Believed to Be Man Killed by Train

 It is the opinion of his relatives that the man who was killed by a train on the Midland division at Nc doc ledges last week and was buried last Sun day, unidentified, at Pomfret was Fred D. Johnson of Colchester. W. c. Sher- man of Colchester, step-father of John son, was at Danielson Wednesday for a conference with Coroner A. c. Bill and later went to Pomfret to see about getting a permit for the elimination of the body.
 Willis Covell, town clerk of Pomfret said Wednesday afternoon that he had not issued a permit for removing the cody from the grave and probably would not until he had consulted with the health officer and taken legal ad- vice, Mr CoVell stating that he was under the impression that the law pro- hibited the removal of bodies during the months of June, July and August He thought it possible, however, that some arrangements could be made in this exceptional case to permit an eff fort to find out who the dead man is MT. CoVell said that Johnson's relatives were coming again to Pomfret on Sat | urday.
