..-..-------~>---~------4~--- --s that Evancho was guilty of "gross and criminal negligence" in con- rection with Sweeney's death. Sweeney was killed when struck by an automobile on South Main street near City Corners and tossed on to the nearby trolley tracks. A few minutes later he was run over by a northbound trolley car and .decapitated. It is not known whether death resulted, from Sweeney's being hit by the auto or by the trolley car.
 The finding charged that after Eyancho's car hit Sweeney, the Union City youth drove past truck, went a considerable distance and stopped, after which he went back to find Sweeney's body lying on the tracks. Then, says the find- ing, he went back to hfs car to sit down, not having made any effort to move the body. Tie Waterbury bound trolley car came along a few minutes later and struck Sweeney as he lay across the tracks.
 No Effort at Identity
 While police and doctors were at the scene. the coroner claims, Evancho made no effort to identify himself as the driver of the car which hit Sweeney. Instead, after another while, he drove into Wa terDury and made several visits with friends.

 The governors nomination calls for the elevation of Judge Allyn l.. Brown of Norwich to the supreme court bench. He also renominated Justice John W. Banks of Bridge port for the supreme court bench and renominated Judges Carl Fos- ter of Bridgeport and John Rufus Booth of New Haven for the su- perior court bench posts they now occupy.
 Successors Named
 Executive Secretary Wynne would succeed Judge Allyn l.. Brown on the superior court bench. Judge Quinlan, would take the place of Judge Frederick M. Peas- ley of Cheshire who retires on Feb- ruary Q, 1936, when he reaches the age limit of 70 years. Judge Brown will succeed Justice Frank D. Haines on June 18th, 1886, when the latter reaches the 70-year age limit.
 The fact that Governor Cross has nominated his two choices for the superior court bench in antici- patton of coming vacancies does not eliminate the other candidates for the posts. In fact, 1t Is claimed by some that the governor named his men prematurely. Their terms will not start until 1936. He was not required to make any nomina- tions this year, possibly, as all po- sitions on both court benches hold until 1936, which will be the recess year.
 It is possible that the "old guard, which has been ignored by the governors early nominations, will take steps to have the confir- nation of the nominees slowed up until an understanding can be had.
