ed his decision in the investigation of

structdon of these departments in this
Jurisdiction, and the elimination and
correction of all faults therein that
might lead to similar fatal accidents
in the future"
Not Criminal Negligence
Coroner Brown went into the matter
thoroughly and based his finding up
on the testimony of the witnesses call
ed before him. While he finds both
the Connecticut company and the Gas
stated that il was not criminal negli-
gence. as it was not intended by either
to do harm or injury. There was
strong wind that morning. Ordinarily

ton was such as to allow the wind to
make the cross which caused the ia
tallity.

telephone belonging to the Connecti-
cut company, which was one OF a Sc
ries on the telephone line of the COM
pany, the others being located at the
power house of the company, at the
car barn. at the residence of w. J. Ma

pany at New London, and in this city
