W. STEVENS ..Charles W. Stevens died Saturday morn! at his home, 181 Mechanic street, Pawcatuck, after an illness of many years. He was born in the town of Westerly, near Bradford, nearly six- ty-one years ago, and when a youth Jjoined the regudar army earning the rank of first sergeant. After his dis- charge fro mthe army,.and a short time afterward he became a member of the New York police force, serving mostly in the Sixth precinct. By rea- son of his intelligence and gigantic stature he was assigned to the Broad- Six Foot, Four Policéman of Broadway, New York, Squad, Re- tired Ten Years Ago—Belief That Special Grand Jury Wednesday May Indict Engineer Mansfield and Perhaps Flagman Coombs—Effort to Prove Sergeant Scott’ Death to be Made Today. —_— DIESAT WESTERLY the ashes and dirt along the tracks. Every effort will be made to locate some part of the body or bones of Sergeant Scott. Medical Examiner Scanlon will today direct operatians in the search for ad- ditional human remains. In this work he will have the cooperation of official mmung the railroad company and lal will be furnished by the com- pany to do the real work by digging over all new work that has been done way squad on duty in the vicinity of | the City Hall square, and he became & notable figure of thgt busy section. Mr. Stevens was six feet, four linches in height, not in the least portly, and in his prime he weighed in at three hundred pounds. During his service on the New York police force he al- ways spent his vacation in Westerly and vicinity and when he was volun- tafily placed on the retired pension list, som ten years since, he purchased a house and lot in Pawcatuck for his permanent residence, near the home of his half-sister. Mrs. Albert Burdick. He leaves his widow. Mr. Stevens was a past master of a Masonic lodge in New York city but at the time of his death he was a mem- ber of Pawcatuck lodge. Burial will be in Hopkinton cemetery. Next Wednesday a special grand jury will be convened a West King- ston court house called in by the at- torney general on the basis of testi- mony taken before Coroner Everett A. Kingsley in Westerly, in secret session. The coroner says he has not completed his investigation, some more testimony being necessary to complete the record. Attorney Fred Otis third Assistant at- torney general, assisted at the coro- ner’s inquest, and the assembling of a grand jury is made upon his repre- sentation to the attorney general based upon the testimony. It is understood that evidence will be introduced to the grand jury to secyre an indictment against Engineer Mansfield, and per- haps Flagman Coombs, as being re- sponsible for the deaths in the Brad- ford wreck last Monday night. The jurors will be residents of Washington county and those drawn from West- erly are George W. Woodward, James H. Bishop, Peleg B. Briggs, John E. Gallagher and Thomas F. Saunders. There is reason to believe that Ser- geant Scott, of the Oné Hundred and Forty-Sixth company, Coast Artillery corps, stationed at Fort Wright, Fish- ers’ Island, was burned to death in the Bradford wreck last Monday night. He had been on furlough and also of- ficial business to Boston and was due to arrive on the local train that was run down by the Gilt Edge express. The serbeant bore an excellent army record and was always prompt in re- turning after pass or furlough and his failure to return created much uneasi- ness among his comrades. Captain Christy sent a sergeant to Westerly to make special inquiry of Medical Exam- iner Scanlon as to the bodies found in the wreck. The remains of four were found and these was identified beyond question by articles near what was left of the bodies, all being almost com- pletely burned. As the time neared for publishing Sergeant Scott as being absent without leave and public notice being sent out charging him with desertion and re- ward offered for his arest and return, Station Agent Smith, of Westerly, learned that there was proof that Ser- geant Scott was on the train and prob- ably burned to death. It was first learned that one of the injured now in Braford, Miss Lucy Smith, of Newport, declared that there was a soldier in civilian clothes on the train in the rear car. Later Mr. Smith discovered that some charred papers picked up at possession of Sergeant Scott. He further learned that these charred Bradford on the night of the disast- er had to do with orders at Fort ‘Wright and were undoubtedly in the papers were in possession of C. B. Kelley, superintendent of the Western Union Telegraph office Boston. These facts were Chief of Police Thomas John R. Wilcox, sheriff of Washington Elle-d before . Brown, and county. The Boston police heads were communicated with and request made that formal and legal demand be serv. ed upon Mr. Kelsey for he delivery of the papers which he picked up as a souvenir, and without thought that they would tend to prove that Sergeant Scott was in the railroad wreck, and saved his excellent record from being smirched with the charge of desertion. On the night of the disaster Medical Examiner Scanlon and many willing as- sistants, were unable to find but the trunks of four human beings, and these have been identified a8 Miss Janet Mc- Gregor Clark, Thomas Boardman, Will- iam A. Barber and Howard A. Parte- lo. These were found in a mass of burned material and it is possible that the body of Sergeant Scott may have been almost completely burned, and perhaps unobserved by the diligent searchers in the mass of burned mate- rial, went to the workmen who were clearing the wreckage and buried in Florence Labonte, Mr. and Mrs. James Cafferty of Greeneville. Mrs. John Mercier and sons, Harold and Ernest, spent the Baster holidays in New London. Miss Bvelyn Greenwood spent the week end with relatives and friends in Westerly, R. T. Miss Lillian Barber of Arctic, R. I, is srending a few days with Miss Agnes Peltier. STONINGTON Judge Frank H. Hinckley held a session of the town court, Saturday and passed sentence upon three men who were taken in by the zealous po- lice officers of the town and in court charged with the serious offence of in- toxication, and In a licensed town. John Roberts, from parts unknown was fined $2 and costs, Fred Chappell of Noank $5 and costs and Charles Han- son $3 and costs. James L. Leahey, who served ap- prenticeship under the directfon of Je- rome S. Anderson, Jr., in the office of the Stonington Mirror, is on vacation at his old home In the borough. He is now foreman of a printing office in ‘Watertown, Mass.

They will make a tour of the city and visit Fort Trumbull. Dr. C. M. Willams and family of New York are at their summer home 1 Wadawannuck square. Miss Hope Haley is visiting an aunt in New London ,and Miss Constance Is visiting her grandmother in Providence. red papers found by Mr. Kelly were not in the possession of Sergeant Scott as it is ynderstood that the ser- geant was not deputized to carry any official papers from Fort Adams to Fort Wright and it is evident that the al Examiner Scanlon is investigating the report that parts of a human body was buried by railroad laborers on the day following he railroad wreck. The matter is also being investigated by of- ficers of the railroad company. In a conference with Mr. Belknap, chief of the safety appliance division of the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion, Congressman O’Shaughnessy urg- ed the passage of a law which would provide for the use of safety appli- ances that would prevent wrecks such as occurred at Bradford. The congress- man says that Mr. Belknap has recommended the passage of a bill in- troduced by Representative Esch, of ‘Wisconsin, which seeks to have iIn- salled appliances which would give proper warning to men in charge of trains and enable them to prevent wrecks. ¥ Local Laconics.
