$15,356 AWARD TO MRS. GAESS
 DECLARED VOID

A judgment of $15,356.68 returned a year ago in super for court for Mrs. Yvonne Gaess of Waterbury in an action against the late Albert H. Gaess and Adam R. Much alight of Waterbury was re- scinded today by the State Supreme Court of Errors in Hartford, which ordered the lower court to return a judg- ment for the defendants.
 The high court ruled a trust fund set up four years ago by the two defendants and the late Roger W. Gaess, husband of the plaintiff, as stockholders of the Gaess Manu- featuring Company, must continue for IT more years, unless the sur viving party to the trust agree ment and the representatives of the estates of the other two agree by a majority vote to distribute the fund, now totaling more than $46,O 900.
 Equal Distribution Agreed
 The three men, all directors and officers of the manufacturing con- cern, made an agreement Feb. 3, 1941 for setting up funds to build or purchase a building suitable for the business of the corporation if for any reason it had to move from the premises it was occupying. They agreed that the money was to be distributed equally in the event the funds were not used for the intended purpose.
 Following the death of Roger Gaess the plaintiff, as administra- trix of the estate, brought the action to recover funds he had deposited. Albert Gaess, who had been trus- tee of the fund, died last Feb. g while the appeal to the Hartford court was pending.
 Chief Justice William H. Maltbie in the memorandum of decision states the plaintiff in the case had no right to put an end to the trust merely because she desired the distribution of the fund. "The right to vote in any matter con- cernn4g the fund would vest and continue in the executor or admin

TANKS MIL E BEYOND Y0NAbARU
WOMAN SEEKING TO |NvAL|DATE
 NEvADADECREE

Less than 48 hours after the U. s. Supreme Court ruled Reno divorces need not be recognized outside of Nevada, a former Waterbury woman today filed a civil action asking the local super for court to invalidate a divorce obtained by her ex- husband in the county of Washoe, Nevada in 1942.
 The petitioner is A d a Rochon Fortin, now of Mil ford, and the defendant is Merrill E. Fortin of Water bury, who married Irene Dauphanais Pixly of Water bury after obtaining the Reno decree.
 AS the result of request made by the plaintiff in the complaint, the defendant has been ordered by Judge John A. Cornell to appear in superior court Friday at 10 a. m. to show cause why an injunction should not be issued in regard to transfer of specified financial as- sets.
 In addition to asking that the di- vorce be nullified, the plaintiff makes several requests in regard to finances. One is for resumption of weekly support payments.
 Mrs Fortin No. l points out her husband started a divorce action against her in Waterbury in August, 194I, but withdrew it Sept. IS, 1922 aftor a hearing in which the court stated there was no ground for divorce. Three days later he filed an actionin the second judicial dis trict court of Nevada, her complaint states.
 The defendant claimed in his writ that he had been bone fide resi- dent there for six weeks, the plain tiff alleges The divorce summons was dated Sept, 21 ,1942, she states.
 The cOmplalnlng woman states the residence was ''colorable" and that the action was filed there mere ly for the purpose of invoking the jurisdiction and getting a divorce decree "he was unable to get under Connecticut law" She alleges the divorce was sought so the defendant could marry his present wife.
 I1Ortiy 9 f0lpH the defendant to Reno and then moved with him to California fol- lowing their marriage, the com- plaint states. After residing on the west coast for year, the couple returned to Connecticut, 1t is point ed out.

Hartford, Conn, May 23-CUPl- Gov. Baldwin threatened today that unless legislative leaders broke their deadlock over minor court appoint ments and acted on other major is- sues Of the session, he would "go to the people shortly and tell them the story"
 He called a conference of the Re- publicans and Democratic leaders of the House and Senate to discuss the legislative program in general, and the court appointments and ad- ministration-endorsed bills in par ticular.
 He said he wanted to know what progress they have made in the mi nor court judgeship appointments" and would demand more rapid pro- gress on the overall program.
 There are two more Weeks," re- maining of the session, he said. That's twelve legislative days, if they work six days a week. That's ample time to accomplish what's necessary to be accomplished. The legislature has certain constitution al duties and prerogatives to per- form and it has been my position to let them solve their own prob lens.
 But when it gets near the end and not much progress has been made, the governor has the duty to point this out. have been assisting in every way I could to help solve differences but it is essentially a legislative program.
