SUPREME COURT
 HOLDS SALE IS NOT VALID ONE
Payments Would Have Last ed 57 Years By Terms of Agreement Owner Was
 to Receive.

That the sale of property at State and Water streets on terms which would make 76 year old Katherine Lieberum wait 57 years for her final payment should be set aside, is the decision of the Supreme court of Err TOTS handed down today in Hartford. The court finds no error in the de- cision of Judge Curtis, who heard the case in the Superior court and found in favor of Mrs. Lieberum in her suit against Jennie Nussenbaum of this city, who bought the property.
 The property was sold for s57,00 but because of the terms which Mrs. Lie iberum claimed she did not under stand when the contract was made, she brought suit to have the transac- tion set aside.
 Mrs. Lieberum claimed she was de- ceived by those with whom she talked at the conference at which the deal was completed. The defendant de- clared Mrs. Lieberum claimed to un- derstand what the contract meant and said she did not need a lawyer. By the terms of the agreement Mrs. Lie berum was to receive $1, 900 cash down and the remainder of the purchase price of S57, 900 in annual payments of
 S1,000 each.

 Forced to Withdraw.

Bridgeport's political circles from Mayor Wilson down to the lowest henchman of the G. O. P. was nysti- fled this morning by the reported withdrawal of John T. King as back CT of the General Leonard Wood boom for the presidential nomina. ton.
 Mayor Wilson stated that the news in the morning papers was the first that he had heard of the incident and claimed that he did not know that such a course was even contem. plated by the Fairfield county lead- CT.
 Members of the local ring this morning were loud in their praise sof their leader and said that he was not forced to withdraw as many would seem to believe.
 No one at the city hall this morn ing could say whether MT. King was expected to return to Bridgeport at once or not A few are inclined to believe that he has taken up with a Western man and base their belief on the statement that he has spent much of his time in the West and such a course would give him a stronger hold on the West and by his own personal efforts they believe he would be able to swing the Eastern dele gates to his man.

New York, Jan. 9-As the result Of a collision during a fog early today in the lower harbor between the British freighter Lancastrian and the Ameri- can cargo steamer West Avenal, the latter vessel is resting in shallow wa ter off a Staten Island pier with a large hole in her port quarter.
 The LancaStrian was outward bound for Antwerp and the American ship was coming up the harbor to her pier. Both were under moderate speed when they struck.
 The crash brought the crew of the latter vessel on deck and boats were cleared to get away, but when it was seen there was a possibility of beach ing her, full speed was given to her engines and she was worked up to within a short distance of the dock when the weight of water caused her to settle to the bottom.

CHEFS WIDOW
 IS GIVEN FULL
 COMPENSATION
City of Shelton Must Pay Mrs. Robbins Sum of SIS
 for 312 Weeks.

The widow of Chief of Police Wm. P. Robbins is entitled to the maxi mum compensation of SIS a week for SIP weeks, from the City of Shelton, because of the death of her husband from heart disease resulting from over-exertion in chasing two men wanted by the State Police. The award was made by Compensation Comm missioner D. T. Buckingham to- iday.
 Chief Robbins had been suffering from heart disease for some time when on about o'clock in the morn ing on Nov. '13, 1918, he was re- quested by the State Police to be on the lookout for two men who were wanted for a crime committed in a neighboring village.
 The chief went to the railroad sta tfon and noticed two men who an swered the description of the men who were wanted. As he approached them, they started to run and the chief chased them up a long hill and finally captured them under the rail- road vfaduct. He locked the men up and immediately complained of not feeling well. A doctor who was call ed advised him to go to his home where he died at five minutes tc twelve the same morning.
 The medical testimoI 2 the hear ing on the claim for compensation showed that Chief Robbins died from heart disease which had been agra vated by the chase of the two men
 The City of Shelton fought the case on the ground that he had had heart disease before the chase, and that his death was not caused by an injury received in the course of, or arising out of, his employment.
 The commissioner ruled that the Su- preme court had decided in a former case that under the Connecticut Com pensation Act the acce1eration or az gaavation of a pre- existing disease en. titled the claimant to compensation and ordered the City of Shelton to pay Mrs. Robbins the maximum award of SIS a week for 312 weeks ant $1O0 for funeral expenses.
