 That Venture Case. Like TennySOnS s 'DTOOk lic lebitl- fly troubles of MT. and Mrs. Felix Ven- turo go on forever. Mrs. Venture, who disappeared at the time James Perrette, the we'll known Kensington cobbler, was arrested on the charge of theft came back last Thursday and when interviewed she said "Mr. Perrette did not steal the articles. left them in his shop and l have re- turned to appear as a witness for him in the court in Hartford. My husband and I do not get along well together but he wishes me to return , to him. I do not think I will for we are fighting all the time."
 Evidently Mrs. Venture has chang ed her mind since then for her hus- band said this morning that she had left town again. He has become tired 1 of asking her to return to him and went to Hartford this morning to consult lawyer in regard to secur- ing a divorce. Just what grounds he will base his complaint on he refus- ed to divulge, saying my lawyer told me not to tell" When asked who his lawyer is,. he declined to say.
 Another episode was added to the case yesterday when Robert Deming, state truant officer, was in town in- quiring the reason for the two young CT Ventura cnildren's absence from school The couple have four chil- dren, Florence, Joseph, Dominick and Kathryn. Florence and Joseph work while the two youngsters attend schooI-at times. MT. Deming noti- fled Ventura that the children must attend school and made the suggcs. ton that they be placed in the care of the wife. When interviewed the other day Mrs. Ventura said she would be like to have two of the children and from her attitude it wa! gathered that she preferred the twt older children. The whole trouble will probably be aired again in su- perior court
