* RAILROAD 15 SUED FOR WRECKED AUTO Holfman Blames Gate Teader for Plainville Accident The New York, New Haven & Hartford R. R. Co., was named de- fendant today in a $1,100 damage suit brought by Charles R. Hoffman, Who seeks to recover for the demol- ishing of his automobile by a train on New Year's evening at the East Main street crossing in Plalnville. According to the complaint issued by Attorney Donald Gaftney, the piaintiff was attempting to cross the tracks and when the car was in the middle of the tracks, the gate- man blew his whistle, whereupon the plaintiff stopped. The gateman then ordered all occupants out of the car including the family of John Vos, as a train was approaching the crossing at a fast rate of speed and without warning. As a result the car was completely wrecked and the plaintiff now claims that the com- pany was negligent in failing to keep the crossing guarded properly. It is further claimed that the train was travelling at too high a rate of speed when approaching the cross- ing, that the company was negli- gent in having it poorly tended and that there were no lights or gates at the crossing to warn anyone of a train's approach. Papers were scrved by Constable The writ is returnable in superior court on the first Tuesday in May.

"I want to call a doctor; my hus- | Land just shot himself,” the woman | informed Patrolman Natrn. Mrs. Beardslee telephoned for Dr. Luther Heidger and then walked back to her home, about threc blocks distant, accompanicd by Pa- trolman Nairn. Dr. Heidger hastened to the scene, arriving simultancously with Patrolman Nairn and Mrs. Beards lee. He found the wounded man lving in his night clothes on the floor of the bathroom on the second story. He at once called for the am bulance and Sergt. Patrick Flana- gan, who was on desk duty at Strat- ford police headquarters, responded. Flanagan and Nairn lifted up the wounded man into the ambulance and took him to Bridgeport hospi- | tal where an X-ray examination disclosed that a .22 caliber buliet, which had entered the man's left temple, had lodged in the brain in such a position as to make an operation out of the question. Beardslee was when he arrived at the hoapital. Victim Accuses Wife He denied ownership of the re- volver which was found in his bed, where bloodstains indicated the shooting had taken place. “Did you shoot yoursel gan asked him. “No," Beardslee replied. “Did your wife shoot you?" Beardslee mumbled an affirma- tive answer, according to the officer, and shortly afterward lapsed in%o unconsciousness. Hoping that Mrs. Beardslee would be able to tell what had happened after she had sobered up, police after questioning her at headquar. tcrs took her home, and brought her hack to the police station several Fours later She drank some black coffee and water and still insisted that her hus- band had shot himself. “He had part of the gun. Fad hidden the other part of it said. “He must have found it and put it together.” She just shook her head and look- cd blank when police asked her what led up fo the shooting. Adjoining Room Wrecked That there was a quarrel in the house was indicated by the fact that the room next to the bedroom had been wrecked. An clectric jron had been torn from its socket, dishes had been broken, and the room was cluttered with overturned furniture. Beardslee had obviously heen shot in bed, as the pillow was stained with blood and there was a trail of hlood leading from the bedroom to the bhathroom. 3eardslec had lived a quiet, cluded life, until his parents died and 1ot him what was regarded in Stratford as a fortune. He had been considered the towr foremost “woman hater,” particularly when he came out and worked against the woman_suffrage amendment. swear- ing that if it was adopted he would r again vote Short leritance, estimated at $100,000, he was introducsd to his present wife.

The Beardslees were married at the Municipal Building. New York. August 19, 1926, and scparated for the first time less than a month later when John C. Wilcoxson of Stratford was appointed conservator over Deardslee. Domestic tangles had heen a part of Oliver Beardslec's life since he married Gladys M. Foster. 25 of Hartford, in 1926. Within two months he had brought a suit for divorce against her charging cruelty and habitual intemperance which zc- tion he later withdrew when they reached a reconciliation. At the time Beardsiee denied that a4 writ had been issucd, and so did Lis wife, but his attorney. Dwight 1.

She had bought $2,000 worth of articles. Upon his bride, Beardslee lavished jewelry, gowns, an expensive auto- mobile with a chauffeur and brought her to the ancestorial home intend. ing to go later to Europe. Several times tradesmen brought attach- ments against Beardslee's property but it was claimed to be due to his wife'’s acts and then came the divorce actlon which came to naught. Once Beardslee wanted his wifs evicted from their home, but Police Chief W. B. Nichols advised Beards- lee to drop any “strong arm” acts. as he declared, Mrs. Beardslee had a right to be in their home until the courts said otherwise. In the early period of their mar- riage life, there was much galety in the Beardslee home, but later quiet reigned and seldom were lights seen in the mansion late at night.

Firm of Magnuson & Jobnson An action was brought today through Attorney John H. Ycomans |of Hartford in which the plaintift | seeks damages in the amount of $2,- 1000 on nine counts, all pertaining to alleged inferior materials used in the construction of several homes in Newington. The action was brought by Her- | bert L. Welch of Newington, against Edwin Magnuson and John John. son, contractors, who it is alleged used materials which later proved to be defective and inferior. The plaintiff engaged the defendants to install first class plumbing, heating system, clectrical appliances and build foundations and cement floors for nine buildings. After the work was completed, the plaintiff alleges he found that the work was done jin so negligent and unskilltul man. ner as to necessitate much repair for which he had to expend large sums of money, it is claimed, and that repeated requests on his part to remedy the defectlve conditions in the homes, met with absolute re- fusal. In one instance, the plaintiff claims that the defendants were re- quested to build a cement founda- tion for a home, but instead uscd a stone foundation, which he claims is inferior to the one he orderad. The plumbing in most of the homes proved defective, as did the cement floors in the cellars of the buildings, which after a time, began to crack because of the cheap grade of cement used, it is complained. The cost of bullding the homes ranged from $3,200 to $5,050, while the amount of damage cauded by using interfor materials ranges from § to $300 to a house. Papers were served by Constable Fred Winkle. The writ is returnable in superior court on the first Tuesday in May.

A sprinkling of industrials, specialties were lifted to new high ground in the early buying move- ment, but the general list was un- der steady pressure. Declines in the active issus ranged from 1 to 5 points, with a few high priced spe- cialties recording much larger loss- es. Widespread rumors that the New York Federal Reserve bank would increase its rediscount rate after the close of the market, and that brok- ers’ loans would show a large in- crease were behind the selling move- ment. The German Richsbank in- creased its rate from 6% to 7 per cent today, but the bank of England made no change in its 51§ per cent rate. The view haa been held in many quarters that any change in the ratc here would be preceded by & change in the British rate. THE MARKET AT 3:30 P. M. (Furnished by Putnam & Co.)
