THE NEW HAVEN MYSTERY
Charles A. Edwards Believed by
Coroner to Have Been a Suicide,
Needed Money Coming to His Wife From
Killer E~state-Pistol and Poison
Found in Back Yard.

New Haven, Conn.-Oficials investl-
eating the death of Charles A. Ed
wards arc more fully convinced than
ever that Edward, died by his W
hand.
They believe they have discovered a
motive fol-. Edwards suicide, although
the relatives and friends Of Edwards
and the public still thinks Edwards
was murdered.
To bear out the Coroner's theory
that it was a case of suicide, because
of financial difficulties, it has been
learned that very recently Edwards
made several Intellectual attempts to
get a portion of his wife's share from
the estate OF Mrs. Abigail Hitler. his
mother-iu-law, who died last NoVem
Der.
There are those who hold the view
that Edwards planned his ending so as
to create the belief that he had been
killed by some Il who had blocked
his plans to secure 4 part of Mrs. Hill
ler's property.
When Edwards death was first men
toned to Allan MaXcy Hitler. his BROTH
er-in-law, Hitler said if the authorities
wanted to find a motive for Edwards
death they should investigate his hnan-
ciai affairs.
According to the Coroner the first
sign to support the suicide theory was
discovered when Detective Donnelly
turned over some leaves in the yard
and unearthed a whisky flask labeled
rock and rye. He found that it con-
tanned a small quantity of laudnaum.
Detective Owen Daley began a thor
ough search of the stairways leading
from Edwards chamber to the base
ment. On the stairway. with a high
power electric light. Detective Daley
found blood stains that led almost all
the way from the rear door to the up
stairs chamber.
With this evidence in favor Of the
suicide theory Coroner Mix and the
detective started a new search for the
pistol.
The detectives, with a rake, went
carefully over the rear lot and finally
came upon the pistol, the handle stick
ing out of the ground. 1t looked as
though it had been thrown and had
struck the soft earth, muzzle forward.
almost burying itself. Two Of the
chambers were empty and the calibre
was the same as that of the bullet In
Edwards head.
Then a hole in the back door was eX-
amined, and it just fitted n bullet from
the pistol, showing that the first shot
had gone through the jamb of the door.
Coroner Mix and those aiding him
were then pretty well satisfied that
Edwards had shot himself.
The Coroner said he would continue
his search to find where Edwards pro-
cured the revolver and the poison.

and Investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed Of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1913 she married Isaac Pinkham,
q builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbo, natures W remedies
calling in a physician only in specially
urgent cases. By tradition and ex-
perience many Of them gained a won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods Of
all kinds; so, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses Of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi-
zines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was a rare combina-
ton Of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
to the female sex, and Lydia L. Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this 40 far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as a
labor of love.
But IN 1879 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when the Centen-
NAL year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source

Fig. /, which represents cross section
of bottom of grain stack ready for the

One of the most important things to
remember is to keep the stack highest
in the center and as solid as possible.
The stacking should be done with a
fork. The old way of going around on
the knees and handling every bundle
with the hands is out of date. When
the operator uses fork it is not neces-
sary for him to go close to the outside
thus leaving it loose with plenty OF
room to settle down. The harder he can
tramp the center the better.
When the stack is high enough to be-
gin drawing in, an extra layer OF bun
dies should be laid. commencing well to
the inside of the outer row. This is
necessary in order to make the center
high enough to give the bundles on the
outer row a slant of at least twenty de-
crees Fig. . shows the bundles Of the
