         Pronounced Insane
         
         Adolphus Sorrell was arraigned in justice
       court Monday on a charge of assaulting and
       abusing his wife. Evidence was brought in
       that showed unreasonable violence. So strong
       in fact was the testimony along that line
       that Sorrell was remanded back to jail to
       be examined as regarded his sanity. The
       testimony of doctors and witnesses was al-
       most unanimous that Sorrell was insane. The
       court accordingly ordered him committed to
       the asylum for the insane at Waterbury, to
       which place he was taken by Deputy Sheriff
       H. P. Fisher Wednesday morning.
