Nott on August 30 last in a-finding by Coroner John J. Phelan | today. Mrs. Ethel Hutchins Nott, widow of the murdered man, and John Edward Johnston, are held as acces- sories to the murder, although not charged with the crime. Coroner Phelan in part says: “In considering the evidence in the case as shown much of which is con- flicting and unreliable, I am satisfied neither Johnston or Mrs. Nott active- 1y participated in the actual killing of the deceased except in law. “There appears to be no serious doubt, however, that Mrs. Nott aided and abetted Wade in endeavoring to suppress, conceal and obliterate the evidences of the murder by assisting in the washing away of the blood stains and- placing of the body in the trunk and her false statements to |in- quirers as to the whereabouts of her Thusband. “That Johnston aided and abetted Wade in endeavoring to conceal the evidence of murder also is not to be seriously denied, and of his assistance in transporting the trunk containing the body to Easton.” NINETY YEARS YOUNG Mrs. Henry Moore of Lincoln Street, mitted in Navy Even for Medicinal Purposes, New Order Says.
