Annie Davis Tells How william Godfrey
OF Reading. Conn, Died.

Annie Davis Tells How william Godfrey
OF Reading. Conn.,, Died.
DANsURY, Conn, March 26.-t now
seems almost certain that VIM. Godfrey,
who died In Reading, Monday night un-
der suspicious circumstances, was MUIR
dered. Annie Davis, at the coroner's in
quest yesterday, broke down and con-
fessed that Edward Walton killed him.
After the discovery by the doctors that
Godfrey's skull was fractured, there was
little doubt that there had been foul play:
Walton and the woman at first claimed
that Godfrey fell in fit.
Annie Davis says she met Walton Mon
day afternoon as he was driving by the
house with a load OF wood. He asked her
TO ride with him, and they stopped at the
house and got some cider. She went
home and early in the evening Walton
came in while she and Godfrey were to-
gether.
The woman noticed that an ugly ut
was coming over Walton, but she did not
fear him. About 10 o'clock she left the
house and was gone only three minutes.
When she was coming in she heard n
noise which sounded as IL the men were
fighting. She hurried and found God
frey sitting on the edge OF the lounge,
holding his head in his hands.
"What's the matter?" the woman
asked. Godfrey did not answer but fell
over on the floor dead.
Whalton told her TO say that he died in a
fit. She told him she would would not tell
about 1t, and they agreed upon story.
Walton made a significant statement
early in the evening, and il may cost him
his life, IL the woman's story is believed.
In one of the ugly moods he asked God
frey ''are you going to work tomorrow ?'
Godfrey answered eyes"
"Well. you won't go to work tomor-
row." Walton replied in very peculiar
way.
II Walton said this, as the woman says
he did, he evidently intended to murder
Godfrey and went TO the house for that
purpose. He chose the only moment
when they were alone, and that is anoth-
er fact that will weigh heavily against
him.
The weapon with which the fatal blow
was struck has not been found. Walton
is confined in Bridgeport Jail, where he
was taken Wednesday afternoon from
this city. He will be brought TO Reading
today or Tuesday, and taken before JUS
tice Shaw for hearing on the charge OF
murder.

owing to the prevalence of dense fog, the
