wilentz. He looked into them and discovered that members of the court of par donS, which was to consider Haupt- mann's final appeal for clemency, had received copies by mail from unknown persons of what purported to be the confession of Wendell to the Kidnapping. He looked further end found that Wendell was the prisoner of Parker in Burlington county, of which Parker is the county detective.
 Returned as Prisoner
 He told Schwarzkopf, who prompt ly commanded Parker to deliver his prisoner forthwith. Saturday night, Parker delivered Wendell to Detec- tive Kifkham on the county line. Kirkham took him immediately be- fore a justice of the peace and charged him with murder, instead of committing him to the county jail as Marshall had ordered. Taken then to the jail, Wendell sent for Wilentz and repudiated his confess sion immediately.
 Wendell said he stole the Lind bergh baby to revenge himself on society. He kept the child in the at tic of his home for one month, with out his wife and children ever be- ing aware of it. The child finally fell out of its bed and was killed. He then buried the body, he said. He had written the original ransom note, but none of the others, and did not collect the ransom, his confess sion said.
 This was the confession that the grand jury considered until 1:05 o. clock this morning.

 As l approached the tiny village, was struck with the silence. Lind bergh's newly leased home is long barn, the rambling group of put together buildings in which tradi- tion has 1t that William Caxton, England's first printer, was born more than 800 years ago.
 Taken to Station
 A police officer approached and asked to see my papers and driving license. Having seen them, he ask ed me to come with him to Seven oaks police station.
 There was questioned detailedly. Then was told that if I returned to the neighborhood of the home I would be arrested under some road regulation such as blocking a high way by doing so, and hence com mitting a breach of the peace.
 Before I went to the station, I noticed that lights in the servants quarters went out at 9:30 p. m, while those in the living quarters were ablaze. The superintendent who questioned me at the station told me that all the lights were put out just before midnight, which was an hour before Hauptmann was to die.

AUSTRIA HAS
 BROKEN TREATY
(Continued from Page 1)
German Nazisrn Menace

German NaZ1Sm Men&CG
 Austria's army had not approach ed even It's treaty strength in past years. until the menace of German Nazism combined with socialist activity at home brought reinforce ment.
 Today the army strength was ap- proximately 29.050. Of these, how ever, only 21,050 were regulars-1,- 379 officers, 1873 non-commissioned officers and 18,300 enlisted men - and 5000 were temporary mens
 In explaining to the diet his ir- tentions, Schuschnigg said that the actual number of men who would be called for service under the new law was to be decided.
 We will also decide" he said, ito what extent they will undergo service with or without arms, as a protection against foreign enemy"
 By this, Schuschnigg could call men for labor corps service, to work on federal projects and to undergo semi-military training in order to act as an army reserve and also to relieve the drain on the treasury of maintaining an army for military purposes alone.
 It was believed that Austria, Hungary and Italy agreed on today's action on the recent Rome confer ence.
 Hungary was expected to follow suit and then Bulgaria, thus con- signing the last of the peace treaties to the scrap heap.
 How Europe Feels
 London, April 1--(UP) Austria reintroduction of compulsory army service was received calmly today. Criticism of the violation of another treaty was overshadowed by belief that Austria's bigger army would strengthen the force needed to de- fend Austrian independence against possible German absorption at tempts.
 Rome, April 1-(UP)-Italy well comed Austria's reintroduction of conscript army service today. It was felt that Austria must be freed from it's treaty shackles to remain inde- pendent. An increase in the Aus trian army would permit Italy to withdraw some soldiers from the Brenner pass area. It was believed that Premier Benito Mussolini and Chancellor Kurt Won Schuschnigg discussed today's action when Schuschnigg was here.
 Geneva, April l - (UP) - Little Entente nations were expected to do no more than protest Austria's re- introduction of compulsory army service, but League of Nations cir cles expressed belief today that if Hungary followed suit there might be trouble. .
 Hungary, 1t was said, might be regarded by the nations concerned as 8 real threat to their security. Tn Austria's case, formal protest was expected, with a request for assur- ances that the new army would not be used to facilitate restoration of the Hapsburg dynasty.

CIMBEL BREACH
 OF PROMISE SUIT

New York, April 1-(UP)-Lillian Mendal,s $2,O00,00 breach of prom ise suit against Frederic Asam Gim- bel, heir to some of the Gimbel de- partment store fortune, was given to a supreme court jury shortly be- fore noon today. Previously Jus tice Bernard L. Sheintag had de- livered a charge in which he award cd an important point of conten- ton fin favor of Gimbel's one-time mistress.
 He found that Miss Mendal's Me- vada annulment of her marriage to the Polish count Stanislaus Popie- lawski was valid. The defense had contended this action was invalid and that she was still married to the count. a point which 0imbel's counfei stressed as a breach of any contract to marriage that might have existed between Miss Mendal and the defendant

Between Hone. Fear

Kamenz, Germany, April 1-(UPD Frau Paulina Hauptmann alter mated today between hope that her son might live and fear that despite the delay in his execution, he would die this week as the kidnaper and murderer of the Lindbergh baby.
 She was reused from bed in the early hours of this morning at the home of Fritz Ebert, her lawyer, and his wife, where she had gone be- cause she could not bear to remain alone in her own little home to await what she thought would be news that Bruno Richard Hauptmann was dead.
 My God! l had 50 hoped for de- lay she said, standing trembling in a brown dresisng gown, her white hair falling over her shoulders. But 1t is only for two days"
 She was so overcome that she could do little more than humble as she continued, tears yelling from her blue eyes:
 T could not sleep tonight. But this news gives me new hope. I will do all I can to free him. But how can a poor woman like me help my dear Richard, 50 many miles away?"

 Though Hauptmann had been shaved and had sent last letter to the governor, Kimberling put off the execution for 48 hours or more.
 In view of the reported postpone ment of further grand jury action, there was increasing belief that Kimberling might set Friday night as the new execution time for Hauptmann, barring the possibility of further unforeseen developments or the granting of judicial stay.
 Choice of Friday
 Choice of Friday night would give additional time for clarification of the confusing situation in which Jersey justice" has become en- tangled and would maxe it easier for prison officials to perfect all their arrangements anew.
 Marshall, who is democrat and who joins with state police in dis missing the Wendell confessions as valueless, said Freeman told him the grand jury would consider routine" matters in its afternoon session to- day and would go back to the Ven dell matter tomorrow morning.

 Loney said Hoffman's latest at tempt to save Hauptmann from elec- trocut!on would be to try to learn the identity of the man"
