1 LII O CI41
 | New Haven, Sept. 5-After an in- quest lasting until 11:15 last night Coroner Mix adjourned the hearing ot | the North Haven wreck until 1C o'clock this morning. During the night session the only persons exam ined were Engineer A. B. Miller, of North Haven, and Flagman Charles H. Murray, of Ho1yoke Miller and 1 Murray were admitted to bail of $5,- 900 each, after they had been served | with coroner's warrants in which it is | declared that Coroner Mix has reason | to suspect, and does suspect, that they crin1inaily caused the death of Royal A. Hotchkiss of New Haven. Bail was furnished for Miller by | Francis B. Gates, secretary and treas urer of the local Brotherhood of En- gineers, but Murray was unable to | obtain bonds last night and he was taken back to jail.
 The very first thing which Coroner Mix did after he had finished the | cross-exanination of Miller and had started him on the way to the police | station was to turn to him and say: MT. Miller, I want you to say to these newspaper men whether or not have treated you in any other way than I shou1d?''
 Miller looked at the newspaper men a second and said: ''The coroner has treated me all right in every way, but the newspapers have not.''
 Have you read the newspapers ?' asked one of the newspaper men.
 ''No, I have not, but I gather from what has been told me that they have made a fool of me and my case,'' re- piled the engineer.
 It was suggested to Miller that he ought to look over the newspapers and he might change his mind
 STATEMENT BY MILLER
 Coroner Mix said he wanted Miller to make that sta tement because he had been various1y charged with do- ing things to Miller which were not proper. At the police station later he to Gates, and Miller did so. Later Gates said that what the trainmen had objected to in the treatment of Miller was that on Tuesday afternoon he was sent for by the road and that when he came down to the office he was taken up to the station by Detec- tive GianelH and then locked up with out a chance to see or to talk with anyone.
 Miller was perfectly composed throughout the examination by Coro-' ner Mix, except for a minute Or two before he was taken to his home in North Haven in the automobile p1ac- ed at his disposal by Engineer Gates.
 
 After the matter of the bond had been fixed up by Gates offering his home on Davenport avenue, and the acceptance of the offer by Sergeant Doherty, Miller went to the phone and called up his home in Montowese. His voice broke as he told someone he'd be home in an hour. Then there was further conversation and he put up the telephone and looked toward Sergeant Doherty. He waited a min ute or so before he had composed himself and then said:
 DIDN'T GET FLOWERS
 Look here, Sergeant why didn't they allow f1owers to be sent up to me while was in jai1?"
 Sergeant Doherty thought he was joking, but there was no joking in Mil1er's eountenance.
 What do you mean?'' asked the
 q mean that my folks went up to the jail with some flowers for me- and that they left them there for me and that I never got them,'' said Mil Ter, sharply.
 That is something that I know nothing about said the sergeant.
 Well it wasn't a right thing to do." said Miller, and that closed the incident.
 Miller refused to talk about the case itself, though he did say that time would tell whether or not he was guilty.
 After talk with Miller, Gates said that he was confident that the State could fix no criminal negligence on him.
 MURRAY GOES TO JAIL.
 Murray was not brought to the sta ton at all. When at 11:15 his exam ination was concluded he was served in the court room with the coroner's warrant and he said then that he knew of way in which he could get bail last night. So he was taken direct to the jail. The engineers who were in the police station explained that they had no authority to go bail for Murray, as he was not an engineer. It is expected that either the Train mems brotherhood or friends from Holyoke will appear this morning to offer the required sum.
