MRS. KRUGER
Court Bars Testimony
on Intimate Scene

LOS ANG ELES, Nov. 1s.
Charles Mcdonald, on trial for
murderous assault against Mrs.
Karl Kruger, wife of the famed
orchestra leader, testified here
that he witnessed an intimate
scene between his wife and Mrs.
Kreuger in the Kreuger home
last July.
In a voice that sank almost to
a whisper, the 29-year-old hus-
band told of following his creep
ing baby daughter into q bed.
room of Mrs. Krueger, for whom
Mrs. Mcdonald worked as a maid.
'HEARSAY' BARRED
The witness version Of the
conversation that followed was
barred by the court as hearsay,
but he told Of the difficulties
that followed.
It is McDonald's contention
that Mrs. Kreuger, now paralyzed
from the waist down as the re-
suit of the bullets he fired into
her body last August 10, "com-
pletely dominated" Frances, his
23-year-old wife.
He testified that on the morn
ing Of July 10, nine days after the
bedroom scene he described, he
awoke to find his wife had not
slept in his bed. He found her
later in the baby'S bedroom.
That noon, he went on, his wife
packed all his belongings and put
them on the back porch.
TOLD OF DIVORCE
He said he called at the Kruger
home several times and tried to
talk to Frances, and that on the
morning Of July % he was greeted
there with a summons in Sher
action for divorce.
During the entire session, ques-
ton after question dealing with
the relationship Of Mrs. McDon-
aid and Mrs. Kruger was asked,
with Judge Frank Smith refusing
to let the witness answer.
Among the questions were the
following: Did you ever discuss
with your wife the subject Of her
taking maps with Mrs. Kruger?
No answer allowed.
ALCOHOL RUBS
Did you ever discuss with your
wife the subject of her giving Mrs.
Krueger alcohol ruhs? No answer
allowed.
Did you ever discuss with your
wife the idea of having another
baby and the reasons for 1t? No
answer allowed.
Q.-What sort Of costume was
your wife wearing? A white

TORTURE VICTIM

Beaten and MutiIated
Baker Asserts

OLYMPIA, Wash, Nov. 1s
irving w. Baker, auto dealer and
former Coast Guard officer, yes
terday identified DR.. Kent w.
Berry, so. socialite physician, as
the leader of the four men who
kidnapped and tortured him the
night of August 10.
Dramatically, Baker told be-
fore a jammed court room h e
story Of his alleged abduction and
mistreatment.
CLIMAX OF CASE
His testimony was the climax of
the States case against DR.. Berry
and three alleged accompliceS, ac-
cused of kidnapping and torturing
Baker because DR.. Berry suspected
him of attacking young Mrs.
Berry.
Baker identified William Nc
Aloon and Robert Smith as the
two men who came to his house
late at night, posed as officers,
and took him away after show
ing a fake warrant charging him
with the assault on Mrs. Berry.
He said they forced him at gun
point into a car driven by James
Reddick. A block from the Ba-
ker home, he said, DR.. Berry en-
tered the car and hit him in the
face.
TAKEN TO WOODS
Berry was cursing and shout
ing!" Baker said. HE told me:
You attacked my wife and now
I'm going to make you pay for it! ="
He described the drive to lonely
gravel-pit in the woods. On the
way, he said, he struggled and got
his finger on the trigger OF Nc
Aloon's gun, but DR.. Berry beat
him over the head with a flashlight
till he lost consciousness.
At the gravel.pit, he said, they
dragged him from the car and tied
him up. Berry he said, told him
he intended to mutilate him.
"McAloon stood guard while
Berry kicked me-" Baker said.
"'You attacked my wife, he
kept shouting, And before we're
through you'll admit it!' I told him
/ hadn't done any such thing"
Baker said the doctors only
purpose seemed to be to make him
admit the assault on Mrs. Berry.
After they tired of beating
me-" he said, "they turned me
over on my back and Berry went
to his surgical kit and got a pair
Of shears Then he took pair
of pliers and tortured me with
them Then he kicked me in
the groin. I was only half con-
Scious now"
WIFE BREAKS DOWN
Mrs. Suzanne Baker, the vic
tins wife, began to sob as her
husband went on with his story,
speaking in a low voice.
II recall Reddick standing over
me with the flashlight and I saw
a surgical knife in the doctors
hand. Again and again he tried
to make me admit I had attacked
his wife, and I denied it as loudly
as I could.
"Then Berry told me: I'm going
back to town and attack your
Wife!'
"He threatened to mutilate me-
with TIE knife but Smith stopped
him. Then he put a gun at my
head and was going to kill me
but Smith kicked it away"
After an hours futile effort to
make him confess the alleged at
tack, the kidnapers drove away,
he said, leaving him bound and
gagged. He finally worked loose
and staggered to a farmhouse.

Some were more than 100 years old and highly prized. Trees fell across streets and highways, against houses and gar- ages and against light and telephone wires.
 Debris floating down the rivers today indicated the fury of the storm. There were large trees, por- tions of house roofs and sides of garages, and many pieces of furni- ture.
 Repair work proceeded today un- der bright sun that belied the in- tensity of last nights storm. Brooms and shovels were much in evidence as Waterbury sought to remove the traces of the mos devastating storm the city has experienced in many year.

 As the hurricane arrived yester- day afternoon to climax the un- precedented rainstorm, hundreds of persons were stranded in their places of work. Motorists could scarcely see out from their cars as the rain fell in binding sheets. Cars became stalled by the score as lakes formed at busy intersections.

[ MT. and Mrs. Thomas white
BY CHARLES CUTLER

Yesterdays storm of hurricane proportions caused a disruption in radio broadoasting service throughout New England, the Att lantic seaboard and the midwest, never before witnessed in the two- decade history of radio. Stations from Maine to Florida to Illinois found themselves blasted out of service by so and 70 mile per hour winds that tore broadcast ing towers from their seemingly impregnable moorings, carrying them in some instances a distance of miles.
 Tn Connecticut virtually every major station including WTIC, WDRC, WICC, WELL and WNBC were put out of service. The only station in the entire state that remained on the air throughout the storm was WATR, The Voice of Waterbury. The high-frequei1- cy station in Waterbury, VERY, was thrown of the air at the height of the hurricane.
 WATR presented special news bulletins throughout the afternoon and evening in cooperation with The Democrat, the Waterbury and state police departments, park de-i partment and the Connecticut. Light & Power company.
 In New York city the key sta-s tions of both the National and Columbia broadcasting systems, WEAF and WABC were put out of service, upsettiiig program schedules of beth networks from coast -c coast and throughout Canada.

William Dunphy and Paul Kun- kel, local druggists, reported that they had a narrowing trip home from a New England Druggists convention at Breton Woods, N. H. The pair arrived last night and reported that highways all along the route were blocked and strewn with wreckage. Fallen power lines, they said, added to the hazards.
 Despite the rain and wind, many taverns reported heavy bus mess last night. Crowds gathered in candle-lit establishments to sip beer and talk about the devastat- ing storm.
 A trip to Waterbury from New Haven, ordinarily only 8 jaunt was a nightmare to several local doctors yesterday afternoon. Re- turning from q meeting of the county medical association, the doctors found the highways cov- cred with water. To add to their woes, trees anc electric wires were down in many places.
 Several sections of the city were still without electric lights this morning. Repair crews of the Connecticut Light & Power Co. worked frantically all through the night seeking to restore service.
 Dozens, of streets were complete Iy blocked when large trees fell across the r0adways. Some of the trees were landmarks in their re- spective sections, but the wind and rain proved to be no respect CTS of age.
 Rotary signs and traffic stand. ards in every section of the city were blown away. Police today were trying to locate as many as possible and put them back in place.
