FREDERICK, Md, July 8—A cor- *| oner's jury yesterday attributed the col- lapse of the bridge over the Monocacy River on June 19 to the overloading of the structure in its weakened condition while repairs were being made and to the State authorities 1or not having taken proper precaution against over- loading. The bridge collapse resulted in the death of three persons and the injury of seven others. ‘The report bearing on the collapse was read by J. E. Greiner, Baltimore con- sulting engineer, and brief testimony of T. W. Ward, contractor in charge of the repairs, and som® rebuttal testi- mony of Walter C. Hopkins, a State road engineer. Verdict of Jury. ‘The inquiry was begun two weeks ago by Magistrate Alton Y. Bennett, acting coroner. Questions were asked the wit- nesses by State's Attorney Willlam M. Storm and Robert Archer, assistant at- torney general of Maryland. ‘The verdict was as follows: “The said Edward Laing, James Gue and D. C. Bortner (the men killed) met their death on the 19th day of June, 1930, as a result of injuries received when the bridge over the Monocacy River at Frederick Juneaon collapsed, all of which being due to the continual overloading of said bridge in its weak- ened condition at the time repairs were being made and the proper precautions not having been taken by the State au- thoritles to prevent excessive overloading of said bridge.” ‘Weight Exceeds Limit. ‘The report of the engineers in part was that 12 men were working on the bridge when it went down. About 7.9 tons of trucks and equipment were on the structure. When a large truck loaded with stone, with a gross weight of 122 tons, entered, the bridge sup- ports buckled and the collapse imme- . | diately followed. The truck and its con- tents of stone were 74 per cent heavier 'fihn.: permitted by warning signs on the ige. ‘Those injured in the crash of the bridge were Elias B.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, July 8—Search for a “tall, thin man” was started today by Anne Arundel County police and Baltimore detectives as a result of a mumbled description by Clifford Borne- man of the man who is suj to have attacked and beaten him on Sunday morning. The information leading to this search was furnished by Harry Hirsch, in whose home Borneman lies in a semi-conscious condition. “I was talking with one of the three men who stopped me,” Mr. Hirsch said . Borneman mumbled, “when the big- gest of the three men, who was on my right, passed at me. I do not remember a thing thereafter.” Had Money for Honeymoon. At the time of which he was speaking Mr. Borneman was on his way to Balti- more to take his wife of five days and her relatives on his belated noneymoon to Galesville, Md. He had $300 which he had drawn from the bank that morn- ing. He wore his best clothes. The money was stolen. Mrs. Borneman was Miss Jane Tall. Her mother lives in the 1600 block Park avenue, Baltimore, and a Summer home at Round Bay. The newlyweds had known each other for three years and had announced that they would be married next June. A week ago today ried. Mr. and Mrs. William R. Tall, the bride's parents, objected to the match, e e search for the “tall, thin man” began when a farm hand on the Ditzel estate, near the Hirsch farm, Sheriff Michael F. Carter of Anne Arundel County that shortly before noon yesterday “he saw a tall, thin man, with blonde hair and light shoes and clothing, come from the bushes” where Borneman was found unconscious. The informant’s name has been withheld. Solution in Baltimore. James Hill, colored, who found the body, said as he approached the spot to which he had been attracted by groans he heard some one running away through the bushes. Following his talk with Hill and the Ditzel farm hand, Sheriff Carter left for Baltimore, saying that he believed the solution of the crime was to be found there. In the meantime, Dr. J. Oliver Purvis remained in almost constant attendance upon Borneman, saying that as soon as the patient showed sufficient improve- ment he would be removed to the Emer- gency Hospital in Annapolis. Mr. Hirsch is foster-father to Borne- man and says that while he cannot un- derstand the motive behind the attack, he knew that Borneman had received several threatening letters before his marriage and that two important letters were taken from Borneman's pockets during the attack.
