Judgment for damages of $S00 and costs was rendered by Judge John H. Keeler of the superior court in a de- eision handed down by him on Tues day in the suit of Sarrofini Montes, a minor. of this city, against Frank T. Preston of Killingly for $10.000. The verdict given for the plaintiff does not carry expenses of hospital or medical treatment, with which, the judge says in his memorandum of decision, the father of the boy is chargeable, but he is of the opinion that they can be re- covered in a legal action brought by the father against the defendant in this ease.
 The case was tried in this city seY- eral weeks ago. with Attorneys Doug lass and A. L. Brown appearing for the plaintiff and Attorney Pierce of Waterbury for the defendant. It was claimed that the Monies boy had been hit and badly injured by an automo- bile owned by MT. Preston and driven tion of High street on Aug. 3, 1916. The claim was also made that the boy, who was g years old at the time, had suffered injuries that had permanently retarded his growth and development, mentally and physically.
 In his memorandum of decision, Judge Keeler says in part; I cannot accept the version of the circum- stances of the injury inflicted on the plaintiff outlined in the testimony of the defendant and his witnesses. It seems largely an attempt to recon struct from conjecture and deceptive memory an occurrence which by it's gravity and suddenness might well leave confused impression on those

REFUSES DIVORCE TO
 HAMBURG WOMAN On Grounds of Conformation After Husbands IntoIerahIe Cruelty to Her.

In a decision handed down on Tues day, Judge John H. Keeler of the su- ljerioc coSrt found in favo- of the de- fendant and dismissed the complaint in the contested divorce suit of Mrs. Florence L. Leeds of Hamburg who sought divorce from George w. Leeds of the same place on the grounds of ntolerable cruelty
 In his memorandum of decision, Judge Keeler stated that from the ap- pearance and bearing he felt that little reliance could be placed on her tes timony except where corroborated It was cofroborated. however. on the grounds of the assault made upon her by her husband, which constituted in- tolerable cruelty. but he refused the divorce because of the testimony that they had lived together in the same house after this assault and apparently had resumed marital relations, which constituted conformation on the part of the wife.
 In the trial of the case the assault referred to consisted of Mr. Leeds hit ting his wife in the face with an iron pot, cutting her nose so that she ran to a nearby store with the blood streaming down her face and claim ing that her husband was trying to murder her

present and to a certain extent par tieipating without tmputing any wilful Justification. This conclusion IS strengthened by the fact that after the trial had actually commenced the de- fendant was led to shift the scene 3 considerable distance from the point where he originally supposed it took place. The absence of the defend- ants daughter, who drove the car, quite casually and inadequately ac- counted for, counts against the defend ant. She was clearly a witness of the first importance and should have been produced or her deposition taken. The contradictory statements of the chauffeur of the New Haven car and the other occupant who testified as to the fact of the ice wagon being in front of the house at the time of the injury destroyed in my mind any value of the testimony from that source. I find that the ice wagon was not at that time in front of the house, but was there afterWard
 Judge Keeler finds that the evil dence showed the driver of the car had a clear view for 240 feet and was negligent in not seeing the boy and in not sufficiently checking the car so as not to hit him. Had the driver exer
 cised the care called for, the boy would not have been hit. He finds that the car was being driven at the rate of 25 miles an hour. which in it. self constituted negligence in that par ticular spot in the highway.
 On the point of the injuries to the boy. without accepting the testimony of Dr. Donohue in full. the judge finds that his growth was retarded, but he may now be said to have recovered and will develop normally

sEReT. SAWYER WAS
 BURIED IN MAINE
Waterford Boy Who. Met Death or
 Flying Field in Michigan.


 The body of Sergeant Edward G. Sawyer, the first Waterford boy to lose his life in this war. was brought from the flying field at Mt. Clemens, Mich, to Belfast Me. during the past week, and buried there beside the body of his mother.
 Edward G. Sawyer was born and brought up in Great Neck, Waterford, and attended the public schools of this town, graduating. from Bulkeley school in New London only few years ago. Young Sawyer; NSao was only 19 years old was at work in Hartford when he enlisted in the signal corps of the army in the Aero Gunnery school and was stationed at Selfridge field Mt. Clemens, Mich, when the ac- cident occurred that caused his death.
 Sergt, Edward G. Sawyer was known as crew chief of the 330th Aero Squadron. With Lieutenant Tenn pleton of Oregon as pilot, he was try ing out new motor in an airpiane, When about 200 feet high on the fly ins field those who were watching the flight saw that they were failing to control the motor and had started for the river that bordered the flying | field. When within about 50 feet of I the river the plane struck the ground nose forward, and it is thought by those who saw the accident that the l two young men must have been killed instantly. Immediately after tht plane struck 50 gallons of ignited gas oline was preeipiated over the tive 1 men, burning their bodies beyond rec ognition. It is the supposition that the machine was on fire near the motor.
 Sergeant Sawyer's remains were brought from Mt Clemens to Bel fast. Me, after he had been tendereC a military funeral at Mt. Clemens. volley of 20 shots was fired after tht services before the body of Sergean Sawyer started on it's long journe, to Maine accompanied by Corp. M 0 Osborne, a close conlrade of the deai man.
 Sergt Sawyer's mother was Nils Nellie Gardner of Norwich His father Edgar Sawyer, formerly of Montv.sHs and his sister. Miss May Sawyer, wh are at present living in West Haven attended the services conducted a the chapel in Grove cemetery in Bel fast. Me.
 Edgar Sawyer, father of the dea boy, was a popular man in Grea Neck, where he came to manage tn large farm of Dr Thomas Roger. The entire family was highly respect ed in the town of Waterford wher young Sawyer was born on Septembe l1S. 1S9S

DENIES MRS. SIMON
 DIVORCE ACTION
Wife of Insane New Haven Printer in Norwich State Hospital Will Take Case to the Supreme Court.

By a judgment handed down on Monday by Judge Howard J. Curtis in the New Haven superior court, the pe- titon of Mrs. Olga W. Symon, form erly of New Haven, now employed in the war department at Washington, D. C., for a divorce from James c. Sy- mon, formerly New Haven printer, now considered in hopeless condition at the Norwich State Hospital is de- flied and the complaint dismissed.
 Represented by the law firm of Fitz- Gerald & Walsh, Mrs. Symon brought action on the grounds that the defend ant concealed from her prior to and at the time of marriage his true mental condition, and the marriage was fraudulent. Public Defender Charles c. Ford represented Symon.
 Attorneys say it is the first time a divorce libel has been brought on these grounds, that the action estab- Iished precedent and the outcome has been watched with much interest by the legal fraternity. According to statement of counsel for Mrs Symon, the case will now go to the supreme court by reservation. It is an action that has been in the. courts since the first. of the ySaE.
