Mary Cukras of Torrinston, James Maxwell of 1922 Thomaston avenue, Bernard O'Rourke of 29 Chapel street, and Edward and Thomas Phalen of 7S Beech street.
 CorOncr's Finding
 The finding follows, in part: On the night of August '24th, 1885 shortly after eight thirty o'clock Mrs. Mary l.. O'Rourke was crossing Thom- aston avenue in Waterville from the easterly to the west crly side of the road at point almost opposite Burns Tavern, {; and at this time one Joseph Buzinskas, of 216 Pearl Street, Torrington, approached from the north, operating 1880 Graham Sedan. Buzinskas was a properly licensed driver, and his motor vehicle was reg istered in accordance with the laws of Connecticut. When he saw Mrs. O'Rourke in the ' highway, he applied his brakes, turned to the left. Mrs. ,O'Rourket continued to cross the street and was struck by the right front part of the car and thrown violently to the t pavement, sustaining such se- verc injuries that she died shortly afterwards. This high way Is heavily travelled, and from the evidence 1 can not find that BuziDskas was opcr- ating his car In such q gross ly careless manner or In such disregard of the safety of per- sons using the highway sas to be chargeable with criminal negligence. '
 l find, therefore, that the death of the said Mary E. O'Rourke was due to fracture of all the ribs on the right side of the body, fractures of the right humerus, radius and ulna, the right fibula and tibia, lacerations about the head and internal injuries sus- tained in the manner above set forth, and that said death was not due to the criminal neg ligcnce of the said Joseph Bu- zinskas.

PRIEST IS HELD
FOR TREASON

BERLIN, Nov. % (U.SJ-The
Rev. Banasch. Catholic priest
and adviser to Bishop Count Prey
sing, was locked in Moabit Prison
today on a charge Of high trea,
son, it was learned from private
sources.
1t was understood Banasch
probably will be tried by the
dread Peoples Court. which has
power to impose the death SEN
tence in cases of treason. He was
arrested Saturday night when Sc
cret police raided the bishops pal
ace. searched the administrati N
offices and seized documents.
The secret police alleged that
Banasch was ordered by Cardinal
Bertram, of Breslau, to collect
material about the disputes be-
tween church officials and NaZi
authorities.
This material, the police
charged, was turned over to the
papal nuncio in Berlin. Cardinal
Bertram intends to inform the
state that he assumes all blame,
because the Rev. BanaSch acted
only on his orders.
