WOULD KILL HER LIKE A GREASER
 WIFE TEST|FIES

When she would not submit to his indignities, Claude Coffin of this city, backed her against the wall with a sun pointed at her heart and dec1ar- ed that 'the had killed so many greaz- CTS he would just as soon blow her heart out" Mary Bundle Hyde Golf fin testified in the Superior court this morning before Judge l.. P. w. Mar win. in asking for a divorce on the grounds of intolerable cruelty.
 Mrs. Coffin, who is exceedingly daughter q years old by a former marriage. She had obtained di- vorce from her first husband in New Haven on the grounds of adultery, she said.
 She and Coffin were married in St.
 Paufs church this city, June IS, 1917, and his cruelty began two months later, she testified. Coffin frequent
 ed a ner @ with gaa asr and ana naY drene
 her into an exceedingly nervous con
 dition, she said. Because of her two children by previous marriage, she
 had always worked. part of the time in the Graphophone company and part of the time in the U. M. C. Go. Coffin, she said, had never supported her. When she was out of work she lived on the money she had saved. At one time he threw a cup at the daughter with such force that it re- mained stuck in the wall and at an other. in an argument, he struck the girl in the eyes. causing them to be- come black and blue. He was also cruel to the boy.
 Much of Mrs Coffin's testimony could not be printed. Thomas Edge 1 worth, who "ca11s on" Amy Elizabeth ] Hyde, daughter of Mrs. Coffin, testi- fled to seeing Coffin threaten his wife l with a gun and also to seeing Miss l Hyde with her eyes black and blue ! from Coffin's blows.
 Mrs Fanny Glitter testified that she had advised Mrs. Coffin againsd | marrying Coffin because The wal 1 cruel to his mother and he will bt l cruel to you."@ She said that abou 1 two months after they were married l she found Mrs. Coffin i'll in bed from | the blows of her husband, with the marks showing black and blue on hel body.
 She also had seen the cup stucl lin the wall where he threw it at tn daughter. Judge Marvin granted the deere but there was some question ahou l the change of name for which sh l asked Her first divorce had givel her permission, she said to use he 4 maiden name of Rundle although he { H.iIdren's names are Hyde. IudE Marvin questioned this but gave he
 permission to use whatever name tn

Asleep In Cottage.
 The fire was discovered by Eden Whitman who resides in a small two story frame cottage and who was awakened this morning by the crack ling of the flames.
 At the time he, with his two small children and the housekeeper. were asleep on the second floor. Upon the other members of the household and an attempt to escape the flames by going down the front stairs was made The means of escape was cut off by the flames which by this time had turned the first, floor into verit- able roaring furnace.
 An attempt was then made to get down the back stairs but this avenue ofescape was also nut off by the blaze. By this time the flames had begun to eat into the second floor oI the home and Whitman realized that if he intended to leave the building alive ftw ould only be done at the FISK of his life. He accordingly made his way to the. front porch and climbing over the rail 1eaped for the ground. The children then made their way to the front porch with difficulty and ieaped from the second floor into the arms of their father who stood be- low ready to rescue them.
 Housekeeper Follows.
 Then ousekeeper also made her es- cape in this way. At this hour the temperature was lowering around the Is above zero mark and the father picking the children up in his arms all four still in their nightc1oth es- made their way to the home of John Boyle which was directly opposite the buring building. The Boyle family had not as yet been awakened but 1m- mediately upon answering the call for help MT. Boyle realized that the fire in the Whitman house was beycne control and due to the stiff breeze that was blowing the other 50 odd houses which were situated in thai colony, would soon be enyeIoped 1T flames unless the fire department was mediate1y summoned.
 l. MT. Boyle therefore rang in the first alarm It was a matter of 2e minutes before the fire deparannen1 arrived due to the fact that the Fair field department is a. volunteer or ganization and that night man is no kept on duty.
 f2 Cottages Dana ed.
 By the time the department arriv. ed the flames had spread to 12 diff ferent cotta ges, all of which wer' l damaged to some extent. Anothel alarm was also rung in, the fire hay ing increased to great proportIon' l which brought out the Southpor | Fire department. The flames, how I ever were too much for both depart 1 nents, even though they combines l their efforts to fight, and anothe l alarm was turned in flor the Bridge 1 port departme The work of tn ] fremen was greatly hampered b. lack of water turned off during tn 1 winter at that section of the beach.

 NEAR WESTP0RT

Two attempted ho1dups. both in the same vicinity and both believed to have been by the same man were reported to the detective bureau to- day. The first complaint was receiv- ed about o'clock this morning from O. w. Mather of 126 Allyn street, Hartford, w1ro reported that while driving through Westport with F. L. Vickey, also of Hartford, the shadow of a man was cast across the front of the car and upon getting closer he saw that he had moved from the side of the road to the center and also that he had a pistol in his hand. He Immediately swerved to one side of the road at the same time putting on speed and rode right by the aHeg- ed thug No shots were fired.
 The driver of the Ward Baking Go. truck soon after reported an attempt to hold him up at the same point but he also managed to elude the thug. Tn both cases the cripdon of tho man tally. He is described as being about middle height and wearing an army overcoat. A cap which was pulled down sharply over his eyes conceaIs the features of his face. a The matter has been reported tc the State Police who are investigat- ing the case in conjunction with the local authorities

It was necessary for the Southport department to lay over two thousand feet of hose from hydrant. Ac- cording to the information that could be learned today. the residents of that section are now arranging for an Indignation meeting to protest to the Bridgeport Hydraulic Company against thes hutting off of this water.
 Form Bucket Brigade.
 The breeze which had been flaming !. the flames until this point, subsided and the flames were soon under con- trol Over 100 volunteer firemen had arrived and a bucket brigade was formed, which brought sand in pails from the beach, poured on the roofs from the sparks.
 Most of the houses are of the one story frame type and easy prey to the raging flames. Fortunately only one of the cottages which was burned, was occupied, all the others being closed for the winter. The total damage will not be known for some time, but according to an estimate taken by the fire department 1t Is not expected to run over $15,0OO
 None Seriously Hurt
 Due to the condition of the weath- CT ana the difficulty which the fire-s men experienced in confininga the flames to the twelve homes many Of the f1remen were injured Or frost bitten but as far as could be ascer- ta1ned none were injured very seri- ously.
 '"The Butler ~the Whitman cottape was totally destroyed including a large player piano, g. graphophone a large library and all the furniture The total damage is estimated at close to S4,O00. The cottage is own- ed by Mir. Whitman.
 Ocean Waver1y'' which is owned 1 by LoWney Williams of Danburv was also totally destroyed. A garage i which was in the rear of this cof 1 tage was burned to the ground. The l house had been unoccupied for some time.
 .. New Cottage Destroyed. 1 A newly built garage believed to be owned by J. Migenery of Danloury l is also a complete loss. The garage 1 In the rear and all the furnishing i in the home which had recently been 1 installed were also destroyed The ] estimated damage is $3,060 1 Five other cottages which were 1 owned by c. w. Thorpe a carper1tsr and contractor of Fairfield were par
 tially destroyed. Two cottages be- l lieved to be owned by James Greene l of Danbury were also badly burned | Two other cottages one of which is i owned by J. Migenery Of Danbury l and another one of which the own l CT is unknown were also damaged in some way.
 MT. Whitman and his children l who lost all their earthly belongings in the fire it is believed, are for the 1 present being cared for at the home of the Rev. c. E. Wilcox, pastor of
 the First Congregational church in Fairfield

SAVES CHILL LDREN IN BEACH FIRE
Boston Boys Resent
 Invasion Of Woman

Boston. March 17.-Woman's invasion of mans spheres has ex- tended to young Miss America. The boys of Greater Boston are making a stand against feminine assault on a sport hitherto almost exclusively their own, the game of marbles.
 On the sidewalks of the sub- urbs since the reigns of spring ap- l,eared passersby forced to detour to the curbing have found girls almost as numerous as boys in the game. The sisters play for keeps too, and often with a skill that has sent their own and other brothers home barbleless. As 8 result the girls also. nowadays, 20 home with hands soiled and knees muddied. and mothers find cause to lament the trend of the times.
 Another change in the condf- ttons of the game as played Dy the new generation Is the substf- tuition of pennies for the agates and classics that were the ob- jects of shot and roll in the old days.
