 The accident took the lives of Ro- bert Roberts, II and Virginia Ro- berts, IA, of Meriden road, and Ed mund Boulanger, g, of Lewis ave- nue, Wolcott. Three other chil- dren were injured: Claire Boulan- ger, 13; Arthur Boulanger, 10; and Mary Rose McKenna, 13, of Mer- iden road. Degnan was seriously hNrt, while a passenger in his car, Miss Esther Brevee, 27, of Naug- atuck, was less seriously injured.
 Three Courts
 A warrant charging Degnan with automobile homicide will be issued, but will not be served until Degnan can face arraignment. The warrant will list three counts, the death of each of the three children being listed as a homicide.
 In the finding, Deputy Coroner Smyth says that Degnan met Miss Brevee in an East Main street res- taurant a few hours before the tragedy, after having driven his wife to Waterbury hospital, where she was employed as a nurse. After having a glass of beer, the finding says the two drove to a Hitchcock lake restaurant. There, according to Degnan's testimony, they had two highballs each. This was denied by restaurant employees.
 Deputy Coroner Smyth says that even if Degnan's claim that he was blinded by the lights of an ap- preaching car is true, he should have lessened the speed of his car. The physical facts, he says, "indi- cate that the car was being oper- ated at high and dangerous speed before it left the highway"

 Deputy Coroner Smyth says in his finding: ....
 "On the night of January 19, 1888, at about g o'clock, the three deceased, Virginia Roberts, IA, her brother, Robert Roberts, II, and Ed- mund Boulanger, 8, together with Claire Boulanger 13, Mary Mo- Kenna, 13, and Arthur Boulanger, 10, were standing near a stone cul- vert about 10 feet from the westerly side of the Meriden road at the junction of said Meirden road, Fen ton avenue and Todd road, in the town of Wolcott. The Meriden road for about 800 feet northerly of the Todd road descends southerly in a long grade, and for about 700 feet southerly of the Todd road curves very slightly to the left. There is nothing along this stretch of high way in either direction from the Todd road to obscure the vision of a traveller thereon. The Meriden road was dry and clear of all ice and snow. The travelled portion of the highway was 20 feet wide, with a seven foot shoulder on the vest erly side and five foot six inch shoulder on the easterly side. These shoulders were hard and practically clear of ice and snow, allowing the operator of car travelling south erly IT feet within which to oper- ate his car safely on his own side of the road.

 "The children had been sliding in the driveway of the Roberts home located nearby and were standing near the culvert, well off the shoulder of the road. They were about ready to go to their respective homes in the immediate vicinity.
 At this time Frank Degnan, a properly licensed operator of mo- tor vehicles, was driving his own 1885 Plymouth coupe southerly down grade on the Meriden road. His car suddenly left the main highway, grazed a large maple tree standing on the side of the road, and struck into and through a group of children with great force, scattering them like chaff.
