Coroner Rothacher declared, Thurs

learned that the woman was addicted

wreck at Wallingford. Conn, possible,
and the entire country aroused by
the horror which claimed 21 lives,
the lips Of the one man who might
tell the actual story Of the catastrophe
were still sealed, today. He is Aug.
ust B. Miller, the engineer of the
White Mountain express. which went
crashing through the himsy wooden
cars Of the Bar Harbor express. With
Charles H. Murray, fiagman Of the
wrecked train, Miller is held without

permitted to make q statement, and
no one IL allowed to see him.
Until the government takes hold Of

will begin his inquest, today. but the
hearing will be secret. Even newspa'

Refugees continued to arrive in
