FornnerJud!ge Succumbs in Haven Earnest C. Simpson
 Heard Motion tn
 Conspiracy Trial

State Referee Earnest c. Simpson, former Superior Court judge who did several assignments in the lo- cal court, died at his home in New Haven yesterday after long ill., ness.
 Judge Simpson sat for a part of the Waterbury Conspiracy trial, when the question of change of venue was brought up. The New Haven juriSt expressed approval of a proposal to transfer the trial to New Haven, but the move never materialized.

He was appointed to the Common Pleas Court bench in 1907 and was elevat- ed to the Superior Court judgeship in 1925, serving until he reached the retirement age of 70 in 1942.
 Judge Simpson was long devoted to the states military service, and was member of the National Guard from 1904 until 1911. In 1906, at Seagirt. N. J., he won the na- tional military rifle championship.
 Surviving are his widow, a son and three daughters, including Miss Virginia Mae Simpson, practicing attorney in New York City.
 Funeral services will be held in New Haven at 2 <. M. Friday. Burial will be in Evergreen Cemetery in New Haven.

 Testimony Starts
 Legal Clashes

Testimony by Mrs. Helen Crich- ton, housekeeper for the late Sarah J. Clark of Catherine Avenue, high lighted the Clark probate appeal trial in Superior Court yesterday afternoon and this morning. The appeal was taken by five cousins who contest the validity of the will, which left a large portion of the $50, 900 estate to Mrs Crichton.
 Mrs. Chrichton, who said she is now caretaker of the Clark prop erty, testified as to her association with Mrs. Clark while she worked for her. The housekeeper said she was paid semi-monthly by Mrs. Clark several years ago, but re- ceived no compensation during the last phase of her service.
 Frequent clashes between coun- sel resulted over the answers of the housekeeper. Attorney John H. Cassidy, counsel for the plain tiffs, claimed that the housekeeper was giving speeches, and inter- rupted her answers. Attorney Wal ter Torrance, who represents the will executor, claimed that Cassidy had no right to cut off the answers. Judge Quinlan intervened repeated ly.
 The housekeeper was cross exam ined today about a will" she claimed she found in sewing cabi- net week after Mrs. Clark'S death. The piece of paper was dated in 1899, and purportedly willed prop erty to Mrs. Crichton. The ac- cepted will was dated July II, 1945, and likewise left property and other belongings to the housekeeper.

Tonk-T over Order Given
 Hamilton Avenue
 To Get Service

Orders for a 50,OOO-gallon tank and 9O-foot tower on which 1t will be mounted were placed by the City of Waterbury today with the Pittsburgh-De Moines Steel Com pany of New York. The tank will be erected on city property at the East Mountain golf course and will enable the supply of full municipal water service to the steadily-grow- ing residential section atop Hamil- ton Avenue.
 Completion of the project, which is listed as part of the postwar development program drawn up by the City Plan Commission, will de- pend on the date that the tank and platform, along with the necessary pipe, can be delivered.
 The $13,900 cost of the tank and platform will be paid from the re- serve fund. City Comptroller Corne- Illus F. Maloney said today. Pur- chasing Director Henry J. Bowling reported that the Pittsburgh-Des Moines Company offered the lowest price of three concerns which could supply the tank and tower
 It will be necessary for water to be pumped from East Mountain Reservoir to the tank. The 90-foot height will make possible high-pres- sure water service to property own CTS in the East Mountain area as well as to the golf course itself.
 Improvement of water supply in the East Mountain area was planned for several years ago but the war-callsed shortage of materi- als forced the delay of the project.

Stote Holds PoImerSum
 Attachment Action
 Begun on Reword

Attachment proceedings have been started on. the $500 sum awarded in Superior Court yester- day to G. Edward Palmer of Chi cago, former Waterburian, for his part in the apprehension of Daniel J. Leary, it was revealed at the State Comptroller's Office in Hart ford today.
 The Democrat was told by a spokesman at the office that let ter of inquiry concerning the att tachment is on file at the office but that no action has been taken be- cause of the uncertainty as to whether or not a garnishment can be made against a reward.
 It was disclosed that the letter will be turned over to the States Attorney General for an opinion. The attorney general previously has held that certain types of bills and wages can not be garnished.
 No public disclosure was given as to the identity of the claimant against Palmer. It was understood that it was former creditor from Waterbury Palmer resided in this city for many years before going to Chicago. He operated an office supply business in this city while Leary was city comptroller, and had business contacts with Leary.

 Tomorrow at Elton

Seventy men and women in Wa terbury area plants, interested in foreign trade, will meet at the Hotel Elton for dinner tomorrow night at 6:3O.

The two bodies were recovered by Navy Sen- tries of the Naval Ammunition Depot at Leonardo. Next of kin have been notified of the recovery. Five Navy personnel are still listed as missing.
 Originally listed as one of the missing, the official notification of Sousa's death came on May 3. The Navy reported his address as g Oakland Street, Cambridge, Mass. His parents moved to this city three years ago after Sousa had entered the service.
 Sousa would have been 10 years of age last Monday. He attended schools at Cambridge, taking his recruit training at Bainbridge, Md. after entering the service.

 Seven men were killed and 36 seriously injured during the series of explosions which demolished the Solar on April 30. The Navy had difficulty immediately identifying those killed because the personnel records abroad the ship were des- troyed in the disaster.
