MCMW: Mu—n—h-&d—c—- Sitind ased Comesbvent Effecis of Negligence of Connect- Spaifls mCumdNMGumdflmDWt— Recommendations Made. Coroner Franklin H. Brown complet- d his decision in the investigation of the death of Conductor Maurice J. Spottswood at New London, November 15, on Wednesday, and says: “1 find that the death of Maurice J. Spottswood was due to the combined and concurrent effects of the nesli- gence of the Connecticut company and the city of Norwich Gas and Electric department, and recommend a careful inspection of all the overhead con- struction of these departments in this Jjurisdiction, and the elimination and correction of all faults therein that might lead to similar fatal accidents in the futur Not Criminal Negligence. Coroner Brown went into the matter thorouglly and based his finding up- on the testimony of the witnesses call- ed before him. While he findsgboth the Connecticut company and tha and Electric department negligent, he | stated that it was not criminal negli- | gence, as it was not intended by either | to do harm or injury. There was a strong wind that morning. Ordinarily there would be no trouble from the wires as they were, but the construc tion was such as to allow the wind to make the cross which caused the fa- tallity. The coroner finds that Conductor Spottswood was killed while using a | telephone belonging to the Connecti- | cut company, which was one of a se- ries on the telephone line of the com- pany, the others being located at the power house of the company, at the car barn, at the residence of W. J. Ma- lone, line superintendent of the com- | pany at New Leondon, and in this city at the car barn; the station in Frank- | Jin square, the residence of John H. | Humphrey, line superintendent here, | and also on poles at intervals between Norwich and New London. z Trouble on Line. Suparintendent Humphrey started out to find the trouble when the tel- aphone beils began ringing about seven o'clock ana indicating trouble. on the line. e found the switchboard afire at the local car barn. He then went to Taftville ‘and inspected the line, and_returned, but found nothing un- til he reached West Thames street, where the telephone wire was down fenr the schoolhouse, having been burned off and being still alive. Going to Shipping street, they found a city clectric wire crossed with a telephone wire of the company, about fiur feet from the crossarm, the wire having swung and caught on an insulator to which the telephone wire was attach- ed. ! A ew London, that morning, at the Wires Ciose Together. There are two sets of poles in Ship- ping street, and the distance between the poles where the electric light wire crossed the telaphone wire is 143 fet. The electrie lght wire which fouled the telephone wire, was the middle of three stmilas wires. The nearest elec- tric light wire and the telephone wire are but 11 inches apart, while the tel- wéone ‘Wire and the electric twire ch crossed are 23 inches apart. The sag of the clectric wire at that point is about 5 feet .9 inches. The electric light wire was No. 6 insulated copper wire with a voltage of 300 while the telephore wire was No. 10 iron. The insulation on the electric wire was burned off. Two Recsived Shocks. power house, two men recelved shocks | when they took up the receiver about 5 as the telephons rarg. A pole vas set afire and an insulator was burned through. Acting Starter Spottswood took hold of the combi nation transmitter and receiver and s instantly killed. His right hand was burned and he was standing on the wet walk when he received the shock. The telephone he was using belonged to the Connecticut company and was not provided with safety ap- pliances to guard againet dangerous currents_af clectricity that might get cn telephone wires. Such safeguards are now in use and have proved effec- tive. Line Construction Bad. There is cbjection to the line con- struction on Shipping streeg in city, inasmuch as it has two scts of sies on the same side of the street, rrying electric light wires and tele- phone and feed wires. The sag of the electric light wirs of over flve feet was excessive. This wire was too slack and swung with a strong wind against the telephone wire, No Safety Devices. The distances of 11 and 28 inches be- tween the two lines is not sufficient, says the coroner, as there should be nt lenst forty inches between any high tension line and a telephone line. There were no safety devices on the telephone system, while the Southern New. England corpany has most reli- able and safe devices. This showed want of care and skill Other Accidents May Happen. The wirlng at places is not what it should have been and there are other places here and in New Leondon which should be given attention, as they are dangerous, ind other accidents are lig- ble to hapren.

HINE EXPLAINS. New Britain School Pupil be Transferred Too. May The explanation of Secretary Hiné of the state board of education as to the transfer of the Waterbury senior pupils at the New Haven Normal school to Danbury is along the same &eneral lines as the statement of Prin- cipal Morril He states that it is possible that the new Waterbury pu- pils at the New Britain school will be transferred later also. Mr. Hine explained that the object of the move was to better conditions for the pupils: “The New Haven is crowded,” he sald, “and it is there fore impossible to give the attentiop to the outside pupils that they sho investigating and considering the ques- tion, thought it would be to the ad- vantage of the Waterbury pupils to have them attend the Danbury school, where it is believed more can be done for them than in New Haven, which school, as I have already said, is overcrowded.” ‘The New Britain building is not overcrowded,” Mr. Hine added, “and the order as issued does not apply to the Waterbury students attending that school. It may be, though, that an- other order. will be issued before the first of the year, including the Water- bury students who attend the New Britain school. According to Mr. Hine, nothing can be done about paying the transporta- tion of pupils until the general as- sembly adopts such a resolution, and make an appropriation to cover the expense.—Waterbury Republican Going to Californi Mrs. Herbert Barnes, Mrs. E.

Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 13—No trace of Harry W. Waldron, the runaway member of the jury in the second trial of Dr. B. Clark Hyde, alleged slayer of Colonel Thomas H. Swope, has been found. A dozen or more \ues were investigated by officers to- day but tonight County Marshal Joel Mayes sald he was “up against a stone wall.” Hope that Waldron will be found soon practically has been abandoned by Prosecutor Conkling and Judge Porterfleld. It is uncertain when the other jurymen shall be freed. The feature of the case which is worrying the state’s attorney 1is the announced intention by Dr. Hyde's at- torneys to assert, if the jury is dis- charged, that the life of the defendant cannot again be placed in jeopardy on the charge of killing Colonel Swope. Judge Porterfield does not think the second trial has jeopardized the life of Dr. Hyde. However, the prose- cution desires to be certain that the court'’s views are correct before it agrees to theedischarge of this jury. Even if Waldron should return and resume his duties as a juror, attorneys for the defense say, his action In ab- senting himself from the other jurors twelve men in a case must be kept together from the beginning to the would be sufficient ground for re- versal. the state law says_that the end of it. Judge Porterfield went to the Dal- dron home today and made a per- sonal investigation of the visit of a strange man to the house last night. This man was ~reported to have brought news from the missing juror. Mrs. Waldror: satisfled the judge that such was not the case.
