DANIELSON AND DANIELSON There were no developments during Friday to change the opinion of offix cials that the attempt to wreck a freight train two and & half miles south of here late Wednesday night was the work of Charles Jencks, who met death in the crash between the ties he is belleved (o have placed upon the rails and the big locomotive that crashed into the ob- struction. Not & new thing in the case developed during Friday. Coroner Arthur G. Bill shares the suicide theory held by other So, too, does Medioal Examiner George M. Burroughs, who, nevertheless, sées an unusual cireum- stance In the ability of Jencks, who is represented as being in exceedingly poor health and suffering from a seri- ous heart allment, to move railroad ties from where they were piled up east of he track and place them on the ralls. The ties weigh closp to 200 pounds each. Thers was no evidence before the vi- einity of the attempted wreck' was tramped up indicate that the tles had been dragged from where they were corded to the track. It appears that they were actually carried. But, as Dr. Burroughs points out, there are times when mentally deranged per- sons develop super human strength for briet periods and it might not be at all imposstble that Jencks, in such & pe- riod, managed to carry the ties himself and put them on the track. Practically new wire such as is used In some cases for clothes lines, was used hing the tles to the track. Where came from has not been ascer- Nelther was anything known up to Friday night of Jencks' movements rom the time that he disappeared from bis home in Providence Monday after- noon up to the time that his mangied body was found lying beside the track where the wreck attempt was made. It Jencks had any compaions while no one has yet been tound who kn anything about them. Jencks may have been meen Wednesday afternoon on the highway between Wauregan and Danielson. Mr. Brown saw a man that answers at least partly Jencks' description. But that is the only thread presented with which to un- rave] the mystery of where Jencks came from just before entering this territory. State police continued to give their at- tantion to the case during Friday, but Afbert S. Field, officer in charge of the local barracks, said that nothing new had developed. Thers is not the aNghtest connection between the attempted wreck and the hol@up. Jencks was 57 years of age and more or less settled and of medium helght. Tho hold-up agent who assault- ed Albest May of Pomfret was a young man, not over 24 years of age, and tall, Friday afternoom, fumeral services for Mrs. Amy A.

Relatives here of Laurent Rol, and all famillar with the case, discount as ri- dleulous the story of the Trio de Death that they are responmsible for the young men's death. Also it may be stated that a word no less deseriptive than cruel can be used in describing the ruthless with which the feelings of rela- tives were disregarded in writing such a letter to Captain Remi Delage of Put- nam, Francis Riley, 61, for many years a resident of Dayville, is dead at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Short. Mr. Riley had been a resident of Danielson prac- tically all of his life. He was unmar- ried. Appended is the annual report of Miss Emma F. Pilling, secretary of the Civic federation: The annual meeting of the Civic Fed- eration brings to a close another suc- cessful year marked by the development o tnc new lines of work, but by definit® accomplishment in those already estab- lished. The wembership the past year has numbered 8 active members, and 20 associate members. There have been nine regular meetings, with an average attendance of 9.6, and one executlve meeting. The report of Miss Boomhower will give in detafl the work that has been done. Aside from the regular nursing work carrfed on, there has been the physical examination of the children in the pub- 1i cschools of the town of XKillingly, which has beén supplemented by educa- tional work of a very practical sort. In the latter the teachers have given most commendable cooperation making possi- ble the accomplishment of results that would otherwise have been unattzinable. It would be most interesting if Space would permit the giving of an account of this correlated work. The tuberculosis work that is being carried on. cannot be overestimatad in its value to this community. As has been stated before this is made possi- ble through the Christmas seal sale which affillates the federation with the State Anti-Tuberculosis sooiety, thus gh ing the serviees of an expert, Dr. Camp- bell, for thé free clinics held each month at the health station. At the first regular meeting of the federation, for the past year, Herbert M. Sedgwick, representative of the state anti-tuberculosis society was present. He spoke in highest praise of the work be- ing done by the local organization, and especially commended the generai effi- citucy shown in the management of its affairs. Mrs, James M. Pa‘ne has been the capsble chairman of the seal sale for the past two years. The work at the health station In connection with the clinics has made ne- cessary the installing of a telephone. This wag provided for at the April meeting. The monthly visit of Miss Boomhower to the town farm has meant much to the inmates of the institution. The Vis- it at New Year's has been made of es- pecial interest by the distribution of gifts, and has been in the nature of a memorial to the late Miss Mary. Dex- ter. By a provision of her will a sum has been left, the income of which is to be used to provide cheer for the town's poor. Miss Boomhower has been named as one of those who have the authority to disburse the money thus provided. At last year, Miss Boomhower coop- erated most helpfully with the Girls’ club in providing Christmas cheer for the. poor and shut-ins of the commu- nity. Only twice during the past year has the federation appealed to the general public for funds.

The federstion also gratefulle ack- nowledges the courteous consideration given by the Windham County Tran- script and the Norwich Morning Bulle- tin in keeping before-the public the work being done by the organization, and in the appreciative estimate of the qual- ity of the service renderéd. The federation is afllated with both’ the state and national association of public health nursing, by which connec- tion it is kept informed as to the work being done elsewhere by organizations similar to its own, A noteworthy addition to this report is the fact that Mrs. E. H. Keach, du ing the seven years that she has served the organization as president, has never been absent from a regular meeting. Measured by the value of the work of the fedeération to this community its membership should number hundreds in- stead of scores, and the unwavering loy- alty of those who are making possible this splendid service, should be an fn- centive to many others, that the future may record even greater things than the Nurse’s Report for May. ‘The nurse's report for May follow: Nurse, Miriam Boomhower, cases car- ried over 5, new cases 15, discharged 12, died 1, still under care 7, numbdar of paying patients 8, number of iroo pa- tients 12, number of nursing visits 142, ry revolvers and the intention of many others not to bother with permits, but just pack along guns they happen to own and use them prom specimen of humanity who happens to in- terfere with their peaceful journeying through the surrounding country. Many hbnest red-blooded men are driv- ing cars owned In this territory and nume bers of these have decided that the Dbert Day against the bandit who tried to beat him up and seal his car has recetv- ed warm praise from hundreds of sourc- es. Herewith, though, it may be well to sound a note of warning to motorists who would defend themselves against villain- bus attacks that they should not lose con- trol of themselves and be too quick with jthe gun that might bark out death for some innocent or unoffending person. All ‘who are encountered on the highways at night or not bandits and too prompt ac- tion with a gun might result in the death of some persdn entirely innocent of any intent at wrong doing. Officials investigating the Trio de Death letter were convinced Friday that it is the work of a bluffer, with clues now in their possession to demonstrase this before long.

PUTNAM Scores of Putnam people who are ap- prehensive, if not really fearful, as the result of reading the letter signed Trio de Death which recently appeared in this colimn of The Bulletin may as well buck up and forget the subject. There are certain things about the letter that stamp the writer as the cheapest kind of a fakir, trading on the fears of timid people. The writer of that letter was declared Friday by an expert investigat- or who has taken up the matter as a downright mean and cowardly liar. His assertion that the death of Laurent Roi of Danielson was caused by the spurious Trio de Death can be clearly demon- strated to be nothing but the most out- rageous buncombe. The Trio de Death did not cause the death of the Roi youth. The Roi youth’s body was in the water for a far longer period than the four days set up by the Trio de Death as the time following his death and the finding of the body, floating, and bloated, on the surface of the Assawaga river at Daniel- son. A surprisingly large percentage of people are chilled with fear, it has de- veloped, as the result of such communica- tions as was received from Norwich by Captain Remi Delage of the Putnam po- lice from the spokesman or letter writer for the Trio de Death, but they are so frightened without reasonable cause, ac- cording to an investigator who is now giving attention to the case with the promise of interesting developments for the alleged Trio de Death in the not dis- tant future. The writer of the fearsome letter may be an objeot of cringing fear on his own account as he faces the con- sequences of his letter writing in the not distant future. Further, it may be stated as an end to be quieting the uneasiness of all commun- ities hereabouts over an unusual series of incidents of the week, that there was ab- solutely no connection between the hold- up of Albert Day of Pomfret and the finding of the mangled body of Charles | presentation of diplomas; ate address, the program being as fol- lows: - Song, Prayer of Thanksgiving, Kremser, high school chorus; prayer, Rev.
