Litchfield, Oct. 9.-Captain John c. Kelly of the State Police, chief witness yesterday at the first de- gree murder trial of Peter Gurskl, 25, of Terryville in connection with the rape-slaying of Nellie Bourke, 66, of Thomaston, flatly denied an allegation by Gurski that the cap tain had ever been presented to him as my state defender.
 Captain Kelly told the court and jury that before he talked with Gurski and obtained 8 statement from him, the defendant was plainly informed that Kelly was a captain of the State Police.
 During the afternoon session of the trial the captain testified that Gurski had told him verbally his story of the night of the staying as follows:
 Gurski said he was walking along Main street in Terryville on the night of June 30, when a woman, stout and wearing black coat, spoke to him and asked him if the bus for Thomaston had gone. He answered and started walking away. She caught up with him and they walked together toward Plymouth ard Thomaston and talked.
 Near Duff's gasoline filling sta- ton she went ahead of him and he endeavored to catch up. He overlook her and grabbed her and she screamed. He said, the captain con- tinued, that he half carried her to the wood road leading off the main highway. He placed her on the ground. Gurski was quoted as say ing, and "she screamed so they could hear her all over Terryville. 2 He said he placed his hand over her mouth, the captain continued, and violated her, and that later she sat up.
 Then Gurski left her and went back toward Terryville, going to his home but while there he claim - he heard strange noise and jumped out the window, Captain Kelly said. He then went to his uncle's home and asked to sleep there. Later the officers came there and took him into custody.
 For narly three hours of the trial, with the jury excused Judge William H. Comley listened to tes- timony by Gurski and by all those said to have been present when a statement was made and signed by him. This was the written docu- ment and objection to it's admission had been raised by defense coun- sel. It was testified by state witt nesses that it was made voluntarily by Gurski and signed by him with out promise or threat. The verbal statement on which Capt. Kelly re- ported later in the day with the jury present was one which he said Gurski with the defendant.
 Gurski testified with regard to the signed statement that police men who questioned him threatened to beat him, swore at him and "nagged" him, and he also declared that when Captain Kelly came into the room he was represented as my state defender"
 After listening to the testimony of all concerned with the statement,

ing to rich, elderly ladies.
 One of these gave him the chance to meet some of Germany,s leading industrialists. Terboven seized this opening, and was largely 1lstfa- mental in lining up for Hitler hnan- cial support of industrial biz shots, including such as Krupp, ThHssen, Kirdorf and wolff. This did Ter bowen no harm with Hitler, andsthe Fuehrer and the Gigolo, literally. became thick as thieves.
 SOON BECAME
 A WEALTHY MAN
 Terboven went up the ladder, in power and riches, and, with the parvenus love for pomp, widowed in luxury and hcentiousness. He has magnificent villa in Essen, a palatial residence in Coblenz and 8 large apartment house in Berlin.
 It was with habits grown more absolute and manners more over bearing, that he took over in oc- cupied Norway. Wherever he lived, wild orgies took place, without the slightest regard for his Norwegian peighbors.
 On New Years Day, 1922, Oslo was overjoyed when runors spread that he had been killed during the nights reyels. Someone reported having seen Terbovens body car- ried from the Grand Hotel after the year-end orgy. But joy turned to gloom when Norwegians learned that the Reich commissioner wasn't dead, but merely dead drunk.
 Norwegians say he will be lucky to die in good time, as did Reinhard Heydrich, Na1 scourge of Czecho- slovakia, before Allied victory brings the hangman's moose.

 ton; Waterburian Nun

It was announced in the current issue of the Catholic Transcript that the first permanent convent in this state of the nuns of the Missionary Order of the Blessed Trinity will be established soon in Southington. Rev. William H. Kennedy, pastor of St. Thomas church there has made this announcement. These nuns have not previously had a perma- nent convent in the Hartford dio- cese although they have been con- ducting Camp Trinita for girls near New Hartford for number of years. Previous to the opening of the summer camp the New Hart ford place was retreat house for the sisters.
 The Missionary Servants of tine Blessed Trinity was founded by the Very Rev. Thomas A. Judge, c. M., in Alabama, and the order is now established in B dioceSeS in this country. They are also located in Porto Rico. They have in all 40 con- vents and 130 mission centers. This American community of sisters was established to work for the preser- vation of the faith in neglected mis- sion fields.
 The members do not wear veils, but a tailored black dress. The con- vent which will soon be opened in Southington is on Eden Place, the property left to St. Thomas parish by the late Rev. William J. Doo- Ian. Members of the order will ar- rive about October IS.
 Among the members of the order is Sister Lucy, who was Miss Mar garet Coughlan of this city. sister of Mrs. Thomas Kilmartin, Mrs. Patrick Healey and Miss Anna J. Coughlan. Another well-known Wa terbury member was the late Miss Margaret Higgins, sister of Mrs. Ta~Ms~ta AHNFatNv1iaQ

 New York, Oct. 9-Norway boils with revolt i. martial law is de- clared !. innocent hostages are led to the slaughter .. youthful, good-looking, blond-haired, black hearted Reichskommissar Joseph Terboven and the Nazi Gestapo have taken over, trying with whip and club to soothe the seething unrest.
 To great extent, the Nazs can thank Herr Terbzoven for their troubles in Norway. Listen to him speaking, just year ago, at Oslo:
 "It Is . matter of indifference to Germany if some thousands or perhaps tens of thousands of Norwegian men, women apd chil- dren Starve and freeze to death during this winter"
 ATTAINS AMBITION
 AS NORWAY'S BOSS
 Such 3 political philosophy is not calculated to help pacify a fiercely nberty-loving people like the Norwegians. Yet this callous attitude was not out of line with the character-signpoSts along the sordid road of Terboven's past.
 Germany's treacherous attack on Norway fulfilled 8 erboven's long, ing for power in a foreign satrapy. On April 21, 1940, Hitler appointed him Reich commissioner for occu- pied Norway, succeeding the Morse traitor, Major Vidkun Quisling. Terboven established his headquar- ters at the Eidsvold Gallery. His private office, with windows looking out on Oslos busy main street, was furnished in accordance with Mus solini's (and later, Hitler's) rule for overawing visitors.
