 MT. and Mrs. Earl P. Atwood, who have been visiting at the home of MT. and Mrs. J. Frederick Blass have returned to their home in Waterbury. In superior court at Waterbury last week the second trial of the we'll known case of Nellie Fields against Ellen and Owen Fields of Norfolk opened before Judge John P. Kellogg, Nellie Fields asking for $15, 1000 dam ages from her mother-in-law and from the estate of her father-in-law for the alienation of the affections of her husband, Eugene Fields. The case attracted considerable atten- tion in 1917 when it was tried before jury in superior court. The court at that time granted judgment of non-suit, but attorneys for the plain tiff appealed to the supreme court of errors, which found error and or dered a new trial. Shortly before the first trial the plaintiffs husband Eugene Fields, died. Since the su- perme court has found error in the ruling of the superior court, another party to the action, Owen Fields, 8 codefendant, has died.
