attorneys, was held on an open
charge today in connection with
the fatal shooting of noted
Capital psychiatrist while Mrs.
Miller, whom police described
as one corner of love triangle,
was near collapse.
The dead man was DR.. John
z. Lind. 81, a kin of Abraham
Lincoln, and senior medical Of
ficer at Washington's st. Eliz-
abeths Hospital. Police said

Both Miller and Lind had ap-
peared in Municipal Court yes

ney in a drunk driving case, and
Lind as an expert witness in
another case. Miller had been

ers opposing the OPA plan as

Arguing against the plan they

COP Organizations Selected Officials
 TOSuppOrtBaldwin

As a local supporting cast for Governor Raymond E. Baldwin and his state team seeking reelection, the Republican organizations in New London and Groton have selected a candidate for the state senate and four candidates for the house of representatives whom they believe merit the support of every workingman.
 The two towns selected John J. O'Connor as their nominee for the state senate. MT. OConnor was formerly proprietor of a successful gas station in New London and is now clerk of the police court in New London. He has been active in civic affairs over a period Of many years. He is veteran of the First World War. His wide experi- ence in dealing with people in private business and in his capa- city as clerk of the New London police court has given him keen understanding of what people want from their government. He is a friend of the working man.
 For the House of Representatives New London Republicans have selected Mrs. Harriet M Rogers and Hubert w. Ryan. Mrs. Rogers is a well known housewife with three daughters. She has been promin- ent in civic affairs and is now serving her second term as the only woman Selectman ever elected in New London. The fact that she is the first woman ever nominated for the legislature by the Republi- can party in New London is evil dence of the respect her party has for her ability.
 MT. Ryan is successful real estate and insurance man and was formerly employed for many years by the New Haven Railroad as an accountant He is veteran of the First World War and has served his city in various capacities, in- cluding several years in the city council.
 Groton Republicans have nomi- ated Thomas L. Hagerty and Benja- min l.. Null for the House of Rep resentatives. Both have served several years in the legislature in which capacity they have estab- lished enviable regulations.
 All of the Republican candidates are friendly to labor, they say.
