INVESTIGATING DISAPPEARANCE
 OF SABlE REYNOLDS.
New London County Authorities Called
 on to Aid in Search.


 The New Haven police have applied to Hadlai A. Hull, states attorney for this county. to aid them to learn what became of Sable Reynolds. who started for Stratford Thursday night, and whose cap and passbook were found near Mantle river bridge,
 Reynolds. waiter, employed at a students boarding house. left to go to Stratford on business. He was ad- vanced $7 on account of his wages to meet the trips expenses. A railroad lamp inspector that night reported finding on the track cap and pass book with Reynolds name in it at the East Lyme station. There were deeds to lots of land in Stratford-
 Hoffman, the laInpman. found a trial of blood from the station to the bridges Since then Reynolds has been reported missing from his home in New Haven.
 State Attorney Hadlai A. Hull re- ceived communication from the rail- road authorities in New Haven Friday morning regarding the bloodstainS which were discovered Friday between the railroad tracks of the company about half way between the Nianuc station and the lift bridge over the Mantle river and on the door of the tower near the bridge. The finding of a book with the name of Sable Key holds leads to the supposition that Reynolds might have been struck by a train there.
 State Attorney Hull referred the matter to Sheriff Sidney A. Brown, who went to Mantle Friday afternoon to make an investigation. The local authorities, however, are unable to give the railroad men in New Haven who were acquainted with the finding of the bloodstains by Station Agent Charles Leonard any further informa- tion than they already knew, as their investigation Friday afternoon did not reveal anything.
 The complete disappearance of the one who was struck is mystery. The theory is advanced that after being hit he managed to get as far as the tower house. On the door of the house was bloodstain about on a level where the head of a person might reach. Further down on the door was another stain at a point where a persons head might be if he was sitting down. It is supposed that tile injured man first tried to enter the house. then, becom- ing exhausted from the loss of blood, sat down. Later, having revived some- what, he might have started to walk to the eastward. About 30 feet east of the tower is the bridge and he might have stumbled down the steps and em- bankment on the side of the tracks and rolled into the river.
