PHYSICIAN HURT, TRIAL ADJOURNS
Gurski Testimony Nears End; Accused Denies
 Rape Allegation

Iitchfield, Oct. 15-Trial of Peter Gurski, 25, of Terryville, on 8 first degree murder charge was halted shortly after the luncheon recess Wednesday when the defense in- formed Superior Court Judge Wl- liam H. Comley that an arm in jury suffered by Torrington phy- sician in a fall earlier in the day made it impossible for this witness to appear. An adjournment was taken, without objection by the state, to this morning. The phy- sician was not otherwise identified.
 It was indicated that the physi- clan would be one of the last wit nesses for the defense and that the defense case may be completed be- fore noon today. The state is ex- pected to present its rebuttal testi- mony after the defense rests.
 Gurski completed his direct testi- mony during a half hour on the stand after opening of court We'd nesday. He denied again that he saw "any woman" on the night of June 30 or early morning of July 1. This was the night of the murder of Nellie Bourke, 66, former Thom- aston school teacher, who was found strangled and raped on a wood road of the Terryville- -Thomaston high way.
 "Did you follow this woman that night" Public Defender J. Clinton Roraback asked.
 T did not" Gurski responded.
 Did you take the woman into the woods?"
 Did you rape this woman?"
 q did not''
 "Did you murder this woman?"
 "I did not" Gurski replied, re- maining emphatic in each repeated statement that he "did not"
 On cross examination by States Attorney William H. Blodgett, Cur ski said, in regard to comb state police had shown him while he was in the county jail. "They showed me a comb but I could not see the color of it." According to testimony pre- sented by the state, the comb had been found at the scene of the mur- der and had later been identified by Gurski as belonging to him.
 Asked by the states attorney why he had signed a statement admit ting the comb was his, Gursh re- piled, T don't know why. was all nerved up. I signed it because if I hadn't they'd have threatened me-"
 Continuing under cross examina- tion Gurski reiterated testimony he gave Tuesday that he drank beer after halting on a wood path lead ing from Terryville to his home, and was asked by the states attor- ney: Did you hear woman scream for help on the wood road"
 "No," replied Gurski. ''The path I was on is a long way from the woods road"
 Gurski replied in the affirmative to a question, Were you drunk June 30, right after midnight?"

 The entire east of "This is the Army" as you probably read, were the dinner guests the other sundown of President and Mrs. Roosevelt. As the actor-sold marched onto the White House grounds, which are be- ing torn up here and there for iHn- provefnents, they had to detour around some of the debris.

 Eddie Davis, the Leon & Eddie's star, tells about the gal whose phone rang promptly at every a. m. for week. A drunk would hiccough: "Ish Joe there?"
 In exasperation, she hung up each time, and finally decided to wait up for it the next 3 a. m. and let him have it. Sure enough, promptly at 3, the drunk phoned: "Ish Joe there?"
 Look, you!" she beloved. You've got the wrong number. This is the crazy house for very wild womcn!"
 "Well," said the drunk, "Ish Joe there?"
 Bennett Cerf, the publisher, re- ports this overheard repartee:

 Some of the stay-up-lates were toying with words last night. Bea Bailey of the Versailles show fashioned sentence containing Guatemala like this: Here today and Guatemala"

 Another remarked the best he ever heard was George s. Kaufman's sentence containing meretricious, to wit: "Meretricious and a Happy New Year!"
 Which was topped by Allan Meltzer, who punned with Shostako- witch, viz: "Shostakovitch small by a waterfall"

From time to time a jet of yellow
flame rose in her innards. Smoke
dl1fted upward, lazily, thin, blue

burning wood and oil in the air.
Some metal arms, twisted and bent,
Jutted out from the sides. They
