NONE TO BLAME
 FOR CRANE MISHAP
This Is Belief of Coroner, Unless
 Further Evidence Is Found

A renewed investigation was this morning made by Coroner John J. PheIan, assisted by Building Inspec- tors Daniel M. Rowland and c. T. Burns, into the causes which resulted in the loosening of an enormous truss at the West End plant of the Crane Valve Company on Saturday last killing one man and injuring g three others.
 It is now the opinion of all who have inspected the twisted mass of iron on the south end of building number H. that no supervision could have been more careful than was ap- parently exercised just prior to the fatality, as the very men who were engaged were jeopardizing their own lives by a slip in judgment. Every rope, guy cable, hook, flange and bolt had been found intact, and mute evi- dence remains that from an engineer ing standpoint cables and spans were set with mathematical precision with reference to stress and strain, and reinforcing guys had been added but the night before owing to anticipated wind pressure.
 In the minds of those who have ex- amined the structure and arrange ment of devices, it is the belief, and will be entertained by Coroner Phelan unless proof to the contrary is brought forward, that the accident was due to unforeseen sIattine of an interior guy cable during the release of tension upon outside and opposing guy ropes. The effect of the slatting was such as to probably snap from it's anchorage upon a basement girder flange, the flat Tipped hook which held the truss perpendicular. The only men who could have seen the probable effect. of such movement is among the seriously injured
 When the injured, who are again reported resting comfortably at the Ga1en Hospital, are sufficiently re- covered to add their explanations further testimony will be taken by Coroner Phelan and his finding will be recorded. Until such time as evil dence to contradict that already in the possession of the examining au- thority is given, it is the belief of those closely identified in the inves- tigatfon that finding of accident at death to unforeseen causes will be made.

 HANDSOME AUTO


 One of the prettiest autos ever brought into Bridgeport was delivered today to pr. Robert J. Lynch of Court land street, by the Elm Auto Com pany.

ly became more marked. Houses
swayed, clocks stopped and articles OF
furniture were thrown to the floor.
Women rushed from their homes with
children in their arms.

ly followed by one of longer duration
which shook buildings to their founda-
tions. The church bells We're set to
ringing. doors were thrown wide open
and residents were brought milling
