New Britain Man to
 Be Hanged In Dublin

New Britain. Dec. 29.-Word was re- ceived in this city to-day of the con viction of William Scanlon, formerly of New Britain, of the crime of mur- der in Dublin, Ireland. Scanlon, who is a cit zen of the United States, was sentenced to be hanged in Dublin. January A. It was his third trial and it lasted several days.
 Copies of Dublin papers just receiv- ed in giving the particulars of the convicted man state that he was for- merly a citizen of New Britain, Conn. The crime for which Scanlon' was con victed was committed in Munster. He had two trials in his own county and there was a disagreement each time. A motion for change of venue was granted and Scanlon was taken to Dublin for his third trial.
 The evidence against him was who'll " circumstantial. The victim of the was~ found strangled to death in a wood reached by a lonely path. The principal witnesses were two men who saw Scanlon walking along the road with the woman. They saw the pair disappear on the path which led through the wood. Since the first trial both of the w tnesses named who were long legal fight on the, admissability of their testimony at the third trial. Scanlon was finally convicted in Dub lin and the time for his execution set for January 4.
 Scanlon, as stated was formerly a member of the regular army of the United States, He served in the Phil .ppines, and was wounded in an en- gagement for which he was receiving a pension. He lived in this city sev- en or eight years ago and boarded with a family on Myrtle street. He worked at P. & r. Corbin's. He was a native of Ireland and returned there a few years ago.

Abernathy Boys Aren't
 Charmed With Waterbury

Waterbury, Dec 29.-Louis and Tem- nle Abernathy. the boys who made themselves famous by their 66 day horseback ride from Oklahoma City to New York, arrived in Waterbury Sunday night. with Percy Valentine of 31 Central Aveneue, and left this af- ternoon to return to New York, after being the guests of O. A., Valentine, MT. Valentines father, at Christmas d nner.
 The two boys. Temple. aged G. and Louis. aged 10 went around the town yesterday on sightseeing tour, vis- iting the fire headquarters, where the mechanism of the hose and chemical automobiles was explained to them, and later the Police Headquarters. -hernalia of the policemen and detec- tives.
 The fire apparatus got the eye of young Temple immediately and when he was seen this morn ng he said that he liked the ire-fighting equipment as well as anything he had seen in the Brass City, As far as the town in general was concerned it did not make a very favorable impression on the two boys, but perhaps this was because most of the places were clos ed for Christmas. The boys agreed that the city .sp was mi nice 1nougn Dut compared with the buildings in Ok Iahoma City even though there are more people here. Everybody here builds house within two Or three feet of the next one while out there we have plenty of room to run apout in between the houses.

 When asked if they would Ike to live in waterbury the boys immediate Iy spoke up in the negative.

CoRoNER,s INQuEsTs

.sThere have been," says the Stam- ford Advocate. instances in our own town where such secrecy (of coroners' inouests) has had injurious results" Referring to the recent, secret inques' in stratford. the so-called Peabooy case, the Advocate says: Had hear ing in this inquest been public. ana had the testimony of all the wi. nesses been reported in the newspapers. It IA conceivable that the cause of justice would have been better served.
 The purpose of secrecy. if we cor rectly unders. and the matter. is to estop the defense in a resultant trlai from knowledge of the prosecution evidence. This principle of action appears to be based upon the theory that the duty of a prosecutor IS to convict, whether or not the evidence warrants conviction. Such theory is fundamentally wrong. The duty of | prosecutor is to develop the fac S. and not to secure, convictions through concealment of them.
 The coroner occupies position par taIing somewhat of the nature of 8 prosecuting official. and the duty or both should be the ascertainmene of all possible facts. whether bearing for or against the indictment and conviction of accused persons. Nor do we believe 1t to be the duty or a legitimate priv ilege of . coroner to withhold from the knowledge of an accused person, evidence which may be used In ms defence. and also the accused Is enti- tied in all fairness. to 2 complete knowledge of the evidence against him. Secrecy of inauests practically denies this to an accused person.
 It is a legal maxim that a man must be considered innocent until proved guilty: secrecy of coroners' inauests carry the opposite principle. It Is as unfair as 1t is unAmeriean and con- trary to the principle of equal and exact justice. Miscarriage of justice is much more probable from secrecy than from open. public investigation. The American people are not fond ef "star chamber" methods,

Passengers On Boston
 Express Badly Shaken.
Between New Haven and New London Train Was "Side-Swiped' By
 Freight Car.

New London. Dec. 29.-The Boston express, due here Tuesday afternoon at Ill came through in three sections and was having several kinds of trou- bue in trying to keep up the schedule. An accident this side of New Haven made the first section late by nearly nine minutes. The other sections were late on account of slippery rails and heavy traffic. The second and tn I'd sections of the train were made up in New York, but a first section was made u~ in 9 hurry at New Haven. This had II cars. When passing a freight train near Stony Creek the first section met an accident that for tunately had no serious results.
 Either freight car door swung loose or tinlher shifted on a flat car. for something pretruded beyond the line of the freight tran. The first four cars were sideswiped in a way that sent the passengers into a panic until they realized the train had pass ed. Each of the windows in each of the cars was broken. The protrudi ing implement ripped up seats and tore cushions. An iron brace under one of the coaches was broken so that when ts sharpened end was loosened 1t stuck through the floor of the car into a seat.
 The passengers were crowded into undamaged cars and the section con- tinued to this city. As the train was late and the other sections were re- norted behind time the section went through with the damaged ears.
