no longer enough for him.

He was very close to her now, but
she drew away quickly.

Puppy love. Ages ago."

Ariane - quick - before he comes -

Connecticut Supreme Court ap- peaIs of defendants in the Water bury municipal conspiracy trial will be heard Nov. 12 instead of October 22, as originally sched- uled. The court agreed to the postpOnement last night, and agreed also to '.rectify" the rec ord so that it will include the length of time the jury deliber- ated before returning verdicts of guilty.
 In regard to a motion of the defense to rectify the record so that it will include 8 reference to the hostility" of the crowds sur- rounding the courthouse during the trial, the court ruled that de- fense and state could file deposit tions by Nov. 12. Whether the claim will be made part of the record, will be determined after argument, the court said.
 The three motions were made by defense counsel Tuesday. Spe- cial Prosecutor Hugh AlcOrn Op- posed the motions to postpone and the motion to rectify the rec ord regarding the hostility" He made no objection to the motion to insert the "jury-time" into the record.
