The prosecutor, in summing up, ad- vecated the separation of the couple as the only remedy for the trouble. He did not think that a jail sentence should be imposed. & Judge Griswold, in giving judgment, stated that he disagreed. “No man is Justified in laying violent hands upon his wife,” he declared. At the conclusion of the -case, Sheriff Clark took the prisoner to the Hartford county jail. Body Returned to Vermont. The body of Mrs. Addie Webster, who died at the New Britdin hospital yesterday afternoon as the result of injuries sustained in a runaway acci- dent with Miss Laura Smith Sunday afternoon, left on the 10:57 express this morning cn route to Eden, Ver- riont. where funeral services will be held tomorrow. Rev. Carleton Hazen, pastor of the Kensington Methodist church, accompanied the bhody, he heing familiar with the part of the state of Vermont in which the de- ceased woman lived, by virtue of the fact that he formerly held pastorates at Rochester and -Rutland. According to the plans which Mr. Hazen had this morning, he will re- main in S{ Johnsbury, Vt., tonight, leaving for en with the body to- morrow morning. He did not know whether or not he would be called upon to conduct the funeral service. Mrs. Webster is survived by her husband and a sister, who resides in Claremant, N. H. She was a hard working waman, receiving but little help from her husband, who is said to be a rather shiftless fellow. M Smith made her acquaintance while doing missionary work in Eden last summer. She became very much at- tached to the unfortunate woman and kept up a correspondence with her after retfirning to Berlin. She in- vited her to visit her last week and, it is understood, paid her fare to Ber. lin. Mrs. Webster, who had been looking forward to the trip for weeks, arrived here last Friday, the picture af happiness. Miss Smith took her out drive Sunday afternoon to show her the town. As the couple drove out of the yard, neighbors saw that the reins were dangling over the dash, Miss Smith being busy talking to her guest. The horse ran down the grade without any guidance from the driver. it is thought now that, probably the runaway started in his way when the couple were returning. People who reached the scene of the accident shortly after it occurred state that Mrs. Webster exhibited rare unselfishness, When the doctors ar rived, they began attending her, but she ‘d them to look after Mis: Smith first, as she felt that she was for a little | Plainville News || DIGGLE DIVORCE SUIT | 10 BE TRIED FRIDAY Husband May 7Not Gontest Local Woman's Plea for Deciee.
