 BROUGHT TO AN END
Man Who Entered U. $. Illegally and Wed,
 Must Leave

Torn from the girl for the love oi whom he crossed the Atlantic as a stowaway, Lucien Osiakawski of { Bronson street must return to Ger. many and await his turn with the regular quota of immigrants, which will mean a delay of at least one year and possibly longer, according to notice served on him yesterday by federal agent who located him with the assistance of Sergeant T J.

 Osiakawski was living in Hamburg when he became acquainted with Olga Zander and when she left for the United States his love and af- lection went with her. She went about her departure in a manner permitted and encouraged by law, but he. lonesome for her company. could not wait for the time when he might do likewise and join her without fear of being deported, so he boarded a ship later and with the assistance of a friendly crew, made
 
 tened to renew the companionship he had so sorely missed.
 Osiakawski came to New Britain in May, 1928, according to the au- thorities, and a short time later ne and Miss Zander were married. He has been employed at the P. & F. Corbin factory and looking forward to the birth of an heir, which will take place shortly, but the sudden turn of events took him by surprise and today he was face to face viii a government order to leave the country.
 When the federal agent interview ed Osiakawski yesterday. the latter is said to have hesitated. realizing that his illegal entry to the country had been reported. but Mrs. Osia- kawski urged him not to hedge but 10 be truthful. She born up brave ly, the authorities say. her demean- or indicating that she must have steeled herself against such an oc- currence as though appreciating that it was inevita ble.
 Mrs. Osiakawski's father posted a $500 Liberty Bond and her husband was not arrested. Because Of his Willingness to return to Germany it will not be necessary to deport him, and while he is awaiting the arrival Of the date on which he can start back again under passport. his wife will remain here to keep the home and prepare a welcome.

Three Step Uninjured From Sedan
 After It Zooms From Road to Lot
Lands Upside
 in Field Off West Main
 Street Driver Placed
 Under Arrest.

After light sedan had left the highway in front of SS6 West Main street. at 5:3o o'clock this morning, had looped in the air and landed upside down in lot. three men stepped out of the car. surveyed the wreckage for a moment. and then calmly walked up West Main street :n the direction of the city's center.
 Robert Young of 2S0 Elm street, driver of the machine, went direct ly to the offices of the Parker Buckley Baking Co.,. on Winter street. and entered complain that one of the companys trucks had forced him of the roadway. Jack Shaw. who lives at the same ad- dress. went to the New Britain Gen. eral hospital for x-ray pictures to determine the extent of his injury, which, it is expected. will be minor. James Young. of Hartford. return ed to his home. The men in the wrecked sedan were negroes.
 Auto Completely Wrecked
 It is doubtful If there is enough left of the automobile to attempt repair. The roof was sheared of. windows were shattered. the left side of the car was torn away, one of the front wheels left the machine whole the other was fiattened against the body. and the axles and chassis were twisted.
 Sergeant John C. Stadler was de- tailed to investigate after the bak- ing company had requested that Young's complain be checked up. The sergeant's measurements brought out the following figures. The highway is 36 feet wide, 20 feet of this being pavement; the automo- bile stopped 63 feet from the point at which marks of burnt tires in- dicated the application of brakes; the wrecked car was travelling five feet to the left of the center of the highway.
 Sergeant Stadler talked with Shaw at the hospital. He said Young at tempted to pass the bakery car at point nearly opposite the West Main street entrance to the Hart X Hutchinson plant. encountered wet pavement, lost control of his ma chine, and plunged into the lot.
 Just off the soft dirt shoulder, the front of the sedan struck an up- rooted tree trunk. This caused the machine to turn a complete loop and repose upside down in the lot. The crash of the metal and breaking glass attracted persons living near by. and when they looked out Of their windows they were astonished to see three men leaving the wreck age, apparently unhurt.
 Driver Under Arrest
 Young. driver of the wrecked ma chine, was interviewed by Sergeant Stadler some time after the accident and was placed under arrest on charge of violating the rules of the road. He will be presented in police court tomorrow morning.
 Shaw left the hospItal after the X-ray pictures had been taken. IL IS not yet known whether he has suffered serious injury but his gen eral condition indicates that he has not.

 Frederick R. Coudert, IT,. chair man. one of four former assistant United States attorneys on the com mittee. explained its purpose and aims as follows:

 Since the sale of a glass of beer has been raised to the dignity Of q felony. carrying penalties similar to those provided in this state for as- sault and manslaughter. 1t was thought wise to form . committee to assist those who have done nothing, condemned by civilized society and who might be subject to such severe penalties.
 Aside from the law. the sale of intoxicants h not wrong. While 1t
