NORWICH. BULLETIN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1912 BURGLARS AT UNCASVILLE MILL Had Two Holes Drilled in Safe Door When Scared Off—Left an Umbrella as Clue—Got in Through Rear Window— Like Crooks Who Operated at Mystic Velvet Mill Wed- nesday Morning. E— An attempt to blow open the safe at the office of the Uncasville Manu- facturing company Thursday night was discovered Friday morning when the office buflding was opened. The burg- lars had gotten no farther than to drill two holes in the safe door near the combination and were then ap- parently scared off. One of the drills they were using broke off. Powder and explosives were found on the floor. There was also an umbrella which was Jeft behind as the only clue. e night was rainy #o that the burglars 2ad some idea of traveling with com. fort as they had provided the umbrella, but left it in their haste to get away. The office building is a small brick bullding standing at some distance from the mill and by the side of the tracks of the Montville trolley line. On the rear of the bullding was a win- dow which had been broken open ,al- lowing a_way of entrance and exit for the burglars with the smallest chance of belng seen ,and there was no one who saw them. The attempt on the Uncasville of- flce has some points of similarity to the atjempted burglary early Wednes- day morning at the Velvet mill at Mystic. Here the purglars blew off the Qoor of the safe and then took to flight without getting into the inside com- partments. The watchman heard the notse of the explosion but made no in- vestigation as he did not suppose the noise had anything to do with the mill.

Carfare Returned to Qut-of-Town Customers Union Clothier ROOM FOR MORE IN NIGHT SCHOOL’S NEW ROOM. Ten Now Registered for Grammar Grade Instruction. The new department of the night school which has now been in opera- tion-a week with a room in Broadway school building and Mrs. George J. Fuller as teacher has grown to a reg- istration of ten from the six pupils} with which it started. This is the sise of class which the town school board feels is justification for conducting the department, but in the minds of the board and the night school principal, Herman Alofsin, 2d, it is far smaller than the number who ought to respond to this opportunity that the town is giving to supriv de- fects of early education which so many suffer by being compelled to leave school under the age of 14 and before completing the Bighth grade. This new night school department aims to supply grammar school in- struction in just the topics that such Duplls have missed through their early withdrawal from school, and it is the hope of School Superintendent E. J. Graham and the town board that the registration will keep on growing to even double what it is now. | The night school in the rooms at the town hall {s malntaining its average attendance of about 65 and all give in- dications that they are earnest seck- ers after knowledge. ENGINEER BLAMED FOR WESTPORT WRECK. Coroner Also Finds That the Cross- ~ over Was Unsafe. Pridgeport, Conn., Nov. 16.—Coroner | John J_Phelan, in his finding on the wreck of the Springfield express on the New Haven railroad in Westport on October 3, made public today, i which seven rsons were killed, finds the dead enginer, George Clark, crim- Inally responsible for the death of Jes- sle Hamllton Ransom, one of the pas- sengers killed, and finds concurring re- sponsibility on the part of the New Haven raliroad for allowing an unsa®e crosssover at that point. He makes & number of recommendations for im- proving the service and insuring greater safety to the traveling public. He finds that the fire extinguishers were in working order, but insufficient to quench such a fire as was caused by the hot coals from the engine box. He further finds that the train crew was insufficlent; that the track equip- ment was worse than on any railroad he examined, but was not responsible | foy the wreck; that steel cars would haVe prevented the fire and subsequent deaths, but that the company is do- ing as well in such equipment as oth- er compenies; that longer cross-overs would have minimized or prevented | possibility of such a wreck; that ths| company had kndwledge of stop de- | vices, and modern rallroading should | recognize such devices. He quotes the recommendations of Coroner Wil- | son on the Federal wreck and of the| interstate commerce commission. The | finding covers 23 typewritten pag2s| and goes into all phases of the case. MISS POWERS’ DEATH DUE TO HEART FAILURE No Indications of Criminality in Bos- | ton Bathtub Fatality. | Boston, Nov. 15.—Marjorie G. Pow- | ers, a stenographer, 26 wears of age, whose body was found in a bathtub at | a local hotel under mysterious circum- stances, yesterday, died of heart fail- ure aceording to Medical Examiner Dr. George B. Magrath. Arthur T. Cummings, aged 65, a prominent mar- ket my and her employer, who had been held on suspicion in connection with the case, was released as soon as the finding of the medical examiner was announced. District Attorney Joseph Pelletier, to whom the medical examiner made his report, issued a statement In which he sald he saw no evidence up- on which to base criminal prosecu- tion. In his statement the district at- torney sald: “Dr. George B. Magrath, the medical examiner, has performed an autopsy upon the bady of Marjorie G. Powers and has reported that in his opinion death was due to natural causes, probably heart failure. There was no evidence of drowning and no physical | condition to justify sulcidal intent.” WOMAN ASSAULTED WITH A HAMMER Life Now Hangs by Thread—Man Has Disappeared. Chicago, Nov. 15—With her life hanging by a thread, an unidentified woman who was mysteriously assault- ed with & machinist's hammer in a downtown hotel last night, still Is unconscious. If she lives, the attend- ing physicians declare it may be four days before she will regain conscious- ness and be able to tell the name of her assaflant and herself. Meantime the police of Chicago and other cities are searching for the man who is belleved to have accompanied the woman from Detroit to this city and registered at the hotel as “Mr. anq Mrs. Remner, Detrolt, Mich.” The only clue thus far discovered is in the bloodstained hammer with which | the blow was struck. Bloody finger- prints on the weapon are being ana- Iyzed by the police. The man who registered at the ho- tel with the woman, according to_the description given by a bellboy, is about six feet tall, weighs 200 pounds, dark complexion, 30 to 35 years old, and had large nostrils and full face. STRAY BULLETS OF |4 MEXICANS KILLED 28 Army Board Investigates Complaints | Along the Boundary. ‘Washington, Nov. 15.—Twenty-three | persons, at least, were Kkilled or badly | ‘wounded on the American.side of the Mexican boundary line, last year, by bullets fired during the fighting be- tween the rebels and the government forces under Madero. This fact was developed by the speclal army board, which has just returned from an in- spection trip to El Paso, Texas, and Douglas, Ariz, where most of the trouble occurred. The board is satisfled that other persons, many.of them Mexicans, re- | celveq lesser injuries which they have not reported. Being charged merely | to investigate and Teport to congrees the extent of the casualtles, the board probably will not undertake to pass | upon the question of whether any American citizen who was injured on the American side of the boundary is entitled to indemnity. MAYOR GAYNOR BLOCKS GRAFT INVESTIGATION Detective Flynn’s” Expense Accounts Held Up and He Quits. Washington, Nov. 15—William J. Flynn, who resigned as chief of the New York division of the United States secret service several months ago to assist the aldermanic commit- tee in Ris investigation of alleged po- lice graft in New York city, will quit the aldermanic committee and return to his federal position on November 20, This sudden end to Mr. Flynn's service with the committee is due, it is stated here today, to the fact that his expense accounts have been held up by Mayor Gaynor. If these ae- counts are not paid, It is sald that Mr. Fiynn will lose personally about $800. New Haven—At the city dispensary last year, 28,960 patients received treatment.
