Steiber today found Mrs. Imogene Stevens, 24, criminally responsible for the death by shooting of Albert Kovacs, 19, submarine sailor whom the Army Major’s wife shot and killed in the home of a neighbor in New Canaan last Saturday night. The Coroner said that statements furnished by police indicated that Mrs. Stevens was “under the in- fluence of liquor and under a high emctional strain” when she fired three shots into the Norwalk youth's body but asserted that “the intoxi- cated condition of Mrs. Stevens does not absolve her from a charge of manslaughter.” From statements made to police by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Milton, in whose home, adjoining that of ! the Stevens residence, the shooting occurred, it would appear, said Steiber, that “an illicit love had existed between Mrs. Stevens and | Mr. Milton which caused the Milton home to be broken up for a num- ber of months.” Steiber, expressing the iclief it was more than a probability that (and largest liner, the 85,000-ton | | Queen Elizabeth arrived mday‘ | bringing over 14,000 soldiers, sailors, | | Army nurses and civilians.

With the Lions still roaring in the background over their defeat in the softball game held at the Firemen's Park Wednesday, Mike Haas stated that if the Lions still think they were unfairly beaten and could win, all they have to do is issue anot challenge.
