There- fore he deliberately drove the car over the embankment and into the | brook, the' police allege. Said Wife Was Driving | At the time the accident occurred, | Carlson to!d the police that his wife| was driving the car and that she was| pinned under the steering wheel. Ac-| | cording to the story told the news-| paper reporters at that time by Jullus| Carlgon, a brother of the accused from | Hartford, Mrs. Carlson was driving the machine and becoming confused by headlights on approaching cars, she lost control of the wheel and the car went over the embankment. The car turned on its right side and the woman was pinned under the steering/| wheel. The husband made good his| escape from the car as the windows {in the Ford coupe were partially opened. Sat on Wife's Head Upon being questioned, Carlson ad- | mitted that he was driving and when the car went over the embankment into the brook his wife was sitting on the right side. Fe was not hurt in the accident but his wife was stunned and the force of the fall caused her feet to go under the steering appara- tus and her head was in the water |near the right door. Seeing that her |head was partially in the water Carl- gon sald, the police claim, that he sat on her until he thought that she was dead. Believing that he had been |there more than a half hour and as- sured that his wife was dead, he started out of the car and began to shout for help. John Frawley, a motorman on a passing Berlin to New Britain trolley car was the first to see the accident and when his car reached the Ellis street junction he phoned the New Rritain police. Both Taken to Fospital Alvin Ventres, a resident of Ken- sington was the next to come upon the scene of the accident at about 9:20 o'clock. Fe alded the prisoner in taking the body of Mrs Carlson out of the ear. They were taken to the New Britain genaral hospital where Carlson remained until after midnight and the body of Mrs. Carl- son was turned over to the John A. Andrews undertaking parlors after permission had been granted by Dr. | Waterman ILyon, medical examiner. Chief W. C. Hart and Policeman £trolls, Hellberg and Brophy went to the scene of the crime after the call was recelved at police headquarters. The couple were married in South- ington about 20 years ago and two children were born of the union. They are Carl, 19, and Julius, 15, with whom Carlson has lived since the | time of the crime, Makes Conflicting Statements Since the accident occurred, Carl- [scn has been called to the police sta- |tion and has made three different |statements each one conflicting with |the other. He was first called on the | Tuesday following the accident at which time he stated the was driving :tho car and was blinded by the head- |lights of an approaching automobile. A week later he was again called | into the station and his statement at | this time conflicted with the first one. | He was not cross examined either| [time but the police say that thel changes in the statements were | enough to excite their suspiclon. He \was called In again yesterday morn- |irg and after being crossexamined | yesterday afternoon confessed to mur- |dering his wife, the police say. | The first time he was called, he| ! stated that his wife was driving the | car and was going to turn from Stan- | ley street Into South Main street in! order to go to the nearest gasoline| | station to flll the gasoline tank. The | | second time he admitted that they| were driving in that direction to col- {1ect some bilis and yesterday morning | said that they stopped at their home on the return trip from Hartford to get some bills so that they could go| {out and collect money. i | Insurance Claim Held Up | Mrs, Carlson was insured for $500 |in the New York Life Insurance com- | pany and although her husband has put in a claim for the money he has not received any as the elaim is still pending. Carlson Taken to Jafl. | Carlson was taken to the county| jall in Hartford at 9:30 o'clock this| by Policemen Willlam | Strolls, John . Stadler and Herbert Lyons, in the police service car. The officers upon their return stated that the prisoner was in the best of humor on the trip to Hartford and on sev-| eral occasions joined the others in a hearty laugh on subjects of interest. |No mention was made of the murder. | The two children are now living at | D. 8; M.
