United Press Stan Correspondent
 0roton, Conn, Oct. 16-(UP)-- Within the shadows of historic Fort 0riswold, scene Of the famous Rev. olutionary Battle of 0roton Heights, another skirmish was being fought unrelentlessly today.
 It involved the claims of Third District School Committeeman Dud- ley Brown, and Superintendent of Schools s. B. Butler, to the right to appoint e teacher for the little white two-room schoolhouse ct Center 0roton.
 What appeared as c peace inter- Jude, accustomed by an order of 0 special meeting of the board of edu- cation to close the school indefi- nitely until the dispute was settled, was brushed aside today as Brown announced his determination to re- open the schoolliouse Monday "ir- respective of orders"
 It was Brown who yesterday locked his appointee, Mrs. Hazel Bucklyn, in the third grade class room and defied Butler to install his choice, Miss Ellen Innis, in her place. Both teachers had been con- ducting the same class since school opened Sept. 2, although the town counsel upheld tho appointive rights of Butler and declared only one would be paid.
 Brown, in possession of the only set of keys to the schoolhorSe, rec fused to give them Up and turned

WOMAN RODE
 WITH MURDERER
Sheriff's Office Recon. structs Weird Three.
 State Ride

South Paris, Me-, Oct. l6.-(UP)- With her husbands slayer at the wheel and her husbands body, un- known to her, in the automobiles trunk, Mrs. J. c. Littlefield rode 370 miles through three New England states before being slain herself, the sheriff's office revealed here to- day.
 Local authorities pieced together this fantastic version of tf' crime after the killer l8-year-old Paul Dwyer, part-time chauffeur, had been arrested today at North Arlington, N. J., with the bodies of Mrs. Littlefield and her physician husband in the car.
 Sidney Verrill, a sheriff's office at- tache, said the robbery motivated the doctors murder and that the yout!. apparently slew the woman in sheer desperation, next day, lest she discover the earlier crime.
 After killing the doctor, @ coun- try practitioner for 30 years who lately had been living in semi-re- tirement, Dwyer stuffed the body into the automobile trunk. Then, picking Up Mrs. Littlefield aS a paS- sengcr, he drove from South Paris to Portland to Boston to Concord N. H., to Portland and back to South Paris.
 Here, 1t was believed, he killed the woman, and with her body in the tonneau and her husbands still in the trunk. he drove to New Jersey where his crimes were revealed.
 Sheriff P. r. Francis of oxford county and County-Attorney Robert Smith of South Paris left for the ramshackle Dwyer homestead or Paris Hill, opposite Paris Hill Coun- try club. There, 1t was believed, Dr. Littlefield was slain Wednesday night.
 Verrill discovered that Dwyer and Dr. Littleheld last were seen to- gethcr in South Paris drugstore Wednesday afternoon.
 They evidently had met by chance he said, and chatted briefly. It was theorized that Dwyer, at that time. lured pr. Littlefeld to the Dwyer

If, as allegations of the Fusion candidates defeated iii October fifth's election maintain; there is 6 discrepancy between the totals shown by the voting machines and the totals of the tally sheets and iioderators' reports, there is nOtll. ing unusual about this difference, Such Is tho opinion Of City Clerk John P. Fitzfnaurice, who explained today how such discrepancies come about. a.I. qs ..y,
 'sThere is always c difference in the actual number of votes cast ard the number shown by the ma chimes" he contended. Reasons for this is that numbers of persona out of the more than 5S,0O0 voting doubtless either failed to vote cor- rectly or pulled down levers without really casting . vote"
