Crampton, New Haven, superintend- ent of the state fish and game commis- sion. This is the becoming-famous Qeer case. Attorney Yeomans of Hartford rep- resented Mr. Crampton. The defend- ant demurs, first, because it is not al- leged that the defendant had any au- thorlty or supervision over Arthur L. Day, county game warden for Wind- ham county, whose alleged assault on Mr. Torrey resulted in the bringing of the suit against Superintendent Crampton; second, because it is not al- leged and does not appear that said Arthur L. Day was the servant or agent of the defendant or owed any duty to hm; third, because it is not alleged and does not appear that the derendant was present at the time of the alleged aseault. Mr. Yeomans said, after reading the demurrer, that he would cite no au- thorities. Attorney Charles E.
