An unknown assailant hurled a rock and flaming newspaper at Hartford Mayor George B. Kinsella’s home early today. The rock cracked a storm window and a regular pane, while fire was stamped out by the mayor. The incident may relate to a threatening anti Negro letter received by the Hartford Human Relations Commission on Oct 26.
