On Saturday morning the sad
intelligence was flashed over the

dearly beloved and respected,

he was a great favorite. He was
a most remarkable man, a great
divine with national reputation;
a man in every way among men.

CORONER MIX EXPECTS
TO FINISH HIS PROBE
OF TRAIN WRECK TODAY

New Haven, Sept 11-Coroner Eli
Mix will probably complete his 1nVes-
tigation into the cause of the North
Haven wreck some time today and will
have his finding on the case ready so
that Engineer Augustus B. Miller and
F1agman Charles Henry Murray may
be brought before the special term of
the superior court, criminal side, which
convenes on Monday, if it is decided
to hold them.
The coroner has already establish
ed most of the main features sof the
case and is now simply picking up the
loose ends. 1t is barely possible that
he will have his finding ready this
week. He will probably have several
more witnesses to examine today.
States Attorney Arnon A. Alling
said last night that he could not say
whether Murray and Miller would be
taken before the superior court on
bench warrants on Monday, as it was
not yet certain whether the coroner's
finding would be ready by that time.
The criminal superior court opens on
Monday morning at 10 o'clock for a
special session, with Judge Edwin B.
eager on the bench.
