HEARD IN BUS TRAGEDY Judge Wynne to Hear Tes- timOny of Doctors
 Next Week

With the exception of further med- ical testimony to be offered by two doctors, evidence in the $25G su- perior court civil action of Anne Reed of West Cheshire against the Connecticut company is completed. Judge Kenneth Wynne presided at the trial which started yesterday morning. The two doctors will be examined early next week.
 Miss Reed, who is a minor, brings suit through her father, Otto Reed, claiming permanent injuries as a result of the bus crash on the Cheshire road last September IT, which claimed five lives. She claims the driver of the bus was negligent in his manner of operation of the vehicle.
 Attorney William J. Larkin, de- fense counsel, explained to the court that his company was not question ing the claims of liability, and that the trial was only to determine the damages due Miss Reed. Ccro- ner John T. MonZani, in a lengthy finding filed after the crash, stated that there was no negligence in the operation of the bus and that the crash was caused by "a condition of the road" States Attorney Law renee L. Lewis later reviewed all the evidence in the matter and took no further steps, apparently upholding Coroner Monzanis finding. Attorney William K. Lawlor represents Miss 1 Reed.

Wynne commented, T will grant no order. It is not proper for superior court to arrange for a woman to walk out of a home." Judge Wynnc did grant her $50 alimony fees, how ever, which is to be paid on or be- fore trial day.
 Penalize
 The first opinion, in which Judge Wynne expressed the thought that the woman was trying to penalize her husband, was that in the case of Lillian Irving of Middlebury against Edward Irving of this city At hearing last week, defense counsel contended that the woman had left her husband and had taken with her bank book representing more than $2,200.
 The other case was that of Flora Mabel Dethlefsen against Frederick Dethlefsen. The defendant, in con- testing the payment of alimony, took the stand and exhibited state ments and accounts of his expenses and payment, item for item, since the institution of the divorce action by his wife, May 10. Mrs. Dethlefsen said that she had her husband ar- rested on one occasion for non-sup- port. MT. Detlefsen said that every dollar of his weekly wages went for his home. and exhibited grocery

statements, light bills, and other bills marked Paid"
 Attorney Edward J. Mascolo, ap- bearing for Dethlefsen termed Mrs. Dethlefsen's divorce complaint a mere whim, based on no good claim at all. MT. Dethlefsen said that in March his wife has asked him Would you like to share my love with somebody else?" The reason for his not wanting to pay alimony was that he could not afford a sep arate maintainence, especially in- view of the large sums he had spent for his home, and in addition he didn't have the money.
 Must Move First
 Mrs. Dethlefsen said she wanted $20 weekly to support herself and the children, so she could live apart from her husband. At the present time they live together, and she cooks him meals, but refuses to place the food on his plate, she said. "I'm afraid to live with him, '' she said, land I can't live without him. Why only recently I put screens in the windows throughout the house."
 Judge Wynne said that the intri- cacies of the law provided that ii Mrs. Dethlefsen wanted alimony pending trial of her action she would have to leave her husband first.

Wrangell Enjoys 4th
 Of July Celebration

If noise is an indication Of a good celebration. WEangell had a joyous one. The boom and bang of lire crackers and other noise makers be- gan early in the morning, covered several days time and extended far into each night Fireworks made an appearance on the last two nights and there was evidence that small boys and big ones, too, had a good Fourth of July. And for the girls. there were new dresses, balloons and noise, too, if that were necessary to their happiness.
 The Fourth made itself evident when the street flags were placed, and was in full swing by Saturday night when the big Legion dance was held in the A. N. B. hall. On Sunday. the day was observed with patriotic services in churches. Sey- eral outing parties took advantage of the double holiday to leave town for a brief vacation after a strenu ous week. The day was cloudy but the committees in charge of the next days celebration still hoped for good weather.
 No rain fell Monday morning and the fish pond arranged by the Civic Club did a good business. The child ren's parade was scheduled for 1;30 but was somewhat delayed by the con stant arrival of more costumed child ren and before the march began, a drizzle had set in that foreshadow- ed a rainy afternoon. Led by Dickie Stokes as bugler the parade was en- joyed by a large crowd of townspeo- pie. The costumes were clever, at tractive and amusing and several vehicles had been decorated for the occasion. Two small goats leaped gaily about The tiniest marcher was Margaret Jean Cole in an old-fash- toned costume with pantalets. The Dolan twins made their first appear, ance in a parade, comfortably seat, ed in a decorated buggy. Far in the rear, Joan Engdahl refused to be hurried and marched sedately on- ward in a dressed-up-lady costume. Before the parade returned to the
