 He opposed any compromise with the government on religious activ- ities, which he held belong as 8 right, to the people.

 He made his headquarters in Q cave, where the rebel leaders met to discuss their campaign plans. The rebellion was suppressed, and the archbishop went into exile in the United States, first at San Antonio, Tex, then at Los Angeles. He re- turned secretly to Jalisco state, of which Guadalajara is the capital. then fled from village to village as government agents sought him. He returned to the United States again, and came back to Mexico last sum- mer when the government permitted him to take up residence here. He was broken in health.
 At II, the archbishop had distin- guished himself in Latin. He was sent to the Colegio Pic Latino in Rome, where the brightest of Latin American church scholars 60. and remained there from 1876 to 1888. He was made e bishop in 1902 and archbishop in 1912.

STATE SUPREME
 COURT RULINGS
Case Against Commissions CT MacD Donald Upheld;
 N. Haven County Case <

Hartford, Conn, Feb. 1o.--(UP)- Failure of the state highway com- missioner to erect a guard railing on the highway between Derby and Stevenson Dam contributed to an accident as result of which George Albright was awarded judgment in superior court for Fairfield county against Commissioner John A. Mac- Donald, according to Q supreme court finding today.
 The court determined there was no error in the case, finding that al- though the slippery road and blind ing lights of another car also were factors, Albright had exercised con- trol of his car comparative with the highway structure. The car Skidded of the crown of the road, went over an embankment and struck Q tree.
 Other Decisions
 No error was found in Q judgment of superior court for Litchfield county in granting an appeal of Margaret Foley, giving her judg- ment of $5266,36 against probate commissioners who had disallowed her claim for services against the estate of Peter Coggins.
 Error in part and the cause re- manded with direction was the finding in the case of David Sachs against Benjamin L. Toquet, and others, in which the Fairfield couTi- ty superior court rendered judgment declaring the respective rights of the parties. The action was for an injunction restraining the defend- ants from obstructing or interfering with Q claimed easement and for declaratory judgment, arising out of a right-of-way between adjoining properties.

 It was charged the officers and directors of the Newark company, which had assets of about 94e,000 and debts of more than 900, or. ganized another corporation known as the Feinn Distributing company "rnisappropriated and wrongfully and illegally took over merchandise, equipment, accounts receivable and cash belonging to the Newark company for the purpose of cheating and defrauding the creditors of the latter company"

UTICA WORKMEN
 STOP CASLEAKS

Utica, N. r., Feb. 1e-(UP)-Ex- hausted worlnen succeeded today in repairing leaks in Utica gas mains, eliminating practically all danger of further fires or explosions which have terrorized the entire downtown businesses section since Tuesday.
 Officials said the only remaining danger was the possibility of gas pockets exploding.
 As soon as workmen removed the office buildings and turned their broken mains, testers began visiting heating systems back on.
 Business in the section had been paralyzed since a series of explosions and fires followed the accidental piercing of a gas main by workmen seeking to locate leaking water main. The danger area was roped of and national guardsmen were called out to assist firemen and po- licemen.
 The guards began permitting per- sons to enter the area this afternoon and officials said business would be restored to normal tomorrow.

Hauptn1ann CiDes His Ideas On Kidnapping
tcontinued from Page l)

he has put up was not convincing. Hauptmann. however, held to his story in every detail.
 Leibowitz then asked Hauptmann what his own theory was about how the crime was committed. Haupt- mann said he hadn't thought about 1t. The attorney told him 1t was ridiculous for him to say that he had been convicted of the crime, had been in the death house for a year and hadn't tried to figure 1t out.
 Three Ideas of Kidnapping
 Hauptmann-still insisting that he was not involved-said he had three ideas about how the kidnaper oper- ated.
 First, he said, if he had done it, he would have "got next to the women in the house 'and obtained accomplices among the servants.
 Second, Hauptmann thought the baby must have been carried out the front door of the Lindbergh home at Hopewell.
 "Then what was the ladder for?" Leibowitz asked, referring to the crude ladder found leaning up to the nursery window after the kid- naping.
 For emergency" Hauptmann was said to have answered.
 Leibowitz asked what his theory was as to how the baby was killed and Hauptmann reportedly an- swered "by accident"
 The attorney asked how he thought an accident could have oc- cured if the ladder wasn't used. Hauptmann said he didn't know.
 What would you have done if an accident happened?" Leibowitz asked.
 Would "Run Like Hell"
 Hauptmann was said to have re- piled that he would have dropped the baby and run like hell"
 "Well. If you had been the kid- naper," Leibowitz pressed, land you had nerve enough to kidnap the baby, wouldn't you have nerve enough to take the baby and later collect the ransom?"
 Hauptmann said that might be true.
 Leibowitz also questioned Haupt- mann about the story which he has insisted is the true explanation as to how he came into possession of the Lindbergh ransom money-that it was given for safekeeping by Isadore Fisch, the German who re- turned to that country and died be- fore Hauptmann was arrested.
 Didn't Know Again
 Leibowitz asked if criminal would not be more likely to keep "hot" money in a safe deposit box rather than in a shoe box. Haupt- mann said he didn't know what he would have done if he had been the criminal.
 The account of Leibowitz talk with Hauptmann was revealed as the New York attorney was enroute here for another conference with the condemned man.
 Embarrassed Silence.
 Fisher met him at the station here. Leibowitz strode over to him, shook hands, and then there were several moments of embassassing silence during which the two attor- neys-Fisher, the stolid, country lawyer and Leibowitz. the fiashy New Yorker-seemed to be sizing each other up. It was there first meeting except at a social event some time ago.
 Finally they linked arm and walked to Fishers automobile to drive to the prison. talking rapidly enroute. They arrived at the prison at 2:05 p. m.
 No More Reprieves.
 Fisher was asked If he expected Gov. Harold c. Hoffman to grant any further reprieve to delay Hauptmann's execution which now is expected to be carried out on Tuesday night. March Sl.
