DAVEY GETS 81,030 FOR PLANE GRASH Award Believed irst of Its Kind in Gonntry Damages of $1,050 were awarded to: Charles Davey of this city by | Judge Newell Jennings of the supe- | rior ‘court: yesterday in what is be- lieved to be the first award as a re- | sult of an airplane collision ever to | be made in the United States. Davey sued Clarence D. Tuska of Malvern | Hall, Philadelphia, formerly of Hart- ford, as the result of a crash be- tween two planes at Brainard Field on September 13, 1925, This case, arising after Dave plane was demolished when struck | by Tuska's craft, was the first of its | kind in Connecticut and it is be- | lieved that there hasnever been one | similar in the United States. The | New Britain man's plane was pilot- | «d by his brother, Simon, who was making a forced landing on the field. Tuska's plane, taking off from the | wrong part of the fleld, it was al- | laged, collided with it. William J. | Galvin, Jr., and Charles J. Mec- | Lzughlin ‘represented Davey, while | I'rancis W. Cole defended Tuska. | Tuska was on the ground waiting | to take off, and after looking out hoth sides of the plane, started. “When a plane is on the ground there is a blind spot ahead because of the elevation of the motor and usillage,” observed Judge Jennings. The plane of Davey was in this Llind spot and was not scen by | Tuska." “No svoner had Tuska started than lis passenger saw the plane of vey dead ahead and signalled Tuska. Tuska did not see this sig- nal at first, as he was leaning out of the cockpit to the left and look- ing ahead. About the time he saw the signal he also saw the right wing of Davey's plane about fifty feet head. Tuska was then off the ground and travelling at the rate of about fifty miles per hour. He triad to zoom Davey and was par- tially successful, rising from a posi- | tion just off the ground to an ele- vation of fiftecn feet. This was not sufficient to clear Davey's plane, | however. Their right wings en- gaged and they crashed. “It was agreed in argument and I find that the ordinary rules relating 10 negligence apply to the situation arising in this case. An eagle is a wonderful bird in the air but is nearly helpless on the ground. A plane is in much the same case. 1| do mnot find from the evidence that Davey did anything he ought not to have done or omitted to do anything he ought to have done. “Tuska cannot meet this test.| A plane taking oft might be com-| pared to a bullet fired from a gun.| If it attempts to stop, it crashes.

Tuska Fortunate “It advantaged Tuska little that he looked to the right and left, it he failed to look ahead, the place of real danger. It would have been a simple matter for him either to get out of his plane and make sure that his way was clear or to inquire of some bystander. He did neither and was guilty of negligence.

Quibbling ended when Justice | Seeger ruled both diarfes out | temporarily, since it seemed to him neither concerned Mrs. Browning | during the time of her marriage to |the man whose separation suit she | was today answering. | Mrs. Heenan was testifying witness of during the morning, | dismissed until the noon recess, jafter 20 minutes of semi-jocular | cross-examination conducted by | Mack. the the longest three No Joke, She Says At one point his questions eli ed answers which led to comment fon Mack's part that threw the {courtroom into laughter and neces- |sitated rapping to restore order. | Mrs. Heenan snapped back at |her_interrogator. | “This is no laughing matter to |me, Mr. Mack,” she said. And then she appealed to the court for a |change in the tome of the ques- tions. Henry Epsteln sprang to his feet with an objection also to Mr. | Mack’s attitude. | Justice Seeger leaned over the {bench, with his chin resting in his | hand. “Well,” he sald, slowly, “I'm not | golng to control the tone of the . {voice of the counsel here.

Peaches There Early Arriving half an hour before the ! opening of court, Peaches preceded | her husband to the scene of today's | hearing. | Her arrival caused little comment. | The weather was clear but extremeiy | cold and few persons, at the time of her arrival, were waiting at the courthouse. | The crowd increased as the hour | set for today’s opening approached and Mrs., Browning was to go on the stand again to relate the acts of her husband, during their six months of | marriage, which she contends were | so eccentric as to constitute extreme cruelty. |~ Browning appeared in the court- room, without having encountered particular ovations either in the cor- ridors or the streets. He arrived one minute ahead of Justice Seeger. Worked at $15 a Week | Mrs. Browning was continued on the witness stand under cross ex- | amination by John E. Mack, who | questioned her about her employ- | ment at $15 a week at a New York department store prior to her mar- riage. | she was called upon then to iden- |tify several tabloid papers offered | in evidence as containing her ac- | in | count of “Why I left Daddy Brown- ing.” Her voice, during the first part | of the testifying was in a low and | | somewhat nervous tone. s i person’s face s custom- | arity pasted on a body posed by an- | other person were ruled out as evl- I gence. | Offers Tabloid Papers | Browning's huge, heavy black | scarlet-initialled suitcase, it turned | out, was literally filled with tabloid | papers, most ot which, edition by | cdition, were offered in evidence. | Browning's counsel then submitted | the first letter thus far offered, from | to the elderly | |the young woman | realtor.

Mrs. Browning reached behind the witness stand and clasped her mother's hand for sympathy. { More About the Diary | Attornoy Epstein introduced a new angle into the situation when he stated that the diary offered for | identification for Browning was not an ‘exact | copy” of the actual diary kept before Mrs. Browning's marriage. | Browning declared that she M had been advised to make a copy be- | cause the booklet would become the | property of the court. She said that | she had omitted men acquaintances and incidents in ! the copy. “Were some of | about the young men you knew? | “Yes” answered the witness. Mack then asked: “Did you see Dale copy something out of that and did it occur to you that he ! these omissions dia | was published? Did that cause you to tell your attorney last night that | the book we have is a certainly did not,” she an- ‘Woman of World The writings of this lady will show that she was a woman of the |world and knew what marriage meant,” declared Mack. | “Iwasagoodgirl before my mar- | rlage,” Mrs. Browning burst out. | Justice Sceger remarked in an- | swer to arguments of attorneys to the authenticity of the diary that it did not seem that the record kept before the marriage had relation to the subscquent events, and tempor- arily ruled it out. Heard Two Quarrel After fifty-five minutes, Mrs. Browning was excused and Mrs. Catherine Mayer, for five years a friend of Mrs. Browning and her mother, took the stand. She is a | middle-aged woman. | _She testified that at Cold Spring, N. Y, she heard Mr. and Mrs. rowning quarrel once she heard Mrs. Browning scream behind locked doors. Mother, e take care of me,” the witness said Mrs. Browning told her and Mrs. Carolya Heenan, when she and the girl's mother rushed to the couple’s bedroom. Mr. Mack began cross-examination 1o bring out that the witness heard only one cam, that she was triendly with Mrs. Heenan, and had been out of employment three weeks, Then Mrs, Carolya Heenan, moth- cr of Mrs. Browning, took the stand. Mother Testifies She testified that her daughter, horn in Columbus, Ohio, was named Cgtherine Frances Heenan, and was her only child.

She sald she always waited up for the two to return when they went out together at night. “He showed me many beautiful letters from girls who wanted to marry him.” Photographers Baned Cameras were taken from three photographers at this point by order of Justice Seeger, who caysed the men to place them on his bench. The justice warned that any one else found in the court room with cameras would be liable for con- tempt, Mrs. Heenan told of her visit on April 9, to Dale's office where the wedding was planned. She sald that Browning gave her a roll of bills, asking her to rent a house at Cold Spring, and make other arrange- ments, Browning told one of the men in the party, to bring along a.few men “big enough to knock over any of- ficer of the law who showed his badge,” Mrs. Heenan asserted. The witness had previously mentioned the proceedings of the Children's soclety instituted at about this time against her as an improper guardian. Daughter Was Unhappy Mrs. Heenan described visits to Cold Springs where she sald she noted that her ddughter was ap- parently unhappy with Browning. The witness detailed the alleged incident at Cold Spring when Mrs. Browning came out of her husband’'s room crying and complaining of his requests. Browning, she sald, called her “mother” and asked her to stay with Mrs. Browning and take care of her while the couple was at Bronxville, Mrs. Heenan sald that she protest- ed that she did not want to be around all the time. ‘The judges buy me lunches, while they freeze the others out. You'll be down in the dirt. Do you know | your daughter proposed to me were statements said by Mrs. Heen- an to have been made by Browning when there was some discussion of a separation betwen the real estate man and his young bride. The examination then passed to ‘!ncldcnu at Kew Gardens and the | time when Mrs. Heenan said she no- | ticed that her daughter's health | was apparently fading. The witness said that in early Sep- tember she was called to the inn where her daughter was confined to bed and that a physician was i there. The doctor said that Mrs. Browning's illness was not serious. Browning contradicted the doctor jon this occasion and said to Mrs. Heenan, “I might as well tell you your daughter is going to die in one of these spells,”” the witness said. Named Her “Peaches.” The witness told of another visit | shortly afterward following one of her daughter's “spells.” She said that the young woman had bitten her tongue and it was bleeding and Browning cried “these spells are aw- ful.” Mr. Browning, she testified, was the person who first gave her daughter the name of “Peaches, Both Mrs. Heenan and Mrs. Mayer frequently had to be halted in the middle of sentences which tended to become a recital of what was said | among themselves about Browning | rather than what occurred. In con- act, dated, quick responses, the mother delivered her remarks in a round-about manner with a strong tendency fo excess verbiage. Courtroom, White Plains, b Jan. 26 (UP)—A squad of extra po- lice and sheriff's deputies was as- igned to the Westchester county courthouse today to control the crowds eager for another peep at “Peaches” and “Daddy” Browning. Prospect that the 16year-old Trances Heenan who became the bride of Edward wealthy, middleaged realty operator, would resume the stand for further cross-examination about the indigni- ties she said he heaped upon her es- tablished the separation suit as a highly popular attraction. Crowds Arrive Early. citizenry began to arrive early. Some were content to wait outside on the courtroom steps to cheer lustily both grey-haired plain- tiff and his robust wife. After having been on the witness stand for three hours and 45 min- | utes, “Peaches” was willing to re- turn. “I didn't mind it so very much,” she told the United Press when | court adjourned cially when I remembered I was telling the truth about Mr, Brown- |ing and describing him just as he was.” The It the testimony given by the 16- | | year-old wife of the husband who is | | 36 years her senior is to be taken as |an accurate appraisal, the Cinderella. legend of the tenement girl and her | millionaire fairy prince is complete- ly demolished.
