 Not Like Move
(Bv The Associated Press)

LONDON, Dec. 14, - The Arch bishop of Canterbury castigated the "social circle, in which for mer King Edward VIII moved, in broadcast at the close of a dreary, rainy Sunday, bidding farewell to the old king and well coming the new.
 Strange it must be that for such a motive however strongly it was pressed upon his heart, he should have disappointed hopes so high and abandoned trust so great. Even more strange it is that he should have sought his happiness in a manner inconsist- ent with the Christian principles of marriage, within a social circ- le whose standards and ways of life are alien to all the best in- stincts and traditions of his peo- ple", said the Archbishop.
 The head of the Church of castigation of Edwards social circle, was interpreted as a reference tos the socalled fast international set" with which Ed ward delighted to fraternize and which includes several wealthy American women who have wed members of the British nobility.

 Paid Doctor $6O Fee
 The accused, he said, drove the Silva girl to Waterbury on two occasions and paid Dr. Petrocelli 8 fee of $50 for the alleged crim- inal operation. Dr. Petrocelli is now free on bonds of $10,000, pend- ing an appeal to the state supreme court of errors from the superior court jury verdict which found him guilty of manslaughter several weeks ago.
 Wanted to Help Girl
 Laveri, said the assistant states attorney, thought he was trying to "help out" the girl, though he was not responsible for her condition. He first took the girl to a doctor in Hartford, Attorney Fitzgerald said, and the doctor refused to perform the operation, after which he took her to Middletown. A doctor there also refused to perform the opera ton, the assistant states attorney said, but recommended Dr. Petro- celli.
 Laverl has been free on bonds since he was arrested early last month on a bench warrant. He did not testify at pr. Petrocclli's trial.
 Attorney IT. Roger Jones or New Hartford appeared for Laveri. The fine was imposed without costs.
