 Judge Cornell inquired about the age of one of the deefndants, Mrs. Mary E. Boardman, and was told she was over 90 years old He also inquired about the distance from her home to the Waterbury courthouse and to that in New Haven. The other plaintiff in the action is Mrs Boardman's daughter, Dr. E. Irene Boardman Kathan.
