 on Section 1088c of the Cumulative Supplement to the General Statutes, enacted in 1883, which is titled, Liquor seller liable for damage by intoxicated person." The. law con- tinues, If any person, by himself or his agent shall sell any alcoholic liquor to an intoxicated person, and such. purchaser in consequence of such intoxication, shall thereafter injure the person or property of another, such seller shall pay just damages to the person injuried, to be recovered in an action under this section.
 No Crime Specification
 Since Maxwell entered plea of not guilty, waived examination, and wes bound over from the city court, March 12, on a charge of murder, the public has awaited with inter- est an announcement from States Attorney Lawrence L. Lewis, whether or not he would call a grand jury and attempt to indict Maxwell on a murder charge for trlal in superior court. No an- nvincement has as yet been made, and 1t is considered authentic that when Maxwell appears in superior court during the April term 1t will be on charge of manslaughter.
 Special Defense
 preparations for special defense to the $l0,O00 civil actions brought against Aimel T. Bruneau by the estate of the late Harry B. Watts were underway today by Attorney James M. Lynch, who represents Bruneau in his numerous recent liti- gatiolls.
 Attorney Lynch stated today that he will work out an angle on the liquor statute that allows the sale of liquor until 12 o'clock, and then the seemingly conflicting law which states that there shall be no trace of liquor, glasses or accessories on tables after the midnight curfew.
 Opinion of Attorney
 Attorney Lynch stated that in his opinion, ''the law that permits a liquor dispenser to sell liquor until 12 o'clock, also permits a buyer to drink that liquor after 12 o'clock.
 Numerous attorneys were of the opinion today that the suit would bring to light numerous flaws in the liquor laws. Should 1t be carried to the supreme court of errors some even more startling developments might even be introduced.

MATTATUCK CLUB
 PROPERTY SOLD

 ative to the possibility of the fore- men taking over the property, which brought the reply that an of- fer was made to the Mattatuck Country club directors for the prop erty which was turned down, be- cause 1t was not considered high enough. The offer was believed to be from $20,O00 to $23,000. Follow ing that, MT. Strohacker said the Foremen's association twas no long CT interested"
 Since that time and within recent weeks, the Mattatuck directors were believed to be ready to continue op- eration of the course and clubhouse on lease basis, pending the com- pletion of a deal with the state banking department, which also had a plan, the Democrat was told, for dividing the property into building lost and putting on real estate de- velopment of mammoth proportions. Apparently both plans have fallen through, what with the reported of- fer successfully completed by the Chase companies group.
 Development Uncertain
 Just how much development of the course and surrounding property will be made by the new owners is uncertain at this time. At one time, a report was strong that the asso- citation might also go as far as to make! a deal for the Fritzi Scheff property on Hitchcock lake, which has been in litigation for five years. If that came about, the idea was to build a clubhouse on the lake, and have adjacent tennis courts and provide a center of outdoor recrea- tion for association members and their guests that would be second to none in the state, where swim ming, tennis and golf, bridge and dinner dances could be enjoyed dur- ing the proper seasons of the year.
 Ed. Farley Is Mentioned
 As to the professional" at the club under the new owners, the log ical selection will be Ed Farley, for mer Mattatuck Country club golf champion and member who Is in charge of recreation activities for the Chase companies, unless, of course, the association decided to hire an outside" professional, which is doubtful, due to the added ex- penSe.
 Relative to the status of last sea- sons members of the Mattatuck club, it is believed that many of them will be allowed to continue playing the course under the new set-up, which may assume the pro- portions of semi-private club, golf CTS not members of the Chase Fore mems association to use the prop erty as paying guests" of the asso- citation or its members.

"The only sound came from the other plane. Seeing that ship com ing down with no sound coming from it gave me an empty feeling"
 Jaspert drove immediately to the wreckage, where he aided in re- moving the bodies. He said he heard a sound "like a dynamo" in the front of the ship.
 Jacobs questioned Jaspert minutely after weather conditions. The at torney said there was hay atmos- phere, but that he could readily see a mile or possibly half mile" It was nearly dusk when the ship crashed, he added.

 Still in Custody
 Sti., in custody today, although police yesterday had announced his alibi was perfect, was Georges (Big Frenchy) Gueret, an unemployed chauffeur who had once roomed with the Gedeons and who had been l,oking for them the night of the r urders. A powerfully built man of 4C he insisted two bloodstained hs ldkerchiefs found in his room had been used to stop noSe-bleed- ing.

 Police stressed, however, that his account of his movements at the time of the crime was holding up against all attacks.
 Into Their Private Lives
 Detectives went deeply into the private life of the GedeonS, spurred by the belief of Joseph Gedeon, est~anged husband and father of the victims, that his pleasure-loving d tighter may have tantalized one (: her many suitors until, unbal- anced by jealousy, he was driven to commit the murders.
 Ronnie made fools of lots of .,n," he said. "One of them must have killed her with my wife and the roomer. It's hard to say now but Bonnie was wild and she was wilful. She wouldn't listen to her mother or to me.
 T didn't live at home. I hadn't for four or five years, so don't k ow all that was going on. But there have been many men. Ronnie dif mt tell me who they were be- cause she knew I disapproved of her life but I heard of some of them.

 What did you see, ottillia? Ja- cobS asked.

 Today he called at the East 5lst street police station. "just to keep in touch with developments"
 The investigation dveloped also that Mrs. Gedeon had operated at leas, two Speakeasies during prohi- bition times and detectives checked b ,ck over her activities to ascer- tain whether she might have made enemies. Miss Gedeon, according to the autopsy, was deeply under the influence of liquor when she was sl' n.
 Many Are Examined More than two score persons have been brought in for examina- t Jl. These included Stephen Butter, a Wall street runner, who was Miss Ciedeon's escort on the last night of h life. According to his story they sat on the stairway outside the apartment for about 10 or IS min utes, then he kissed her good night and she went in to her death. But ter said he heard no sound from t' apartment while he was on the stairs although the slayer was cer- tainly inside.
 From additional detail police again reconstructed the murders. Mrs. Gedeon, who retained youth- f'l attractiveness, was at home alone when the killer entered. Bruises on her knuckles indicated ske tried to hold him off but it was evident she took severe beating before she was choked to death.
