Connecticut can be just as
lenient as Virginia or New Jer-
sey, Judge John j. O'Connor
said today as he suspended
judgment against a Navy Off
Ger who drove a car from
Georgia to Manchester with

Folks down home aren't in
too much of a hurry to register

been stopped in Virginia and
New Jersey, but both times the

This was the central theme Of

Suit Resulted
Developments since 1851 In
clude q suit to recover the letter
by Mr.. Green who claimed $780,
900 damages. The suit was heard
by Judge Leon Bazile in Hanover
Circuit Court two years ago. A
Jury awarded the letter to Mr.,
Green and assessed $500 dam
ages against Mr.. MACPHERSON
Judge Bazile. In his opinion,
severely castigated Mr.. Mac
Pherson for the use he had made
|of the letter.
The Republican says 1t cost
him $500 TO appeal that $500
suit. just to clear his name. The
State Supreme Court upheld Mr.
cPherson last year by revers-
ing the $500 damages against
him. but upheld the lower court
in awarding the letter to Mr.
Green.
Two weeks ago, Mr.. MacPher-
son dropped a bombshell in q
race which had been reasonably
temperate. when he linked Mr.
Magruder with Mr.. Green's for

From the record Of the Han
