Suspect Rebbery of Dead. The tension of the nerve-racked passen- gers on the tran as well as the many oocupants of cars that haited as they came along was broken for a time by an incident that aroused the ire of about everyone present. A Brava passenger on the train, some time after the accident occurred. was observed crawling out from under the car where Phillips’ mangled body lay. “Stop him!” wax the crv of a man in the crowd who alleged that he saw the Brava pick up Phiilips’ pocket- book and extract the money that it con- tained. There w4s & rush fer the dark- skinned foreigner, who vehementiy p: tested that he had done no wrong. Event- naily the Brava was pug aboard the tra which he attemnted to leave wnen it reached Moosup, but was hustled back on again, with the inten of imprisoning him to await trial when the train reached Willimantie. He was not found when the train reached that cit Autemeblle Tern to Pieces. Persons who inspected the Ford that figuged in the wreck marveled at the man- ner in which it was torn to pieces. It appears to have been squarely across the teack when it was hit. Persons who have seen scores of wrecked cars are a unit in declaring that the machine was the worst | smashed by far of any they ever looked at. It was iiterally torn to shreds. Parts of the machine were carried hundreds of feet down the track. The accident hannened at ths same epot where an Oocum woman lost her life on Sundav.
