Tuesday, en- taiiing a loss estimated at over Sl5,- 900. The property was owned and 0c- cupied by Burton Bosworth and 1t is understood was only partly covered by insurance. It is believed that the fire started around the chimney.
 The blaze was first seen by Frank Weeks of Putnam. taxi driver, who was passing the place. At that time the flames were creeping along the roof famed by high wind. Mir. Weeks gave the alarm and soon crowd gathered. There was an at tempt to check the flames by buck ct brigade but the effort was useless. Only a small part of the furniture was saved.
 Fine Mansion
 The house, q fine mansion, was built by Fayette Wright nearly quarter of a century ago. It was on a sight ly spot and was located back from the road. Mir. Wright now lives in Flor ida and sold the house some time ago to Mir. Bosworth, former mail carrier. of Woodstock. in addition to the house there was a fine. large barn. This did not burn as the wind was in the opposite direction.
 The house was occupied by Mir Bosworth and by Matthew Murray. on an estate in Pomfret Both lost all of their household furni. ture. A call was sent to the Putnam fire department but under the estab- Iished rule that the city's fire appa- ratus is not to leave Putnam the de- partment did not respond. Chief fhurston went to the scene. He saved the telephone instrument in the house but was unable to save the electric light meter.
 Many people motored Go the scene of the fire. l. was but q short time before the fine building was reduced 10 ashes.

COUZENS NAMED
IN SUIT

Senator James Couzens OF Mich,
recently the victor in an income
tax suit filed against him by the
Government, now faces a $500, 900
damage suit for alleged Islander as
an outgrowth OF the famous Ford
Motor stock case.
Howe p. Cochran, tax con
sultant with offices in the Munsey
Building filed the action in Circuit
Court today. Through Attorneys
Wilton J. Lambert, r. Fl. Yeatman
and George d. Horning, jr., he says
that when the Senator first became
imbroiled with the Government he
was engaged to assist him in pre-.
pairing his successful defense in the
suit to reduce the assessments
against his Ford motor stock.
The alleged slanderous remarks,
1t is charged, were uttered by the
Senator on the floor of the Senate
during a speech on April ~, last
when he is said to have insinuated
that the plaintiff was corrupt,
dishonest and guilty of fraudulent,
collusiVe, illegal and unethical con-
duct in the practice of his profess
sion"
Cochran alleges that the remarks
were not made in connection with
proposed legislation, but were
prompted by malice and do not fall
within the protection of Senatorial
immunity,
