They said that t quarreled for about a half hour and when the quarrelin g stopped, they drive away. he:lrl:k:yc::med to attach muc!| im- portance to this new testimony. ro; the death of Huntington occurre about a half hour after the time rpj ported by the Ballantynes, but he refused to comment. A Resume Search For Gim Hickey and his assistants went out again today to the spot on Murphy farm where Walter Treadway Hunt- ington's body was found a week ago and on orders of State’s Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn began another search for the pistol and the slug which caused the student® death. The case, & week old today, was o nearer solution than on the day the body was found, a bullet hole in the head. To Hickey and Alcnr‘n the missing weapon is the only link needed to close the chain of lulcm_e evidence and the detective and his assistants, working again with mag- hetic irons, picks and shovels, prod- ded the lot, soaked with the waterd of a rain that fell several hours '",f fight and early today, for the “key’ to the investigation. 3 ‘While they worked, Coroner J. Gilbert Calhoun indicated his belief Young Huntington died a homicide, for “I am ndt reconciled to the fail- ure to find the missing pistol and 1 do not believe some one not con- nected with the case picked it up #nd now fails to report it out of ear.” f ’\lm Refuses to Break Silence Dr. Henry N. Costello, medical examiner for Hartford, adhering to his interpretation of the medical evi- dence reiterated his opinion young Huntington was slain, while State’s Attorney Alcorn again refused to comment. [ Alcorn said: *T have given my word that 1 would not talk about the case and I intend to keep my promise.” He refused to say whether he had talked to Dr. Costello or to Coroner Calhoun. Aleorn has apparently taken active charge of the c for he holds numerous conferences with his de- tective, the latter emerging from them to renew activity in a case which he had said he had closed two dayy 0. Today Hickey said. “The case never can be considered closed if the pistol is not found.” and this was understood to be a reflection of what his superior had faid to him. Hickey | and his assistants made a futile search for the weapon and slug yes- terday their work being halted by rain and night fall. “His failure to find the weapon.” | said Coroner Calhoun, “is the weak- est point in the suicide theory. Hickey has no reason to assume that a passerby has the pistol. He has talked with everyone who had occa- sion to pass the scene of the shoot- ing and he is convinced not one of these picked up the weapon. In ad- dition, the assumption that a work- man or any other individual had rea- #on to gn off the roadway and enter the lot is faise. 1 am keeping an open mind in the case." It may he many days, the coroner said, before he nuld make a repor: of his own findings in the case. Hickey Dentes R w of Clue After another conference with Al- corn today. Hickey denied obtaining a bit of evidence which he had ad- mitted finding. This was the hand- kerchief with one spot of blood said to have been found in the “blue coach” of Mrs. Mary Clark Hunting- | ton. widowed mother of Walter. This coach had been driven Clare Kennelly, former chauffer the family, even after he tonger in its employ. Hickey mitting the finding of the ha chief, had scofied ing it was his impression ever nad used it had «havi; ut or A pimple he denied the siory He repeated his st very. fact that Hun his watch at home when s «aid, he might have gone to keep appointment and would have needed a watch was convincing student was a suicide. Attesting 1o this too, in the detective’s opinion, is the presence of the two automo- bile operators’ licenscs, one for 1925, by for no in ad- ker- W at its value, say- Wine togciher. ment that had lef e Hickey learned | But today | proof the | | | | | |the other for 1929, in the youth's | pockets. These. says Hickey, were put there for the sole purpose of identification, and by the student himself. Not Interested in Funeral Hickey says that he was not in- formed of the funcral for the young student, held secretly last Friday |afternoon after it had been scheduled | Saturday, but though he knew noth- ing of the change in the family's plans, he thought the fact had no | meaning, and he said he was not in- | terested. He denied reports he had deputy sheriffs at the funeral to keep watch on some possible development in the case. 50 NEW NEWBERS | "~ ONC. FC.

Criticism of New Britain action in not forging ahead with its study into methods of sewage disposal, contained in the annual report of the state water commission, of which George T. Kimball of this city is a member, has not disturbed Mayor Paonessa, who said today he does not favor large expenditures by New Britain until Hartford has taken definite steps. The mayor today disclosed that agents of the state departments have met him several times and made efforts to have the work rush- ed. He made it known that he put the question of what Hartford is doing, to these men, and their an- swer that the Capital City is “work- ing on it,” was not satisfactory. The mayor regards Hartford as the chief offender in stream pollu- tion and feels it is an injustice to the taxpayers of this city to con- when there are municipalities doing more to contaminate the streams and spending nothing to remedy the condition.

Invited to Inspect City “While you are here in New Brit- ain, we want you to spend some time touring our city. Visit those indus- tries of which we are so proud, and take a trip through our beautiful parks. Be sure to visit the World War memorial in Walnut Hill park. In my opinion there {s but one memorial greater than ours and that is far in the west. It is my hope that every city in the country will crect & memorial to those honored men who died for us. ~ “You arc members of a great er- der. 1 am a fraternal man myself, holding membership in as many lodges as the ordinary man can af- ford. Rits at 18th Amendment “Every fraternal man should make it his aim to make this a better country to live in. Just a few weeks ago, many of you no doubt will re- call reading it, our president, speak- ing to the Associated Press, express- ed a view that we h more crime in this country than in almost any other country in the world. Let us unite in an effort to reduce it. “I am something of an odd fellow myself. I have strong views and do not hesitate to express them. It is my honeet belief that the 18th amendment has had more to do with this condition of crime than any- thing else. Public officials are un- der oath *to follow up and enforce every city ordinance, state statute and every rule of the constitution of the United States, but I hold te the claim that we also have the privilege of expressing our views. “I do not believe that the 1§th amendment has been of benefit to this country! Good Whiskey Obtainable “To tell the truth, men in public oftice and politiclans have opportu- nity to get a good glass of whiskey almost any time they want it; can those outside of politics do that? We read daily of men in public life link. ¢d with liquer scandals, having li- quor in their possession or being sent to prison. We hear of young boys and girls going to dances with hip flasks. We didn’{ have any of those things in other days. “1 read a short time ago of a min- ister who arrived in this country from England. When he was told li- quor should not be imbibed in this country, because it is a sin, he ask- ed what made it a sin. He told it is a sin because it is agai the constitution of the United States, and he answered: ‘I drank liquor in Eng- land and it wasn't & sin. If it is not a sin in England, it is not here.’ “If you think prohibition is = good thing, be outspoken, if vou think it is not, be equally outspoken, and then we will return to normal conditions.” The mayor closed his remarks by repeating his welcome and his well wishes for a successful convention.
