The accident occurred when Reade, driving from Plainville to Southington in a touring car, crash- ed head-on into a truck loaded with fruit and vegetables driten by Kanla and approaching from Southington. Another truck also loaded with fruit and produce following Kania crash- ed into the rear of Kanla's truck before the driver could bring it to a stop. Kania was thrown headlong into the front of Reade’s car and Reade was pinned behind the driv- ing wheel on his automobile. The crash was heard all through the neighborhood and when resi- dents nearby» went to {investigate, they found the injured men in the wreckage. D. L. H. Frost of Plain- ville was called to the scene ard after an examination he summoned the New Britain General hospital am- bulance and sent Reade and Kania to the hospital. B Reade Steps on Gag' According to the story told by Reade, he was driving along the road on his way to Danbury. A heavy fog covered the highway and it was difficult to see and it was pre- carious driving in the rain. As he rounded the curve over Dunham’s bridge, not being familiar with the road, he saw it branch off and widen where the gasoline filllng station has been set up. Thinking that the curve led around to this and unable to fol- low the road in the fog, he turned sharply to the left and was con- fronted by two pairs of headlights on the oncoming trucks. stated that he thought that the trucks were coming on the left sfde of the road and he failed to see that he was on the left side himself. He stepped on the gas to avoid a col- lision, but before anything could be done, he had driven his automobile squarely into the oncoming truck, the result being a terrific crash, The touring car driven by Reade was demolished in the front while the truck was badly damaged .both in the front where Reade's car hit it and in the rear where the second truck plunged into it. Fruits and vegetables were strewn all over the road and it was not ascertained at at a late hour if any of the loads of perishable goods could be salvaged. The police of Plainville and South- ington were on the scene at an early hour, but as$ the crash happened in Southington, Constable Thomas Mur- phy of that town started an investi- gation. It 1s not known if any ar. the roadway at this point is always covered with a blanket.of mist more dense than at other points along the | road.

ZZA——Thel Rev, Lawrence M. Hight of Ina., confessed early today that he had killed his wife, Anna, and Wilford | Sweetin, by placing poison in their drinks as he ministered to them dur- ing flinesk, according to a statement given out by State's Attorney F. G. Thompson. o'clock, after hours of questioning, the state's at- rney said Hight stated he put poison in a cup of coffee which he served to his wife early on the morning of September 10, and then admitted he put polson in a glass of water he gave to Sweetin at his home in Ina, July 27. Maintained Innocence Traces of the same poison had been found by a chemist in the vis- cera of both perfons. The cletgy- man, although he is sald to have ad- mifted Saturday he had purchased poison three times in recent months in Benton and Mount Vernon, had maintained he had obtained it to kill rats in the parsonage. The confession exonerated Mrs, Sweetin, and declared.there was no basis for the village gossip linking Hight's name with hers, Hight went frequently to the Sweetin home in his official capacity of minister to the sick during the i11- ness of Swebtin and was with him the night before he died. Yesterday Coroner Jesse Recce re- ceived the chemist's report saying that Sweetin’s death had been caused by, poison. The body has been disin- terred following the arrest of Hight upon the discovery of poison in his wife's stomach. The confessions stated that Hight administered the poison’ to relieve the pain of the sick persons.

At one point the clergyman asked to be again alone with the state's attorney whom he addressed throughout the night as “brother.” For two hours more the two men | struggled with their problem. Then the attorney appeared, his face white and drawn with fatigue, holding the written conféssion of the minister, that_he had poisoned his wife, After acknéwledging this confes. | sion, Hight expressed a desire to eriff Holcomb'also to confess that | he poisoned his wife, Feared He'd Be Killed After acknowledging this confes- sion, Hight expressed a desire to Sheriff Holcomb also to confess that NINE KNOWN DROWNED WHEN wy RS GO OF '"Nl "mlfléuuu IJU\- [ DRIVER HELD N $l 000 FOR NEWINGTON DEATH Coroner Calhoun to Hold Inquest Into Killing of Joshua Belden | Douglass Neville of Hartford, own- er of the automobile which struck Joshua Belden, aged 75, at Newing- ton, shortly after midnight Friday night was given a preliminary hear- ing before Judge E.

The inquest will be conducted at a date not yet set, by County Coroner Cal- houn, According to the story told to the state police by Mr. Neville he was driving through Newington when Mr. Belden and his son Charles W., crossed the street ahead of the Nev- ille machine. The son got across in safety but the father, who is sald to have been' feeble and whose sight was not good, was struck, receiving injuries from which he died later in the Hartford hospital. Mr. Neville learned by telephone later in the day that Mr. Belden had died and upon his return home shortly before midnight Saturday night he telephoned the state police, giving his story. He was summoned to the Newington court yesterday morning. The case is marked with a strange attempt at secrecy. Mr. Neville was reticent in talking to the state police Saturday night and the Belden fam- ily was reluctant to encourage news- papermen in a search for details.
