 SUFFERS NO DAMAGE WHEN HUSBAND DIES
Worcester Court So Decides In Mrs. Antone's SIS, 1000
 Suit
Says He Was Not Means of Support
 But a Burden

That her husband was not a means of support. but rather burden. and that therefore she was not entitled to the Sl5.O0O damages which she sought from a Danielson farmer because of the death of her husband from alco- holism, was the decision handed down by the judge of the Worcester county superior court, who last week heard the damage suit instituted by Mrs Joseph Antoae of North Grosyenar- dale.
 Mrs. Antone set up the claim that her husband bought three gallons of alcohol from a Dudley man, who was defendant in the case; that her hus- band drank the liquor; that it made him violently i'll, causing him to go blind and that in three weeks time the liquor had caused his death.
 The judge hearing the case. said in his decision, that Mrs. Antone sui fered no damage because of the death of her husband on account of his alleged purchase of moonshine whis- key from the Dudley farmer. Court further found that the husbands death was due to intoxieation and that the liquor alleged to have been sold by the defendant was a contri- outing cause. but that the husband was not a means of support, but rather a burden. and for this reason. court maintained, the plaintiff was not damaged.
 Judgement was entered for the de- fense.

MEETS TRAGIC DEATH
Franklin. Visitor to Thompson
 Drowns Saving Companion

Friends of Harlan Franklin, n j1- nior at Yale, were shocked to hear of his tragic death by drowning in the Housanonic river on Sunday, when he and a companion saved two others from drowning when their canoes cap sized, and then, exhausted, were drowned themselves. The college boy was a grandson of the late James Kingsbury of Thompson. who for many years was prominent in town af- fairs, being town clerk. He was also the nephew of Miss Myrtice Kingsbury who teaches school in Torrington. and spends the summer months at her home in Thompson. Harlan was fre- quent visitor to Thompson and was well known among the townspeople.
