Angry wife triggers pardon after false testimony in Norwalk case
Mrs. Bruchman confessed she perjured herself, leading to her husband Stuchman's prison sentence for indecent assault on their two year old daughter.

Bruchman, about 40, disputed the charge but admitted the perjury in an affidavit. Dr Bohennon of Norwalk supported the accused's character before the board.
