ILLICIT LOVE, LIQUOR LEAVE
 LASS 10 LAW
Major 5 Wife Held Crimin- ally Responsible for
 Sailor Staying

BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, June 29.-- Coroner Theodore E. Steiber today found Mrs. Imogene Stevens, 24, criminally responsible for the death by shooting of Albert Kovacs, 19, submarine sailor whom the Army Majors wife shot and killed in the home of a neighbor in New Canaan last Saturday night.
 The Coroner said that statements furnished by police indicated that Mrs. Stevens was under the in fluence of liquor and under a high emotional strain" when she fired three shots into the Norwalk youths body but asserted that "the intoxi- cated condition of Mrs. Stevens does not absolve her from a charge of manslaughter."
 From statements made to police by MT. and Mrs. Charles Milton. in whose home, adjoining that of the Stevens residence, the shooting occurred, it would appear, said Steiber, that "an illicit love had existed between Mrs. Stevens and MT. Milton which caused the Milton home to be broken up for a num- Der of months
 Steiber, expressing the 1olief it was more than a probability that scratches apparent on Mrs. Stevens after the shooting were inflicted by Mrs. Milton, said it must be in this aura of sex recrimination, beer and window smashing reprisals that we judge the acts and the emotional state of Mrs. Imogene Stevens just before the shooting"
 Mrs. Stevens, divorcee and mother of six-year-old daughter when she married Major R. Ralsey Stew ems, 3d, at Alliance, Nebraska, on Nov. 6, 1943. has been held in de- fault of s50,oOo bail on a charge of since the shooting.
