DEMURRER RULING
 GIVEN BY JUDGE
$llO,OOO Damage Suit Against City of Water.
 bury to Be Assigned

Superior Court Judge John A. Cornell today handed down 8 deci- sion over-ruling the plaintiffs de- murrer in the $l10,00O civil action brought against the City of Water bury by Paul DeLaHunta, his wife Bessie. Edwin MacKeever, and his wife, Doris, all residents of Strat- ford. The litigation is based on in- juries sustained March 22, 1942 when a car in which the plaintiffs were riding struck traffic stand ard on Watertown avenue at the intersection of Robbins street.
 The demurrer was filed to a spe- cial defense of the city in which 1t claimed 1t could not be held res- ponsible for any negligent perform. ance in maintaining the stanchion because 1t was performing gov- ernmental duty. The plaintiffs claimed the stanchion created 8 nuisance and therefore the govern mental duty aspect did not apply tc the situation. Their claims were dis. missed by the jurist in the brief memorandum of decision filed ii7 the court.
 No indication has been made when the case will be assigned fol hearing. It has been on the court docket for morethan year.
 The plaintiffs claim the stanchior was an obstruction on the highway and that the driver could not sec 1t on the night of the accident be. cause of the rainy weather.

 Broderick replied that there's censorship in the tombs and every letter Lonergan writes winds up in the district attorneys office to be examined by MT. Grumet."
 Grumet denied the charge.

Victory Committee De. mands Resignation of
 Vernon Hall, J. UpsOn

The resignation of Town Chair. man Vernon L. Hall, J. Warren Up- son and other members of the Re- publican town committee was re- quested last night by members of the Republican Victory Commit ee" when a resolution asking for the resignation of the party leaders was adopted at 8 meeting last night at The Elton.
 Adopted also was the motion to meet next Monday night in anti cipation of the refusal of the lead- CTS to resign, at which time definite plans will be laid down for a prim- ary battle to elect town committee members more to the satisfaction of "the many Republican party ad- herents who are fed Il with their present leadership"
 In answering to accusations that his leadership was not of the best, J. Warren Upson last night address ed the gathering and said that no e. .lisation should be made that either he or any other party leader had "let down on the job" He add ed that if the group persisted in blaming him for he partys' failure he could do nothing but accept their cenSure.
 Leaders of the new group de- manded that some change in the top structure of the party take place now and insisted that the 'one-man rule" of the local c. o. P. should be abandoned. Charges were made that delegations to all the party'S conventions have been so hand.picked that many Worthier members had no say in the matter The general consensus was that mouse cleaning" must take place within the party immediately.

 Terrible Mistake
 ITO me this whole business is just a terrible mistake on your part and the consequences that may affect me and my family may be severe,' NoXon reputedly said.
 "I'm sorry destroyed the trouble cord Ca wire which the state charges he wrapped around the infants arm and plugged into a light socket in their $45, 900 mansion)"
 "If had suspected that this was going as 1t did, I would have insist ed that the medical-examiner take the cord with him. My first thought was to get doctor to sec If any thing could be done for the baby,' Noxon was quoted,
 That's why I didn't notify police. When the medical examiner left l assumed that was the end"
 Miss Bristol was concluding the reading of the conference transcript which she began yesterday.
 The socially prominent defend- ant said in the statement that the baby probably got his arm into a live wire and pulled 1t up to his chest" Medical examination re- vealed three burns on the child's left forearm around which, Noxon said, the wire was wrapped"
 Charges
 District Attorney Charles R. Al- berti charges that NoXon electro cuted his son by seating him on a metal tray and fastening bare wire to both arms.
 Medical witnesses previously had testified that the baby's muscular strength was not sufficient to enable him to become tangled in the wire.
 The prosecution also had con- tended that the burns could not have resulted in -four or five minutes while Noxon said he was in the family garage collecting tools to rec pair a radio.
 Pediatricians, who examined the child few weeks prior to his death, testified that if he were placed on his back, as Noxon contended, he probably would have remained there.
 Before the statement was read, William A. Whittlesey, vice president of the Western Massachusetts Elec- tric Go. testified that month be- fore the baby was electrocuted NoXon asked him about the possi- bility of fatal electric shocks from household appliances.
