— DANIELSON The terribly mangled body of the man found lying beside the railroda track at a point where an attempt was made to wreck a freight train on the New Haven road, two and a half miles south of here, late Wednesday night was identified Thursday as that of Charles Jencks, 67, who has been missing from his home in Providence since Monday and whose rel- atives have been searching far and wide for him, even advertising his disappear- ance in the newspapera. Relatives came here from Providence late Thursday aft- ernoon und after viewing the body at the undertaking rooms of L. E. Kenne- dy declared that the dead man is Jencks. Jencks, it appears, formerly lived in Danielson, but how he came to be in this territory was a matter that had not been cleared up Thursday. It was stated here that he bas been an inmate of an institu- tion for the insane for a considerable period of years and that some two or three years ago he was discharged as no longer in need of treatment. Officials who have been in close touch with the case from the outset were in- clined Thursday afternoon to the be- lief the Jencks was solely responsible for the attempt to wreck the train, probably as a spectacular adjunct to committing sulcide This official conclusion had been arrived at after a careful study of all the facts and information that had been red from investigation of the case and a study of all details observed at the point where the wrecking attempt was a clue to the dead man's iden- obtained when the torn and s undertaing rooms, in the e of several officials, in order that a close examination of the body might be made. “C.

Mrs. Jencks broke down and wept bitterly when shé saw the mangled remains of her husband. She said that he left home Monday after- noon while she was out for an hour and that she had not seen nor heard from him until Thursday's message came through from Danielson telling of his death in such a strange manner. Mr. Jencks, she said, has been in poor health, suffering from a heart ailment, and upon the advice of his physicians had been taking short walks. Her theory is that he left Providence Monday to walk to Webster, where his mother, Mrs. Mary Jencks of 53 Schofield avenue lves, that he went astray and wandered into .this territory. He was in a weakened condi- tion when he left home, Mrs. Jencks said, and she was unable t6 explain how he 'would be able to muster sufficient stren to pile heavy railroad ties on the track. With the permission of Coroner G. Bill, the body was removed to Provi- dence Thursday afternoon and the fun- eral is to be held on Sunday. Jencks was born in Danielson, but has not lived here for many years. He was a kindly man and of excellent habits. His wife was Miss Myrtie Jencks of Danielson before her marriage to Mr. Jencks. They have two children, W. Leroy Jencks and Ethel Jencks Dodge, both of Providence. Mrs. Jencks identified both hats found by the police as belonging to her husband. Her idea is that he took both along so that he might change his straw hat in case he encountered wet weather. The rain coat and fur gloves found by the police were identified by Mrs. Jencks as the property of a, member of the household where they live at Providence. The annual ball game between the members ‘of Killingly High school Alum- ni Association and Killingly High school baseball team is scheduled for Friday aft- ernoon, June 23. Alumni’ members who wish to be included in the lineup have been asked to notify Carroll B\ Allen as soon as possible. The Alumnl Association will tender its annual reception to the graduating class Friday evening, June 23, in the state armory. There will be a formal reception to the class from 8 to 8.45 o'clock, dur- ing which time a concert will be given by the orchestra. The grand march will start at 8.45. The members of the committee on dues are: Sherwood B. Potter, Rene Caron, Howard G. Franklin, Harry J. Hyde, Clinton Cleveland, Marjorie I Gaffney. Cards from non-members may be obtain- ed from the committee. heavy fence wire to the rails is more or less a matter of uncertainty. If Jericks worked alone in piling up the barrier that he probably expencted would diich the train he did a man’s size job, for the discarded ties were large and heavy and the night unusually sultry. The especial- ly puzzling feature of the case is the wire marks around Jencks' neck. These marks are cut down into the flesh and would indicate that a noose of the same kind of wire that was used to lash the ties to the track was looped around the dead man’s neck. This led to a theory— which still holds in some minds, but not in official quarters—that Jencks was strangl- ed and later placed by some one on the pile of railroad ties that might have sent a lighter locomotive than the ponderous fréighter that crashed against it off the rails and into the ditch. Another assumption is that Jenckes, in his unbalanced state of mind, placed a loop of wire around his own neck and hitched himself to the ties as a part of his horrible and elaborate program of passing out of this life with a train wreck as a sensational feature of his going. Certain, in any event, is the fact that a man wearing shoes with rubber heels dld much walking back and forth between a pile of old tles corded beside the track and the track itself exactly at the point where the obstruction was placed on the rails. The heels of these shoes supposed- ly belonging to the dead man, had pe- cullar markings. It would appear that he had removed them from his feet rather than that they were torn off when the train struck the plle of ties, for the shoes were in good condition when found, though Jencks' right foot was partly torn off. One readily can, in considering the facts, incline to the suicide theory, un- usual as were all the attendant circum- stances. Those who believe in the murder the- ory and have the cruel wire marks around the dead man's meck to point to in support of their contention that the man was strangled are without support- ing evidence. Up to late Thursday aft- ernoon no one had been found here who had during Wednesday seen Jencks i the territory. There is nothing at the place on the railroad where he was killed to in- dicate that there had been anyone with him or of a struggle prior to the work- ing out of the train wrecking plan. Yat two hats, both of which might have be- longed to Jencks were found with his coat and vest, and, again, one of the hats might have belonged to a companion. At daylight Thursday morning State Officers Albert S. Field and Arthur W. Williams, accompanied by railroad police and other officers, returned to the spot where the attempt was made to wrak the train and were Successful in a search for garments belonging to Jencks that were missing when his body was found lying beside the track. £ They found a rain coat, a suit coat a vest and two hats—a straw and a Fe- dora. In the pocket of the vest was a good quality watch. These garments were found near a swampy Diece of land about 100 feet distant from the track These finds were later turned over te Corner A. G. Bill and were later identi- fled by Mrs. Jencks as the property of her husband. Disposing of the peculiar fact that two hats were found—and a demented man concededly might have car- ried an extra hat in roaming about the country—there was nothing about, the clothing. to furnish a clue to what trans- pired before the piling of ties upon the | track was understaken. In the present status of the case, one's Xothing new pertaining to the holdup of Albert Day, of Pomfret, developed during Thursday. The state police were exerting themselves to -locate the man who attempted one of the moOst sensa- tional stunts recorded in this territory for-a long time. One thing is certain, and that is thaf the man who tried to hold up Day and is now suffering from a sore head. Day said Thursday morning. “After I got possession of the black jack I hit him just as hard as he hit me and I hit him several times.” Deputy Sheriff Frank Tillinghast of Central Village was here Thursday work- on the case. Miss Marjorle Collins of Wray, Colo- rado, aniece of Mr. and Mrs. F. O.

There wag an undercurrent of uneasiness in the city Thursday morning when The Bul- letin first brought the news of the crimes and the reproduction of the letter of the death trio. Already the police have had applications by automobilists who wish permits to carry revolvers and they ex- pect more such appNeations. Those who put credence in the peculiar letter writ- ten to the police ask how it came that the writer knew the name of the Wood- stock boy unless he was familiar wita the affair which the boy told the police; for In The Bulletin’s story the boy's name was withheld. The situation was the talk of the city all day and caus- ed some disquietude on the part of au- tomobile drivers who have to be out late at night. Captain Remie Delage hag given mem- bers of the night police force orders to hold up all unknown people found about the streets at a late hour at night and to detain them if they cannot give 2 good account of themselves.

Marjorie Rambeau's expressive coun- tenance lit up as she uttered those word: “Mother love,” the most celebrated emo tional acress of the American stage and screen continued, “is the most magnifi- cent thing in life—it is the driving force behind every worthwhile impulse.” And Miss Rambeau should know. It was as the mother in the noted stage suc- cess, “The Fortune Teller,” that she rounded out a career already brilllant with moteworthy achlevements. The critics were unanimous in praising her charact- erization as the flnest contribution to the American stage since Mrs. Fiske and Mrs. Leslie Carter. Miss Rambeau's work was on such a high plane of excellence that it was de- cided to immortalize it by transferring it to the screen. Albert Capellani, a fam- ous director, was assigned the task of production. The result is the most not- able contribution of its sort to the art of the silent drama: —_— An Immortal Picture The picture, those who have seen it say, tells a morality story in an immort- al way. It has been released by Robert- son-Cole, the well known firm of mo- tion picture producers and distributors, and will be seen at the Broadway theatrs Saturday and Sunday. Because of the popularity of the star, and the beauty and appeal.of the story, the management has arranged to extend the run of the picture longer than the usual super-specials. “The Fortune Teller” {s a powerful story with compelling situations. It will not detract from the suspense interest to divulge that the themé—mother love— is inextricably bound up with . psychic phenomena, a subject which Sir Oliver Lodge, the noted scientist and spiritualist, has done s0 much to popularize as a study. The narrative abounds with human in- { terest situations rich in dramatice expres- sion. It tells of regenration where none seemed possible, and the 'influence of 1 mother love in the upbringing of a child. |1t tells eloquently of the triumphy of mother love over material things, over science, jealousy and deviltry. It tells a story which the stage with its limitations could not tell. A comedy and news weekly will also be shown with this seven reel stupendous production. Free Concert at Plaut-Cadden's. It is expected that a record crowd will be at the Plaut-Cadden store this aft- ernoon from 4 to 5 o'clock to hear the special free concert which this company 315 BILLION GALLONS WORLD OIL OUTPUT Texas Company is Example of Great, Steady Growth of Petroleum Industry. While it is interesting to read such figures as the entire world's production of petroleum from 1857 to 1918, which totals 315 billion galions, and while it is sig- nificant to learn that the United Sattes has produced 62 per cent. of this entire world production, still it seems cven more interesting and more human to bring the down to the production of one of the great American oil companies. A typical! example of this kind would be .the Texas Company and surely it is an Interesting fact to learn that this company has grown from 160,000 gallons of gasoline per day to 1,000,000 galions It is also interesting to note that in ten years the consumption of lubricating oils produced by the Texas Company has increased from 300,000 gallons a month to 17,500,000 gallons per month. The Texas company is one of the lead- ers in the petroleum industry. Before 102 the company did not exist, but in the last 20 years the demand for its products has Increased so extensively that the company now operates more than two thousand five hundre# motor trucks, tank trucks and delivery trueks The com- pany has refinerfes and terminals at strategic points throughout the country, and gets its supplies from thousands of its own well operating in fields produc- ing the choicest crude petroleum. This crude petroleum is high refined in the big, complete, modern refineries of the Texas company, and sold throughout the country through thousands of Texaco dealers. The Texas company’s products, includ- ing gasoline, motor ofls, engine oils, kero- sene and mill lubricants of all kinds, are distributed widely in this district, Tex- aco gasoline is known as the volatile gas- oline because of the readiness with which it gives up its power, and Texaco Motor Olls are known by their clear golden color and their full body which gives com- plete lubrication. — Breed Theatre Awakened to the realization that the girl he has sent to destruction is his own daughter, Nel Neison, captain of “The Lair,” is aroused to herculean efforts o effect her rescue.
