SIEM0N CASE
 IS REOPENED
 BY CORONER Phelan and Police Officers Visit Scene. of DeMar-
 tino's Death BIRMINGHAM TELLS
 OF FINDING GLASS Two Gouges Tn Pole Mark Place Where Motor Gar Swerved Into Curb

Accompanied by Superintendent of Police Eugene Birmingham and De- tective Edward .Cronan, Coroner Phelan today visited the scene of the killing of John DeMartino supposedly by the car driven by Carl F. siemon.
 The telegraph pole near the corner of Fairfield avenue and Grove street was pointed out by both Superintend- ent Birmingham and Detective Cronan as the one with which the Siemon car coHided. There were no evidences up- on the surrounding trees that the car at any time struck them, but the Dole near the bottom, was badly gouged as though by the hub of a wheel About six feet from the street the pole was again gougeds This mark both offic- CTS remember seeing the morning fol- lowing the accident. and had evidently been made by the top of the machine.
 The hearing was started in the Dis trict Attorneys office in the County Court House. The only two called to testify were the two officers. Detec- tive Cronan reported to the coroner that he had been in contamination with George E. Pratt, Siemon's former bookkeeper, and that he refused to be present. While the coroner refused to say positively. it was ,intimated that legal means would be taken to secure his presence at a hearing within the near future.
 Detective Cronan was asked regard ing the location. of the marks upon the pole when he visited the scene the morning after the accident. He testified that there was a mark about stx feet from the ground as though it had been struck by the top of the automobile. He then told of glass that had been found upon the street. This glass. it had been testified prev ious1y, was from the oil lamp upon the Siemon car. He further testified that this lamp might have been broken by striking peAIartino before it struck the pole, as had it been broken strik- ing the pole, it would have damaged the nnudguard and the footboard much more than the evidence showed. He testified that there were two trees be- tween the corner, and the pole, but that one had been rem moved recently.
 Superintendent Birmingham then testified that he had picked up a mum Der Of pieces of glass in the street This glass was scattered about and to the east of the pole as though it may have struck an object before striking the police. He remembered two deep gashes into the surface of the te1e- graph pole as though being struck by some vehicle with great force.
 Detective Cronan was instructed to get a blueprint of the model of auto mobile owned by Siemon at the time in order to see whether it was possible for the, oil lamps to have been broken against the police without badly dam aging the mud guard and the foot board.
