HUNT HIDDEN HOARD
 OF CRUSHED NEGRO.

Investi gation today began into the death of John H. Garner. the negro teamster who was mortally injured in a. crusher at the Singer plant last Monday. Coroner John J. PheIans who visited the spot in person, was unable to find an eyewitness to the event, although he has secured the names of several who were attracted by the dying mans screams. Notices to appear before him at an inquest which will be held as soon as the names of other witnesses are found were issued
 An odd story in relation to the life and habits of Garner has been circu- lated since the visit of his daughter to this city to attend the obsequies. It appears that Garner, was of a pe- culiarly saving disposition and was known to have hoarded every cent that he could acquire. This he Is said to never have invested although it was the belief of those related to him that he hid the money about. houses in which he lived and to have banked a portion.
 At the Noble avenue boarding house of the dead man a careful search of the premises has failed to reveal any trace of either money or bank-books. The search for his reputed wealth is still in progress.

Stamford Police Seek Fol lowing Clues Tn Ballou
 Death Mystery

Following the collapse of Leonard
 B1ondeiI. father of Mrs. Helen M.
 Angle. when it was announced that inquiry into the death of Waldo R. Ba1lou would be Postponed by Coroner John J. Phe1an until Monday. July 20, it is wondered if Mrs. Angle and her father will further follow the fnstruc- tions of counsel and preserve sAence. or whether she will decide to teI1N her story in an attempt to clear herself of the implications which have caused the police to hold her without bail pending a finding
 Although Coroner PheIan was ready yesterday to hold the nearing, and Leonard B1ondeI signff1ed his willing ness to tell what his daughter knew of the, affair." Coroner Phelan was un willing that she should appear before him until he was assured that her story was willingly given and that she ygaS- in g. physical state that would warrant tna examination
 Although he did not see Mrs. Angle, he left word with both her father and the authorities that he. would hold himself in readiness at any time prior to July 20, to renew the inquiry should Mrs, Angle become determined to disclose her knowledge of the events preceding and subsequent to the finding of the body Of Ba1Iou near her apartments.
 Much speculation has arisen today as to whether Mrs. Angle will overstep the advice given by counsel and tell what she knows. That she believes her testimony will mitigate the infer ences drawn by the public through published reports of the affair and possibly result in her discharge or at least release upon bail is known.
 It is therefore believed that, rather than take a chance upon the coroner holding her for trial next fall, during which time it will De necessary for her to remain in jail. she will decide to appear and tell all that she knows of the matter.
 When asked today what interfer- ence might be taken from his state ment on a.djournment yesterday Ito give pr.

 He replied that the Stamford po- lice had, since the BalIou death, re- cefved many so-called clues most of which had been run down. but others still had to be followed out and that the authorities were busy arranging the mass of detail they already had in their possession.
 Asked if he understood other parties were implicated in the death of BaIlou he refused to divuIge any Knowledge 1 In his possession by the frank and aon-conrnittal answer: 'rI cannot an- swer you that question"
