Former Residents 1 Story Of Attack
 Causes Probe
Youths (io to Rescue of Woman and Escort in Wrecked Car-Woman Attacked and Then Aban' doned on Prospect Road

In a lonely section of the high way Mrs Cotter's friend was thrown out of the car and told to take walk for himself. A few miles further Mrs Cotter claimed that she was attacked and assaulted and abandoned on the road. She made her way to a farm house and asked for help. She was brought back to Waterbury about o'clock in the morning. In telling her story to the police she reported the loss of her pocketbook.
 Patrolmen Vincent Begg and AL fred Overton of the police motor patrol later found Mrs Cotter's ma chine at the foot of the embank- ment of the Scott road. A bank book in the pocket of the car dis closed the identity of the owner.
 Sergeant Gene Lezi of the state police is assisting members of the local detective bureau in the in- vestigation of the case. There arc several phases of Mrs Cotter's story that require thorough investiga- ton. The police are puzzled as to the time 1t took before they re- ceived word of the assault and rob- bery.
 Mrs Cotter formerly resided on Crown street. Her name prior to her marriage was Bovine.

The story of three Good Samari- tatls" double crossing a woman nntoist and her male companion found stranded after an automobile accident was being investigated to- day by state and local police. Three youths are being sought in connec- ton with the allegation or Mrs Leon Cotter of New York, former
 Waterburian, who claims that she was beaten, robbed, criminally as- Ratilted and abandoned on the Prospect Waterbury road early yesterday morning. Her male companion, a resident of New Ha- ven. was also beaten and tossed out of an automobile. The local po- licc learned to-day that he succeed cd in reaching his home in New Haven about 6 o'clock yesterday morning in ignorance of the ex- p9riences of Mrs Cotter. His name and story were to be obtained TO- day by the state police.
 Two residents of Prospect brought Mrs Cotter to local police haadauarters shortly before o. clock yesterday morning. She riainned that late Saturday evening she and her friend started for New Haven in her car. While driving along the Cheshire road she be- came confused and made a sharp turn near the trolley pass at Reid vile. Her machine went down an enban,:mcnt near the intersection of the Plank and Scott roads.
 While she was making vain CT. forts to extricate the car and ret hack onto the highway three young mn passing by in a car stoppd to render assistance. The stranded couple were advised to leave their machine where 1t was and accompany the trio back to the city where they could obtain help from a service station.

Libby To Surrender
 Before Night Ends

 few years ago entertained its last nationally prominent case. that of a girl charged with murder. snc was Alma Petty Gatlin. The state alleged that, angered by supposed noistreatment of her mother by her father. she killed her father with an ax. The jury acquitted her: Since then, until the possibility or the coming of Libby Holman. few things have happened in went
 Indications were that Libby would meet much the same treat ment at the hands of the state as did Albert Walker when her case finally gets before the court. In Walkers case the state announced if had no evidence of "premedi- tation or reliberation" and con- geuted to bail--an indication that 1t would not press charge or first degree murder.
 "We'l cross that bridge when we come to it." was the answer of Assistant Solicitor J. Erie Hc- Michael when he was asked If the same course would be followed Tn Libby's instance.
 Elaborate preparations for Lib- by's defense are being made. When her attorneys were equipped with the certificates of physicians setting forth that she is an ex- pectant mother they planned to show that the medical men be- lieye she is suffering from severe shock as a result of the tragedy which has befallen her. These documents were to be presented Tn addition to a general plea that the evidence does not justify holding her.
 One interesting development of the last few days. has been no. ticeable change in the attitude of the principals on the opposing sides of the case. Alfred Holman, Libby's father, came here issuing statements denouncing the prose- cution of his daughter as a frame up" by politically ambitious prose- cutors. He acclaimed upon the subject. He was bitter.
 But he had been here only a matter of hours when his attitude began to soften.
 Tt was the most courageous act ever knew a prosecutor to do," he said to the United Press Correspondent in discussing the consent of the state to the release of Walker upon bail.
 He was loud in his praise of the conduct of the state attorneys. Even while he was talking, one of the solicitors came by. Holman greeted him pleasantly and they exchanged small talk smilingly.

It was reported Baron Wilhelm von Gayl might be appointed president of East Prus- sia, yielding the interior ministry to a fascist.

Ulric von Hassel, minister to Belgrade and son in law of the late Admiral von Tirpitz, was mentioned as a candidate for foreign minister.

But he is not to have the field to himself. Mayor Francis T. Maloney of Meriden is being boomed and even Town Chairman David Mccoy of New Haven is one of his support CTS.
 It is believed that the Told guard" faction in the third dis-, trict will support Mayor Maloney and oppose Major Shanley.
 Dr Edward O. Dolan of MAn- chester is also being mentioned for the nomination of United States senator. He will receive little or no support from Water- bury, it is understood. It is highly possible that in a deadlock Ho- mer Cummings of Stamford will slip into the nomination despite his declarations that he is not candidate for the post.
