come of romance that began early

of throat trouble. Attentive nursing
on the part of Miss Barter relieved
him Of his ailment and his heart. Not
unknown to the Colby students the
affair has been making rapid prog
ress.

Mrs. Angle Will Not Testify in
Own Defense at Inquest-Po-
lice Allege Was Killed by Blow
From Electric Smoothing Iron
CORONER'S INQUIRY WILL
BE RESUMED THURSDAY
Counsel for Mrs. Angle Denies
Allegations of Quarrel and
Use of Black Skirt-Declare
Affair Is Merely an Accident

Stamford, Conn, June 29.-The cor
oner's inquiry into the tragic death of
Waldo r. Ballou on the night of June
%, will not be resumed before Thurs
day and possibly later. Coroner John
Fl. Phelan, when the inquiry was about
to be re-opened today, was informed
that analysis Of supposed blood stains
on a number of exhibits had not been
completed. Without this report, the
coroner decided that 1t was unneces
sary to hold session today. In the
meantime, Mrs. Helen NJ. Angle. whom
Mr.. Ballou had visited in her apart
ments shortly before his death will
continue at liberty under bond of
$4,000.
Mrs. Angle will not testify before
the coroner, upon the advice of coun-
sci. 1t is thought likely that no evil
dence will be introduced at present TO
contradict testimony already given by
the police, which centers around the
opinion of Chief Brennan that Baiiou
was struck. on the forehead by an
electric smoothing iron which was Ia
ter found in Mrs. Angles apartment.
Judge Downs, counsel for the defence.
outlined his attitude in an interview.
In part he said:
my advice to Mr.. Blondel. father
of Mrs. Angle. was that nothing was
to be gained by permitting her to
testify, either privately or publicly,
before the coroner. II is not for the
coroner to pass upon the guilt or in
nocence of a person whom he may
have held under bonds"
Concerning certain published re-
ports, Mr.. Downs said:
MIR. Ballou was not assaulted In
Mrs Angles room. No black skirt
or any other garment was wrapped
around his head to prevent flow OF
blood while he was spirited to the
street; there was no quarrel in the
room, no third, or fourth party was
in the rooms when Mr.. Ballou made
his call and there are no mysterious
features to his death. He fell down
a flight of stairs
