PHYSICIAN AND
 WIDOWER HELD FOR WOMAN'S DEATH

As a result of the outcome of the inquest held by Coroner Eli L. Mix of New Haven county into the death on Nov. of Mrs. Alice M Wrisley of Derby, pr. F. B. Downs, medical ex- aminer of this city, and Clayton l.. Wrisley, the widower, were arrested today on warrants alleging man slaughter
 Detective Sergeant Peter Hall serv- ed both warrants. He located .Wris- ley at his employment as receiving clerk in the factory of the Whitlock Press Co, in Derby. Dr. Downs was at his office in this city Wrisley ar rived here in custody of the detective before noon. DR Downs was in po- lice headquarters Yearly in the after noon. The bail was fixed at $1, 300 in each case.
 Wrisley was unable to furnish \bail. Dr. Downs was not held, arrangements having been made for his release promptly on his arrival at police head quarters in bail of s1,500, David F.. Read furnishing the requisite surety.
 " Wrisley married as his second wife Alice M. French of Milford, in March, 1910 He has son 6 years old by a former marriage. Mrs Wrisley and he came to Bridgeport, it is alleged, on Nov. l, and visited the office of Dr. Downs. It is alleged that an op- s Ci e otio1 Ol d CitiifIHdi @ldtdTe WAS then performed. gsess s ,, t.s a
 The finding of Coroner Mix, which went into considerable detail, and which was forwarded to Prosecuting Attorney A. L. Delaney pointed out that following the operation the fam fly physician pr. Royal W. Pinney of Derby was called in, and that he in turn called in Dr. Frank N. Loomis medical examiner of Derby, to whom she made an ante mortem' statement five minutes before her death.
 The finding of Coroner. Mix was to the effect that death vas due to acute septic peritonitis and that pr. Downs was criminally responsible.
 Wrisley was formerly a trolley in- spector for the Connecticut Co. in Derby. His wife was a bookkeeper for the company in Derby. Their marriage fallowed a romantic court ship. Mrs. Wrisley was well known in Derby where her death was the occasion of widespread grief
 Dr. Downs has retained Homer S. Cummings of Stamford, one of the leading members of the Connecticut bar and Wrisley who is still locked up. has made an effort to secure Former State Senator William Ken nedy of Naugatuck. It is understood that they intend to fight the case ill the city court claiming that the con dition of the woman was such that the operation was not criminal Neither of the accused would make statements today preferring to await the trial before making any public declaration.

 Senator McNeil, among other things, said:
 "It has been said that at caucus of the Republican members of this Senate held, ,last Tuesday,it was agreed to oppose Governor Baldwin's ap- pointment of John l.. Sake to be fac- tory inspector. I hope there are enough fair minded, thinking members of the majority to confirm the nom of letters from prominent citizens in this state commenting the Governor for this high class nomination; and other letters attesting MT. Saxe's fit hess for the place.
 At this point, Senator McNeil turn ed on Highway Commissioner Mac donald. "You have the right to re- ject him but it is the right of might. A few weeks ago when this body turned down Governor Baldwin's ex- cellent nominations for highway com missioner, a statement was made that there had been no criticism of Com missioner Macdonald.
 'I cannot understand a statement to such an effect. All know that MT. Macdonald has been severely criti- cised for his work on the roads of this state. Not by politicians alone Only last week the board of trade of the city of Greenwich, a bipartisan (uVlc OrSdIIZdtlOu, COIQefnneO MT Macdonald in unmistakable terms. They petitioned Governor Baldwin to remove him from office on the ground of incompetency.
 eff you will glance over the list of names you will find there have been more Republicans appointed to office since Governor Baldwin came into of- fee than Democrats. From a par tisan standpoint there should be no criticism of his appointments.
