Myers and Willlam D. Shaw, handling the in- terests of Mr. Broder, made the fol- lowing explanation of what took ce: “Mr. Broder had been sick for about a week and was recuperating at his suite in the hotel. Up until Jast Friday he had with him Mrs. Hastings' groom, James Gibbons, who had been in attendance. Last Friday afternoon Jimes was dis- charged by Mr. Hastings at the Has- tings home, but Mr. Broder did not know this. Mrs. Hastings left her home at 29 Highland avenue, West Hartford, shortly after 3 o'clock, knowing probably from Gibbons that Mr. Broder was ill and helpless and in need of care. She went to the hotel to see if there was anything she could do for him. = “Mr. Broder was in one of the twin beds, under the covers, in such pain that he could with difficulty lift his head from the pillow. Mrs. Hastings came to his room, seated herself on the bed next to Mr. Broders’, and started to lecture him about his drinking, urging him to stop it. 8he was fully clothed, had on her hat and coat ,and carried 1 handbag. Door Broken In “She had been there about an bour, lecturing him all the time ‘when, without any warning knock. the door was crashed in. The door was not locked, but was held by a belt-chain. The first Mr. Broder rd was a terrific crash. Mrs. ings stood up beside the wall of the room. Mr. Broder sat up with the covers still on his person. “Mr. Hastings entered the room cursing and red as a beet and jump- | | affair and since it Mr. | been under the constant care of a | doctor.” “When they were going out, Mr. Stevenson said to Mr. Broder, ‘You |go ahead first’ Mr. Broder said, ‘With anyone who strikes from the rear, I won't go first.

After the | Broder has Stevenson's Explanation Commissioner Stevenson revealed the basis of the action, in his state- ment, which reads: “In the interest of the public forming a correct idea of this case, T am prepared to make a statement for which I take full responsibility. Mr. Hastings is a valued member of our firm. For three years he has known of a growing intimacy be- tween Mrs. Hastings and Mr. Broder. He had refused to believe that his wife was guilty of any serious of- fense and gave her the benefit of the doublt in cases of unexplained absences from home. He returned only last Wednesday evening from a month’s trip abroad. On Friday evening he was informed that Mr. Broder and Mrs. Hastings were in a room at the Highland Court hotel. At once he rushed in his car to the | home of his attorney, Benedict M. | Holden, told him what he had heard |and said that he intended to go to | the hotel.

I know, therefore, of the fine, brave struggle he has been making for three years to save his home. I know in detail how hon- orable, how patient, how entirely noble he has been while he was suf- fering. I know how he has fought against suspicions. I know that he was reluctant to believe that Mrs. Hastings had been otherwise than true to him. He has loved Mrs. Hastings devotedly. He has hoped that the intimacy which he saw be- tween Mrs. Hastings and Mr. Broder might be only a passing thing and that if he were patient and gener- ous it would pass. As late as Fri- day afternoon when he left our office to go home he was hoping to go away on a long trip with Ijs wife."” Says Woman Is Innocent Mrs. Hastings had retained Atfor- ney John T. Robinson to protect. her interests. He FLas issued the follow- ing statement: “As personal attorrey for Mrs. Hastings, I will state that Mrs. Hastings is absolutely innocent of the charge brought against her. Mrs. Hastings did call upon Mr. Broder last Friday evening for a very definite purpose, The purpose of her visit was not only innocent but was in fact commendable. I feel confident that an investigation will demonstrate the absurdity of any charge of wrongdoing and the pro- priety of the withdrawal of any such charge.” Why Alcorn Acted State's Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn, in asking for a bench warrant for the arrest of the pair, explained that the case would eventually reach the superior court and he felt that it would be a duplication of investiga- tion and effort to have it tried in the Hartford police court. In ask- ing for the warrant he said:— “A situation has arisen in this county which eventually will require the attention of this court, and it has seemed to me, and to those with whom I have conferred, that the court should now take original Jjurisdiction of it.

It seema that he, with a married wom- an living in this city, were taken in a room last Friday night, in a hotel room in the Highland Court hotel. Officers appeared with the husband of the woman and the doors of the room were broken down and real vioience resulted. Subsequently war- rants were issued by the police court, and those warrants are still outstanding. One of the parties is not yet in proper condition to ap- pear in court, “I have conferred with the police prosecutors. I have also conferred with counsel for the parties involved and I suggested to them that this seemed to me to be the proper course, and they readily acquiesce in that on the theory that this office could make ore investigation and there be no duplication of effort.

(Ted) Coy, Yale football star, today were planning their honeymoon in Europe. They were married here by Mu- nicipal Judge A. R. MacDonnell yes- terday at the home of General P. W.

Moore suf- fered a painful injury to his ankle while returning from his tour of duty this morning. He was attended by Dr. Arthur J. Savard. It is prob- able that he wil be required to re- main off duty for several days at least. Opposition to a zone change which would permit erection of a gasoline filling station at Shuttle Meadow avenue and Mason Drive, was'so pro- nounced at last night's meeting of the board of adjustment as to result in withdrawal of the petition. ' Attorney: Cyril F. Gaffney, coun- sel for A. W. Mason, the petitioner, took this action to avoid an adverse vote, explaining that the request may be made later in the event that Corbin avenue is made a part of the state trunk line highway system. Councilman Rodger W. Whitman of the first ward, who with Attorney Israel Nair expressed the opposition of the owners of neighboring prop- erties ,sought to have a vote taken and the negative action entered in the records, but when it was ex- plained that such a vote would not bar a future petition, he offered no |- further objection to withdrawal. Opposition to a gasoline filling sta- tion at this point had been antici- pated. When the meeting was called to order last night, the office of the mayor was crowded with objectors and when those favoring rejection of the petition were asked to stand, hardly a seat was occupied. When Commissioners W. E. Att. wood, P. F. McDonough and J.

He will bring in a new petition cov- ering the entire residence sone in this district. His mother is the own- er of approximately one-half of the area excluded from business and in- dustrial zones. Petitions for changes which would permit erection of a garage have been before the board of adjustment for several years, but opposition has continued, coming chiefly from Landers, Frary & Clark, the New Brjtain Institute and own- ers of residence property in the lo- cality. To avoid a traffic hazard, the board denied an application of Wal- ter Paskowski for a permit to con- duct a gasoline filling station at 534 ‘West Main street. Tt was voted to hold future meet- ings on the first Wednesday of each month, instead of the second Wed- nesday, this change being designed to meet the convenience of Com- missioner George T. Kimball.
