 JUDGES RULING
Qr. Reed Named in Civil Action By Anna
 Calvin

Judge Miles F. McNiff in a memo randum of decision filed in the court of common pleas this morning finds for the defendant in the case of Anna Calvin against Dr. Augustus Reed. The case was tried last week.
 The plaintiff alleged that as a re- suit of negligence on the part of Dr. Reed, who is a dentist, that she received an infected jaw and that she suffered much pain. It was her contention that Dr. Reed filled a tooth which she claims should have been extracted and that he filled the tooth in such manner that part of the filling passed through the root of the tooth and became embedded in her jaw.
 Judge McNiff finds that the ex- pert medical testimony in the case shows that such a thing was not possible and that Dr. Reed was not negligent.

FACTS VINDICATE
 LOCAL SHOE STORE

The Manning Armstrong shoe store located at 52 Bank street, this city, is not involved in bankruptcy proceedings recently recorded in New Haven, Published reports linked the well known local estab- lishment with the petition, but a checkup on the court records re- suited in the discovery of the error, which connected the local firms name with the first announcement.
 The confusion resulted from re- cent judgment of $10.000 with costs of $94.95 obtained against the Man. ming -Truitt company of Troy, N. Y., but this action has no relation to the Waterbury store, which has been prominent in business circles here since 1910.
