 Some time ago MT. Mclean had D. 50e copies of the laws printed for dis tribution. It is his intention to ask the opinion of the attorney-general on the questions raised by his cor respondents.

Especial from United Press) New Haven, Nov. 3tTapping the : telephone to obtain evidence in di- vorce cases was first used in the cele- brated Trowbridge divorce case in this city 25 years ago. The story is recalled today in connection with the Louis NJ.

Trowbridge, was a wealthy member of the family of that name He married the daughter of Charles J. Anderson, millionaire. The issue of the marriage was a daughter and to all appearances MT. happy.
 Therefore, it created quite a sensa- ton when Colonel Trowbridge insti- tuted proceedings for a divorce. nam ing Jonathan Ingersoll clerk of the New Haven County Superior court as the "other man. Ingersoll was mar ried and had a son. He was about & years of age and Mrs. Trowbridge about 32 at the opening of the scan- dal.
 Attorney Morris F. Tyler, then pres ident of the local telephone company, was retained by Colonel Trowbridge. The trial developed that Tyler had tapped the telephone wires during conversations between Ingersoll and Mrs. Trowbridge. The resulting evil dence was sensational in the extreme. Ingersoll and Mrs. Trowbridge cap ped the climax by quitting this city. together, and going to California: It was even recalled, today, that Sher- if Robert O. Gates drove Ingersoll to the railroad station in a spirit of friendship Ingersoll is said to have expressed a desire, a year ago, to return to New Haven to die here.
