New Haven, Jan, 10 tPl George Il, Loomis, of G3 White street. West Haven is crinrinally responsible for tho death of Frederick Gordon Mead, 54, of Milford, who was killed in an automobile accident on Amity Road, Woodbridge, on the afternoon of January 5 in a finding handed down hy Coroner Eli Mix today.
