 IN SUPERIOR COURT SculIy Divorce Granted-Suit of Mc- Jennett vs. Lucy on Trial

A married life in which the llurling of pitchers, plates and other household articles were enlivening features, was revealed m the superior court at New London Thursday, when Dennis W. Scully. of New London appeared ask ing divorce from Lydia w. Scully. also of New London, on the grounds of abuse and cruelty.
