New Buggy Added to Wrecked One and Auto In Millionaire's Murder Trial.
Special from United Press.)

(Speclal rom Onlte0 PreSS.)
 New York, Nov. !3.-The courtroom of Justice O'Gorman today assumed the aspject of a county fair vehicle hall" A brand new buggy was added to the wrecked buggy and auto that are ex- hibits in the trial of Edward T.. Resenheimer for killing Grace Hough, by driving his auto into the buggy in which she was riding.
 By means of the new buggy, the de- fense will attempt to show that the fatal collision on the Pelham roadway was caused by George Veeder, driving for Miss Hough and her companion, Miss McCabe, turning the buggy into the path of the automobile. This is the defense's chief contention, and lawyers were hopeful of showing, by the condition of the wrecked buggy, that such damage could not have been sustained had Veeder been driving close to the curb, as he testified.
 The defense sought to impeach the testimony of John Deans, chauffeur, and one of the chief witnesses for the prosecution, by showing that his tes- timony yesterday differed from that given before the grand jury.

 DAUGHTER OF A
 LOCAL RESIDENT
Bohemian Girl Singers Father Was a Well Known Business Man Here Many Years

Bridgeport theatre-goers should feel a peculiar interest in the suc- cess of Miss Bertha Shalek, the raven haired song bird whose enactment of the role of the Queen of the Gypsies brought her storms of applause in the performance of the Bohemian Girl at Jackson's last evening.
 Miss Shalek is not Bridgeport girl, but for number of years before his marriage her father was promi- nent in the business life of the city. BridgepOrters whose memory extends back three decades readily remember that Fred J. Shalek was one of the leading wholesale and retail liquor dealers of the city at that time.
 He conducted cafe in State street opposite the post office, then located where the Bridgeport Public Market now stands, and for several years was one of the best known figures in the business life of the city. He left Bridgeport for New York, married a London girl shortly afterwards, and has made his home in New York al- most continuously since then.
 Miss Bertha Shalek, his daughter, has won flattering recognition of her ability as an operatic singer. Her father, one of the audience last even- ing, took occasion to renew number of old friendships. He remained with his daughter over night, a guest at the Stratfield, and left for New York this morning. He is now in charge of the sales department of a malt concern of New York city.
