The annuities would bhecome effec- tive in 1027 and their number and amount would depend wholly on the degree of Germany's economic re- covery.

Neither does it r@er to the conditions under which Germany Is prepared to carry out the payment of the annuities.

The cone fesslon was made to Sergeant Deteo= tive Willlam P. McCue gf the New Pritain police department and Pde ward A. Hickey, a county detective.

In the con- fession, Carlson told of his frequent quarrels with his wife and her acou- sations of his infidelity, the name of a woman whose husband is a motor man being mentioned.
