BRAVED BLIZZARD
 TO ESCAPE WIFE
Addington Smith Tells of Flight, Alleges Cruelty
 in Divorce Action

Leaving property worth seven to eight thousand doars behind him, Addington Smith of Cheshire, trudged IS miles through a bliz- gard, crossing the American Cana . dian boundary, to get away from his wife, he testified in superior court today in the divorce suit he brought on grounds of cruety against Elizabeth Smith. Judge Ar thur F. Fills who heard the case, reserved decision.
 Smith said he owned a farm, four horses and seven head of cat tie in New Brunswick, Can. He was engaged in the lumberjack business in the Canadian woods. His wife's four cousins, all des- cribed as big men, worked in the woods with him and lived with him in the cabin they made their home.
 His wife threatened to cripple him, Smith said, and became fear full when he overheard her suggest ing to the cousins to get the plain tiff in the woods and "beat him up." Smith said it was in Feb ruary, in 1928 that he decided to leave. Packing up at 7:30 in the evening he started out for Maine, IS miles away. A blizzard was hurl- ing drifts of snow in his path. He trudged throughout the night and reached his destination the next morning. He came to Hamden, set up gas station and finally went to work in Cheshire for Judge Fred erick M. Peasley on the latter's farm. Smith has never made claim for his New Brunswick property.
 Judge Ells pointed out it was an interesting story but he did not hear much testimony on intolera- ble cruelty grounds. The Smiths were married in 1918.
 Judge Els reserved decision also on the divorce of Mae E. Linnane against James F. Linnane, brought on cruelty grounds. A decree on grounds of desertion was granted Inez Obare Callahan against Le. Roy F. Callahan of Terryville. They were married Nov. 23, 1925. Deser. tion occurred Nov. 1, 1880.

Roosevelt Inspired the Market in Late Trading To-da
Ne1O England Retail
 Sales Are Increasing
They Showed Gain of Over Ten Percent in First Two Weeks of June-WeeEy Review of Conditions

sentiment in the textile market is much better" the Review said, interest noted In the wool trade last week having developed into increased activity. Principal ac- tlvlty was in the midwestern neeces.
 There is little demand for car- pet wools but m increased call for wool tops tx reported. Prices are rather irregular. Deliveries of tops continue very slow. Consider. able western wool Is beginning to come Into Boston. Worsted yarn spinners are receiving very little business, and the market Is .un. settled.
 Cotton prices nre lower. and the mills arc buying comparatively little nt present. Considerable nc. tivlty Is noted In gray goods. heavy trading having been reported on several days during the week Sheetings are in good demand, and print clothes. broadcloths. and several of the finer number are moving in good quantities. Cotton yarns are sellin very slowly, at fairly steady prices.
 Further increases in operations are reported by many shoe mnnu. fncturcrs and concerns making the lower grades are particularly busy. Very few price concessions are re. ported. The hide and skin market continues firm, with moderate volume of business transacted.
 Manufacturers have reduced their furniture price quotations to some extent, resulting in n much moro active business. They nre, however, purchasing lumber only moderately. Lumber price quota. tions continue without change.
 output of electricity In New England during past two weeks has been slightly less than 2 per cent below the current weeks of last year. Massachusetts payroll and employment returns are both slightly above last years figures, with n small seasonal reduction from the previous months.
 "Tho sale of new automobiles continues well nbove last years figures Tire sales arc somewhat slower, due to heavier purchasing In tho early part of the year, and the sale of automobile nccegsories ls fairly active. In the retail field, bread nnd other bakery products and mons clothing still make the best showing ns compared with three ycar period, 1026.1027."
