ICE PRICE FIGHT IN WATERBURY
 DRAWING NEAR
One Company Wanted to Increase But Evidently
 Got No Supporters

Waterbury Is on the eve of one of the bitterest ice price wars in its history, it was learned today. Suggestions allegediy by the South ern New England Ice company two weeks ago to the other two ice manufacturing concerns in the city have, to date, fallen on deaf ears, apparently. Under the plan of the Southern New England company the price of ice to independent dis tributors would be increased 50 per cent but the Reliable Ice company of Meadow street and the Waterbury Pure Ice company of Orange street and others have failed, so far. to approve the plan.
 Company Retallates
 As a result, it is understood on very reliable authority, the South ern New England company has retaliated by slashing the price of its ice in the cases of several dis tributors in an effort to take GUS toners away from the other two ice manufacturing concerns.
 The normal price for ice paid by

WEALTHY FARMER PROVES VICTIM
 OF MURDER PLOT
Wife and Her Childhood Sweetheart Plotted For
 Three Months

Woodston, N. J., Aug. S.-(UP) today sought the hired as- sassin who carried out the three months old plot of wealthy farm er's wife and her lover. He killed Harry Dolbrow, 35, so they might reclaim lost childhood love. Dol brow's body was discovered in his garage Saturday by neighbors searching at the request of his wife who said she feared her hus- band might have been the victim of a bandit.
 Wife Has Confessed
 Mrs. Margaret Dolbrow, 30, con- fessed to police last night that she and her childhood sweetheart, Nor man, Driscoll, 39. had plotted to kill her husband for two months. Confronted with her confession, Driscoll maintained his innocence. Driscoll is married. Mrs. Dolbrow said he had planned to divorce his wife. Driscoll and Mrs. Dolbrow were arrested yesterday following disclosures made by Wilvert Drum mond, a farm hand of the dead man. He told detectives Driscoll had offered him $50 to kill Dol brow three months ago.
 Saw Crime Committed
 Drummond said he saw a man run from the bushes and beat Dol brow over the head with a pipe. He said another man then appear ed and after going into the house, returned and drove away with the killer. Mrs Dolbrow's confession substantially corroborated this statement. She said she had gone into the house first and listened to the attack on her husband. She said Driscoll then came in and got $25 from her to give to an ..'unex- pected witness" Norman and I loved each other when we were children" she sobbed, "and though both of us married others, we still loved each other"

At the present time there are four active cases in the city and the patients have been adequately isolated. The quarantine on the Waterbury Day nursery is still in effect end the health department IS keeping an alert watch on the chill dren there so as to detect any out break of the disease.
