PUZILING POINTS IN NEWINGTON FATALTY (Continued From First Page) Morgan ment to the coroner, said that Miss Gahnberg must have caught her foot in between the ties on the trestle and unable to free herself, was struck by the trolley. As the woman's body was at least 40 yards from. the trestle when vicked up, this explanation does not seem logical. 1t is reported that the woman's hat was found on the station side of the trestle with a few of thé bundles she was carrying, while her body and other bundles were found on the other side of the trestle about 40 yards from the last tie. Another fact that would tend to refute the local medical - examiner's finding is that the space between the ties on the trestle is more than suf- ficient for any ordinary person's foof to pass thpough and be withdrawn without being caught in any way. An experiment to clear up this point was made by a "‘Herald” reporter, | The statement that the woman go! off the car between two stops made by the medical examiner is said by | offitials of the Connecticut Co. to be untrue because conductors are rot al- lowed to let a passcnger off a trolley car between stations. Worman Lying Across ‘Tracks It is said that the woman was part- {1y lying across the tracks when! | struck, and the first thing that the motorman saw, was her hand barely moving, as if she were just recovering from & stupor. It is explained that because of the snow that was on | the ground and the fact that the woman was wearing a white coat, the motorman on the car could not see her in time to avoid hitting her, and i the improbability of anyone being in that spot did not cause him to take any extra precautions. It could not be learned today whether the Newington town officials | or the state police intend to make any further investigation of the matter. Seven Election Counts !

HORE MYSTERIOUS Conession of Mzs, Jones Does Not Check Up Entirely Louisville, Dec.. 27. — The air of mystery surrounding the shooting of 0. L. Black in the apartment of Mrs. Olive L. Jones, divorcee, had been in- creased today by facts uncovered by police department investigators. Mrs. Jones, who claims she fired in self defense, faces a charge of murder. Some Facts Contradicted Officials declared important points ‘n the woman's account of the tra- gedy had been contradicted. Entering police headquarters early Monday morning, Mrs. Jones told of- icers she shot Biack lgte Sunday aft- srnoon following a quarrel and watched all night over the body, un- able to summon courage to call the police. The woman apparently was in her usual cheerful mood between 11 and 2 o'clock Sunday night, according to William Hixon, 18, who accompanied Clara, the 17 year old daughter of Mrs. Jones and C. H. Jones of Cin- cinnati, her divorced husband, home from a picture show. Mrs. Jones de c'ared, following her surrender, tiat she was in a hysterical condition dur. ng the night and fainted times, May Have Moved Corpse Investigators also intimated that the discovery of a piece of looped wire outside the window neam which the body was found was considered of importance. The wire, together with marks believed to have been caused by shoe nails, indicated a pos- sibility that Black was shot in another room from the one in which the body was found and raised or lowered through the window, it was eaid. Mrs, Jones former husband declar- ed in Cincinnati yesterday that prior to the shooting, plans had been made for their remarriage on January 1 He reiterated his statement that he would stand by Mrs. Jones through- out the case. severa PRISON FOR MASKED BAND.
