SUPREME COURT
Gets TWO CASES
Waterbury Trials Ready
for April Assignments;
Grill Fight Basis of One

Two local court cases have been
printed and are ready for assign
ment for the April term of the State
Supreme Court of 0~rorS in Hart
ford, according to next months
docket released today. Another Wa
terbury case also has been listed on
the docket but since it has not been
printed a hearing in all likelihood
will not take place until later in
the spring.
The cases ready for hearings are:
Charles Laffin of Hartford against
Nicholas Apalucci, Thomas Lucian,
and Domenic Sacco, all of Water
bury; and Frank Brito against the
City of Waterbury. Assignment will
be made Wednesday morning. The
other local case listed is that of JOS
eph Margaret of Waterbury against
Mary Santa Marie, also of this CITY,
A hearing of the Latin case was
once previously conducted in the
higher court. The first appeal was
made by the defendants after a
common pleas court jury returned a
$2,250 verdict for the Hartford man.
An error was found by the supreme
court and the case was returned for
another trial. The second local
hearing resulted in judgment for
the defendants by Judge Thomas j..
Wall. The second appeal then was
filed by the plaintiff.
Injuries allegedly received Nov.
Is, 1910, are the basis of the suit.
The plaintiff claims he was struck
by a bartender, Domenic Sacco, at
the Legion grill on North Main
street, owned by the other defend
ants.
Frank Brito's case was instituted
Originally as an appeal from rul-
irg of the board of assessors. The
plaintiff claimed his property at
River and Baldwin streets decreased
in value after the city widened the
street and changed the grade of the
pavement in building the new Bald
win street bridge. A Judgment for
the city was returned by Judge Ed
ward j. DAILY in superior court.
The appeal in the Magaraci case
Is based on a $12.500 jury verdict
returned for Joseph Magaraci. The
boy claimed he lost portion of his
right hand and sustained severe in
juries to his left hand when dyna-
mite cap he picked up on the de-
PENDANTS property exploded. The
cap was removed from premises at
4O6 Walnut street and burst when
the boy pricked it with pin while
standing in the pantry of his own
home.

At DR.. John SAITH

Hartford, Conn.,, March 81
(UP)-The General Assembly
was in a week lend recess today
until next Tuesday, when the
18th week Of the wartime ses-
sion will open.
Business Of the Legislature,
which has been at a low level
for some time, was expected to

port on a bill increasing the
salary Of the wOrkmen's COM
pensatiOn commissioners from
| $500 to $4,000 annually, and
providing that the posts be fall
time, with no side employment
permitted.
This provision apparently
was aimed at DIR. G. John SAITH,
commissioner in the New Lon
don area, who has been con-
Quoting his practice while serv-
ing in his official post.
The committee also voted a
favorable report on a bill grant,
ing the state highway safety

tiOnaI campaigns In factories,

PRICES UP OVER
CEILING LIMITS
Food Retailers Claim 'Spe-

Is the excuse local food retailers give
customers for soaring prices over
original OPA ceiling limitations, it
has been called to the attention of
The Democrat. Very few allowable

OPA food division In Hartford re-
ports, and observers believe some
such merchants claims are DELHI
crate attempts to cover up profit
schemes and violations, reported to
be increasingly prevalent here.
Two local food market operators,
when approached by an unofficial
investigator for an explanation of
discrepancies between prices at the
store and those listed at the ration
board, said the commodities were
on the allowable increase" list,
which, as they know, has not been
publicly posted Asked why the "al-
lowed" changes have not been list
ed at the ration board they replied
ut isn't necessary II the government
allows the increase" an explanation
sharply denied by the OPA,
An Official of the food division in
Hartford said all changes in price
must be entered on ceiling price
lists kept both at the store and at
the ration board headquarters, and
reasons for the changes must be
given.
Oyercharges were noted on items
such as tomato juice, peas, corn and
coffee, none OF which Is entered on
the OPA allowable increase" list
None of the changes was listed on
the ceiling price schedule at the
ration board, as required by the
OPA,
The ceiling prices lists should be
available for examination by GUS
toners at all establishments, an
OPA spokesman stated, but local
customers have found access to some
lists only through bold insistence, 1t
has been reported.
"Allowables increase" items are
mainly canned fruit. Canned fish
and meat, maple syrup, certain
candles, Shortcomings, and cereals
are other items which may be In

YET TO TESTIFY
Prosecution at COCOanut
Grove MansIaughter
Trial Resumes

Boston, March 27.-(UP)-The
prosecution at the Cocoanut Grove
manslaughter trial today continued
its efforts to establish that the wir-
ing at the fire-wrecked night club
violated both the standard for good
practice" and the fire commission
erS' code.
Barnett Welansky, club owner, his
brother, James, and Wine Steward
Jacob Goldfine have been on trial
two weeks, charged with response
bility for the holocaust in which
491 persons persisted last Novem-
Der %. Nearly $50 witnesses remain
to be heard.
Yesterday Superior Judge Joseph
L. Hurley and the jury heard Carl
ton c. Witherell of Brighton, eXecu-
tive secretary of the state board of
examiners of electricians testify
that in seven inspections last De-
cember he found little to escape
"censure" in the Groves wiring.
With wire conditions as they were,
he said, cit is hard to understand
why they haven't had fires before"
Except for two installations, With
erell said, everything was wrong
with the wiring in the melody
lounge, where the fire repeatedly
started.
More than four hours of testi-
mony and croSs-eXamination failed
to shake his statement that the wiz
ing was not installed according to
"the usual good electrical prac-
tice."
Witherell enumerated 10 examples
of in;perfections he discovered in
the Groves wiring.
Ensign william T. Connery of
Dubuque, Ia, a Harvard naval
training student and guest at the
Grove, testified that within two
minutes after he first observed the
fire in the melody lounge, the whole
room was in flames. He estimated
that 80 persons were in the room
at the time.
Beating out the flames in his hair,
Connery went to the kitchen.
II saw a door and went into it.
