New Haven, March 21.—No addi- tional facts were made known to- day in the inquiry into the death of Leonard Dean who is supposed to have been burned to death in his parents’ cottage at Momauguin last Sunday. Byron Palmer, of East Haven, who was placed in jail yes- terday until the coroner shall have passed upon the case, was still there today. Deputy Coroner L. L. Field is understood to be following up some evidence which he took at the hearing yesterday. Hearing Monday The hearing will be resumed by the deputy coroner on Monday and will have to do with Palmer's vere alon of his discovery of the fire and also conversation he had after the fire with other persons. It is said that Palmer predicted that Dean's body would be found under the piano, and it was so found face down on the basement floor with the remnants of the plano on top of it. Palmer s heing kept in the poor debtor’s room at the jail and.re- ceives $2 a day and his board while held. Found Other Victim A development in the Dean case was that records of the death of Robert Dunlap a detective in the in New Haven police department, his cottage in East Haven in vember 1920 show that it was Byron Palmer who reported finding the ody. It was decided at the time that Dunlap dled from gas asphyx- ation, the fluid coming from a gas heater which had become leaky. At the time Palmer, as a witness at the inquest, said he had been requested by Dunlap to turn off the water and after getting into the cottage to do this he found Dunlap's body. Dunlap was alone in the cottage baving gone there one night to close it for the winter. It was a mystery at the time why Dunlap had asked Palmer to turn off the wathr when he could bave done 50 Limselt befors loeking up the place. The medical examiner at the time gave a verdict of accidental death. | The fact that Palmer reported the | | death first was brought out today in | connection with statements that Palmer had told where Dean's body might be found.

By The Assoclated Press. Springfield, Il1, March 21—Imme- diate need of surgeons, who will do- nate their time until the wounded in the tornado zone all receive atten- tion, today prompted Dr. I. D. Raw- |lings to appeal to county medical societies in Illinois for help. At the same time he addressed telegrams to the army, navy and public health laboratories at Washington, asking ‘tor supplies of anti-toxin, as gan- grene has appeared among the wounded. Dr. Thomas Leonard, assistant director of public health, who is in charge of the'department's fleld la- boratory relief, advised Dr. Rawlings that there are 363 surgical cases in and near Murphyshoro demanding I:Llll‘ntlen; 305 in West Frankfort, and 70 cases in the Herrin hospital | brought from Bush. | Because surgical attentlon has been delayed, he reported that gas bacillus gangrene has appeared and |1s spreading rapidly.

Heavy Financial Contribution. Heavy contributions of money an suppiies continued to pour in fro: all over the United States. Property loss in all devastated di: tricts was estimated variously In tween five and eight milllon dollar The few survivors of such anni hilated towns as Griffin, Ind., and D Soto and Parrish, IIl, clung desper ately to the hope that .the town: might be rebuilt. As town lots their property retained value. As a patel of ground on a windswept rural hi! their holdings were valueless. As the eye witness accounts of th: twister's visitation were more fracly { reported, its freakish, fronic and ec. centric antics struck observers as without parallel in the history of tornadoes. Many of the stories al- most exceeded belief.
