There was a short calendar session of the superior court in this city day morning. Besides assigning sev. eral cases for next week, two uncon- tested divorce cases were heard, one of them remaining open for further evidence. Court opened at-10.15 and the fol- lowing assignments were made, all for Tuesday: Florence M. Rood, Ad- ministrator, vs. Jazeb B. Maine; Jack- son and Sumner vs the Hartford Puilder’s Finish Company: Town of Windham vs the Town of Brooklyn; Elizabeth |C. Pickett, administrator, vs. Lena Hochberg:; Annie Silverman vs The Atlas Assurance company. The cases will be heard in the order men- tioned and were assigned in this man- ner because in the past, practically only one case has been heard a day as the others assigned have heen set- tled out of court. The case of Emily J Roos, executrix, appeal from com- Tissioners on the estate of William Ross, wilP be heard before a jury on the 20th of November and the case of Ora Sayles vs the City of Willimantic will be heard before the jury. follow- ing the Ross case. Divorce Case Continued. The uncontested divorce case of Millie W. Bennett vs. Byron A. Ben- nett was the nheard. OWwing to the won-arrival of one of the witnesses, the case was not finished Herbert W. Crant of Hartford testified that he knew both parties and knew that they were separated. Mr. Bennet told him in 1912 and again last June that they would never live together and to the best of his knowledge they never have since. The case was then continued. WIFE IN NORWICH HOSPITAL Court Frees Joseph Peck, Who s Given Custody of Teo Children. The_uncontested divorce case of Jo- seph Peck vs. Cecelia Rose Peck was then taken up. Attorney Thomas J. Kelley represented the plaintiff. The divorce was claimed on the grounds of insanity. Mr. Peck testified that their civil marriage took place in New York Oct. 17, 1903, and the religious marriage in January 27, 1904 Two children were born to them and he is taking care of them now. In 1906, at the time of the birth of. the second child, Dr. John Weldon was attend- ing his wife and he said that she was mentally unbalanced and should be placed under guard. A few days af- ter the birth of the child, she cut her- self from ear to ear and Doctors Wil- cox and Morton Hills worked over her for a week, performing surgical operations. He tock her to the Back- us hospital, Norwich, and to a New York specialist. Later he sent her to a Stamford sanatorium. He brought her to his home in this city and had a nurse from New York to care for her. She seemed to get worse and cne day tried to drown the children. The nurse refused to stay and Drs, Wilcox and Keating were appointed by the court to examine his wife for her sanity. They found her mentally unbalanced and dangerous to the edmmunity and sent her to Middle- town asylum. She fl-DDeared to be better there and was discharged. While in New York she was committed to an insane asy- lum there. She was transferred to the Norwich insane asylum in 1910 and_is there yet. While at home Mr. Peck saiq that she would often get wild and throw things around but he thought it to be temper at the time. Aaron Peck, father of the plaintiff, testified that Mrs. Peck had tried to drown the children and had tried to kill herself once by cutting herself on the face. r. Frederick . Wilcox, one of the doctors who examined Mrs. Peck, was the next witness. He said that he went to Brewster's Neck last Tues- day to examine her record there. and to talk with her and her attendants. He found that she was incurably in- sane and progressively retting worse. She has lost all track of time, the lo- cations of places, the names of her family and relatives, and does not «ven know her own name. She is con- stantly under the care of an attend- ant. He said that her condition was ab- solutely hopeless. In 1910 when he committed her to thé hospital, the in- sanity was in a mild form but she has grown very much worse. Judge Kellogg granted the divorce, giving Mr. Peck the custody of the two children.
