Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia univer- sity and chairman of the executive | committe> of the American organiza- tion dellvered an address and placed in the library a book containing the names of the American teachers and school children who contributed near- ly $40,000 to the restoration fund. The architecture is of the pure lemish renaissance type the so-called Rubens style, the material being white stone and red brick with roof of blue slate. The ceremony took place in the presence of Crown Prince Leopold, who placed the first book on the shelves, Speaking with great feeling, Cardinal Mercier alluded to the begin- ning of the work of rebuilding the :niversity in July, 1921 and the rapid progress that has been made, Dandone. Bridgeport, July 17,—~John Dan- done, 26, was today held criminally responsible for the death of George Hultz, 70, on May 4. This is the finding of Coroner John J. Phelan made public today, coples of which he sent to the state's at- torney's office and to Grand Juror Charles W. Walker of Ridgefield. Hultz's death, according to the find- ing, was caused by a compound frac- ture of the skull, inflicted by a blow from an instrument in the hands of Dandone. Dandone is now a prisoner in tHe Danbury jail. The coroner says that the murder was committed not necessarily be- cause of ill feeling or in self defense but to obtain sufficient money with which to purchase a diamond ring thereby to “make good" his story of pretended wealth to a girl in Danbury. The coroner in describing the testi- money taken said that early in the spring Dandone, how showed an earn- est desire to be married, became en- gaged to a young girl of Danbury, and( to her brother he made boasting but false statements as to his financial means. He presented the girl with a diamond ring which cost $100. When the fact that his representations were false ‘became known the engagement was broken and the girl returned the ring to Dandone, On July 7, Dandone accused him- self by writing to Sergeant Frank “We are almost stunned, gentlemen | Virelll of the state police of the kill- of the nfllanal committes of the ing of Hultz.
