ButterfeLd DiUOrce Action Tried Today
 Mrs. ButterfieId Awarded Decree, Property
 Interests, Equity in Husbands Trucks

Mrs. Louise Watson Butterfield of Waterbury was granted a divorce from Laurence V. Butterf1eld on the ground of intolerable cruelty today at a Superior Court hearing, at which she named a prominent To- cal resident as the other woman" "
 The petitioner, who made only charges of cruelty as the basis of the suit, testified that her husband came home at all hours of the night and in very intoxicated condition for sometime before he disappeared last April II.
 For some months before he dis appeared she knew there was an- other woman in the picture.
 Mrs. Butterfield, stated that on the Monday before her husband left, she telephoned the woman" and talked to her.
 Judge James E. Murphy would not permit the witness to tell of the telephone conversation. He pointed out the action was brought on the ground of cruelty, and that reference could be made to her conversations with her husband but not with the woman"
 Continuing her testimony, Mrs. Butterfield stated her husband that Monday night "came home in a great rage and asked what I meant by calling the "other wom- an."
 Mrs. Butterfield described several incidents during which her hus- band used physical violence. She stated the first time he struck her was on New Years day, 1943. She said they were scheduled to go to 8 party New Years eve at the Country club and she waited until ? a. m. for her husband to come home to take her there. She said he arrived at 5 a. m. in an intoxi- cated condition, and in the ensuing argument he grabbed her wrist and injured her.
 The witness described an incl uCIlU db Gt1l ll1O1c1l 4NCAh NOGIcSS IA September, 1943, wher her husband arrived very late and in an in tox1cated condition to spend the week end with her and two other couples. She also told of scratches inflicted on her throat last Christ mas.
 When testimony on the "other woman was started, Atty. William Wertheimer, counsel for the plain tiff, stated it would connect with the defendants leaving of the jur- isdiction of the court. It was at that point that the court excluded testimony on the conversation of Mrs. Butterfield with the woman"
 At the close of the hearing, Mrs. Butterfield confirmed to reporters the fact that she had given the name of the other woman in her testimony The query was raised when her counsel refused comment, and at least one other lawyer in the courtroom had denied that such a statement was made.
