Special to The Evening Journal.
New Castle. oct. 29-Although the eX-
citenent caused by the finding Of thel
body OF Mable woodward has subsided
much sorrow IS still expressed over the
untimeiy end OF the unfortunate young
woman and sympathy felt for her reia-
tives.
Charles II. Clewell finished his con-
nection with the case as soon as the
body was delivered to Coroner's Assistant
Kilmor, and he is not extremely well
pleased with the treatment he was ae-
corded by the latter. When the body was
found Mir. Clewell telephoned Mr.. hil-
mer the fact and requested permission 10
move il TO his undertaking rooms. rms
was granted and the understanding was
that Coroner Mccormick or his assistant
was to come over as early as possible ana
take charge Of It. As a matter of fact
neither tho coroner nor his assistant put
in an appearance. and at II o'clock We'd
nesday, Frank Smith. assistant TO the
coroner's assistant, brought over the
dead wagon and removed the remains TO
tho morgue. About noon Mrs. CleweH
Mrs. Cranston and Mrs. Sterling went to
Wilmington and viewed the body. In con-
versation with Mrs. Clewell Mr.. Kilmer
explained his reason for not taking charge
Of so important a case sooner by saying
that he expected Coroner Mccormick
would act in the matter but the coroner
dld not put In an appearance. Mr.. Kill
iner also insisted that Mr.. Clewell had
teIephoned him that the dead woman was
colored. This statement both Mr.. and
Mrs. Clewell deny and Mr.. Clewen adds
that oven had he done so that it should
have made no difference in the action Of
the proper authorities. AS a result the
body remained for nearly twenty hours
after it had been found without being
viewed or the case looked into by an OH
ciei Of the eoroner's office and then only
by am assistant to an assistant of that
office
