CASE AGAINST
 CORBETT BEING HOTLY FOUGHT

The cases of Michael SIonski and George S. Shea against James Cor bett manager of the Newtown Inn. are being bitterly fought in the Com mon pleas court, before Judge John R. Booth and a jury. Counsel for both sides were entering strenuous objections of much of the testimony. Witnesses introduced by the defense were frequently interrupted by the plaintiffs attorney.
 Two important witnesses were Ellis and Walsh of New Haven, investigat- ors and adjustors for automobile in surance companies, through whom it was plain the defense wished to show that the Corbett car did not show any signs of damage after the col lision The fact that Ellis had an parently coached Walsh this mornin,, enroute to Bridgeport for the trial, tended to spoil much of the testimony of Walsh, who failed to recall that Slonski showed signs of injury when he interviewed him on September II following the accident on August 22 last.
 Slonski is asking personal damages of S2.O0O and Shea asks $500 for damage to his car which Slonsti was driving. The defense is also trying to show that Slonski was not quail fled by license to be operating a car in Connecticut at the time.
