to discredit the functioning of city affairs throughout the current year.
 Officials of the Merit System, members of the Citizens Good Gov ernment association, and many Wa terbury citizens who have become intolerant of the false premise of "crusading" with which the Repub- lican-American has attempted to cloak its promotional campaigns to- day regarded this new design for persecution as out of line with pol icy of constructive civic regard. That MT. Pape, himself, refused to allow such a one-sided campaign of publication of handful of tax debts number of months ago and now sanctions this attack program was taken as indicative of the depths to which the Republican American will go in its attempt to build up circulation.
 Looks Like Personal Campaign
 While hundreds of property own- CTS and others will attempt no de- fense for the publicized officials or an explanation of their failure, still the opinion prevails that the mo- tives for the attack on certain ex- ecutives or their families are open to questioning. They have the we'll founded suspicion that the cam- paign is decidedly something per Sonal."

.ROBBER GANG IN
 BOSTON CAUGHT

(Contlnued rom Page D police during an attempt to rob a department store payroll truck.
 Another supposed member of the gang, Harold Ananian, arrested when Sullivan was shot, hanged himself in Charles street jail 12 days later.
 The Il holdups to which Cahill and Lyons allegedly confessed were those of the RKO-Boston Theater, $650; Oriental Theater, $250O; Met ropolitan Theater, unsuccessful; Longwood Towers, $700; Hemenway Hotel, $500; Myles tSandiSh Hotel, $500; Milton Savings Bank, $500; Uphams Corner Cooperative Bank $500; Harvard Federal Savings and Loan Association of Dorchester, $500, and minor stickups at a gasoline sta- ton and a liquor store.
 G-Men Interested
 G-men joined in questioning the suspects because federally- funds were involved in the bank ho,dups.
 The arrests were made by Milton and Boston police.
 In the lineup, Cahill talked vol ubly and declared the gang rented guns for $25 from a man known only as Johnny" The loot was divided equally among participants in the various "jobs," he said. They spent it on "liquor, night clubs and wom- en-" Only $500 was recovered from hideoutS. police said,

was eating heartily until he heard newsboys shouting in the street out side. One, with 8 particularly strident voice, was screaming: Anna must burn!" The papers were an- nouncing that Federal Court Judge Nell c. Underwood had rejected her plea for a writ of habeas corpus, her last possibility of escape.
 The child's face went white and his lower lip trembled.
 Crime That Exacted Penalty
 Mrs. Hahn was convicted of poi soning 78 year old Jacob Wagner who had taken her into his home as a nurse. She was arrested in Colo rado Springs, Colo, in 1887 for lar ceny, having disposed of some of Wagner's property immediately after his death. The investigation imme- diately established that she had made a business of making herself attractive" to aged men in Cincin- nati and the state charged that in addition to Wagner she had poisoned George Obendorfer, 67, George Sell man, 67, and an old man named Palmer, for their money.
 It was finally decided that Mrs. Hahn will be buried in Mt. Calvary cemetery, Columbus, today. Brief funeral services will be held at a funeral home, with Father Sullivan officiating.
 Picture on Wall
 Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 8.-(UP)- Warden James c. Woodward of Ohio penitentiary said today that the photograph of Anna Marie Hahn, who died last night in the electric chair, would be placed on the wall of the death chamber with in a day or two.
 On the walls of the death cham Der are pictures of 213 men who have died in it's chair, and of 28 men who were hanged in the peni- tentiary.
 Prior to 1884, condemned prison CTS were hanged in the counties in which they were convicted. From 1884 to 1896 they were hanged in the state prison. Since 1896 they have been lectrocuted.

 Thousands of policemen guarded Ribbentrop as he and his aides boarded two special cars at the h. valides station near the foreign office. The cars were taken by roundabout route to the suburbs, to be attached to the north express for Berlin.
 Foreign Minister Bonnet bade Ribbentrop 8 cordial farewell at the station.
 Specific Statement
 The situation which developed as the result of the anti-French agita- ton, following the signing of a French German anti-war declara- tion, was that France sought spe- cific statement from Germany on the Italian situation.
 Bonnet asked bluntly for a decla- ration whether Germany would or would not fight alongside Italy if a conflict ever was precipitated be- cause of a French refusal to sur- render Tunis, Corsica, Nice or Savoy.
 Ribbentrop was naturally unable to answer such a momentouS .ques-

JAPAN, RUSSIA
 ARE IN DISPUTE

Moscow, Dec. -8-(UP)--A serious dispute has developed between Rus sia and Japan over fisheries rights, the foreign office disclosed today.
 Leases to Japan for fisheries off the Russian Pacific Coast expire December 31. Despite angry Jap- anese demands, Russia has refused to renew them, 1t was disclosed. un- til Japan makes good a defaulted payment by the Manchukuan gov- ernment for Russia's share of the Chinese eastern railroad in Man. chukuo. However, Russia has ag- reed to extend the leases pending negotiation, but in doing so has told Japan that 40 of 380 districts in which Japanese were permitted to fish will be closed for strategic and other reasons.
 The fishing rights are of trem- endous importance to Japan. It was indicated, however, that Russia would decline to make new, long term leases so long as relations re- mained in their present troubled state.

 The straps were drawn tighter ane she writhed.
 "Ow! Please don't My boy Think of my boy. Can't yor help me?"
 She appeared very feminine writh- ing there in the chair, her alto voice tragic and feminine in it. appeal. She and the three matron. were the only women in the room The rest were men and her appea to them was elemental. Her wilc eyes jumped from face to face.
 Wont anyone help me?" she cried.
 Silence, Then Shrieks
 An instant of utter silence.
 Anybody anybody any body" Her voice roce with eacf syllable until it was shrieking.
 "Isn't there anyone who can helr me?"
 At that point her eyes fell or Warden Woodward.
 Warden! Don't let them do this to me-" '..
 "I'm sorry, Mrs. Hahn. There i: nothing I can do."
 Calls Priest to Her Side
 Next she saw Father Sullivan.
 "Oh, father, come close to me-" "Yes," said the priest, stepping forward.
 "Oh, father. father" she begged then, suddenly, practical: Don't come too close, father. You'll be killed"
 He was not touching her and there was no danger of the current that was to pass through her body, kill ing him. He said at once:
 "Our Father who art in Heaven. In a wailing voice, she repeated "Our Father who art in Heaven 'Hallowed be Thy name," said the priest.
 As she repeated, the death mask was tied over her face.
 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done"
 She repeated, her voice notice ably calmer.
 Prayer Interrupted
 The warden had his finger on ar electric push button. His hand tight ened as he pushed it. It lighted g light in another room and caused three gurads to close three electric switches. One of the switches sent an electrical current pouring through her body, sealing her lips at the word Gus" in deliver us from evil"
 A minute later, she was pro- nounced dead and the witnesses filed out, many of them the worse fol what they had seen and heard.
 Mrs. Hahn's attorneys, who fought for over year to save her from execution, planned to do something for her 12 year old son, Oscar.
 Son Suffers Ordeal
 Oscar saw his mother for the las! time late yesterday afternoon. Mrs Hahn was nearly prostrate and young Oscar was ashen-faced, red eyed when he came out, carrying his mothers fur coat. She told him she wouldn't need it anymore and he could have it.
 Attorney H. 0. Bolsinger took him to . hotel and stayed with him until it was over, talking to him about model airplanes, his hobby, his early years. At 6:S0 p. m. he took him to the hotel dining room and Oscar

 converges there from several di- recticns. There is traffic stand ard in the middle of West Main Street approximately opposite the midpoint of the intersection of Central avenue, and a croSswalk marked from the northeasterly corner of Central avenue to the southerly side of West Main street. This does not provide sufficient safety for pedestrians, in view of the width. traffic and use, and the number and nature of inter- sections there at. A raised island or other safety provision for pe- destrians would reduce the haz- ard.
 Deceased was in the roadway and about ten or fifteen feet west of the croSSwalk as Dimeo ap- preached. There was some con- flict in the testimony concerning the direction in which deceased was proceeding and according to the operator of car following about fifteen feet behind Dimeo the deceased was standing still and apparently waiting for Dimeo to pass and stepped ahead in a southerly direction and in front of the Dimeo car.
 Deceased was wearing dark clothing. The roadway was dark surfaced and wet. Dimeo did not see deceased until he was almost upon him. He then applied his brakes, which were in good con- dition, but deceased was struck by the front bumper, thrown upon the hood of the Dimeo car and thence to the pavement. The left front headlight was broken and the radiator grill and hood of the car bent by the impact. Dimeo's car travelled only about two car lengths after striking him.
 Lonergan was at once removed unconscious to Waterbury Hos pital and died at said hospital without regaining consciousness on the 18th of November, at 10:35 D. m.
 I find that the death of said Mortimer Lonergan was due to lacerated brain, subaraclinoid hemorrhage, compound fracture of the right tibia and fibula, com- minuted fracture of the left tibia and fibula, fracture of right ulua and radius, petechial hemorrhage of the brain and abrasions of the scalp and face, sustained in the manner hereinbefore described, but that said death was not due to the criminal negligence of the operator of the car, the said Louis Dimeo.

 She described herself as definite ly" a blues singer, performing under the name of Edith Jolson, and broadcasting from a New Haven station three times weekly.
 I'm afraid you've got me-" she replied several times to MT. Alcorn and Attorney Murray, when they asked her technical questions. Her opinion was that to serve would be educational and interesting.
 Dressed in blue sweater and coat with skirt to match, and wear ing very becoming hat, beset with rakish feather, she took the hon. ors thus far as the prettiest and most shapely of prospective jurors.
 It was with evidenced sorrow that MT. Alcorn excused her for the state. He looked sheepishly at Att torney Murray when it came time to make the selection, and Attorney Murray breathed a sigh of relief as he said to MT. Alcorn, "It's your honor"
 Juror number five, Milton Car rington of Beacon Falls was the next one questioned.
 John Carrigan of Middlebury, a dairyman for the Whittemore dair- ies, was excused by the court when he said that his friendship with the Fleming family would influence his verdict if he were a juror.
 Attorney Benjamin Slade would have accepted George J. Lacour- ciere, a car salesman of Meriden, after brief questioning. But Pros Alcorn refused to question the ven- fireman and entered another chal- lenge.
 Only a few questions were pro- pounded to Lee Usher of West Ha- ven, and these were by the state. The defense had no questions to ask. The state excused him, the last yepireman questioned yesterday.
 Court was adjourned after Car rington, juror number 5, had been sworn in by Clerk Freeman and in- -structed by the judge. <.

 Eleven women were included in the remaining 50 members of the panel as the polling of the pros pective jurors got underway again today. The g men and II women were all that were left of the original panel of 172 persons which reported on the first day of the trial, . week ago Tuesday.
 In contrast to other veniremen who had been questioned at length, only to be excused by one side or the other, the fifth mem- Der of the jury, Milton Caring ton, of Beacon Falls, was ques- tioned only briefly. He was then immediately accepted by both sides.
 Thus far in the trial, Special Prosecutor Alcorn has been the only member of counsel for the state to speak in the courtroom. His assistants, Attorneys Harold Mitchell and Hugh M. Alcorn, IT,, have not taken part in any of the questioning. However, they are consulted frequently during the day by MT. AlcOrn.
 MT. Darlington obligingly posed for photographers when leaving the courtroom at the end of yes- terday's session. He had first been sworn in as a member Of the jury and had been instruct ed by Judge Inglis not to read news articles, listen to radio broadcasts or discuss the case.
