In Finding, ,Phelan Deplores Fatal Recklessness of
 Drivers
POINTS OUT REAL
 CAUSE OF DEATHS
When Vision Is ObscUred, Drivers Should Have Car
 Under Perfect Control.

Captain Caspar D. Wallace fs se- verely scored in the finding of Cor oner Phe1an who has completed his inquest in the death of four year old Benjamin Feinberg, killed as a result of co1Iidfng with the Wallace auto mobile on the morning of April Z.
 Although he is absD1yed from ae- tual responsibility and the death is found to be occidental. the coroner having in mind the death of t1laas Bach. which resulted from being struck by the car of Mrs. Belle Ten Eyck, driven by Andrew Hard, aa well as several other similar casea. draws to public attention the unwar- ranted practice of automobiles i'm continuing at the same speed towards intersections or crossings of streets when their full vision of the thor oughfare is obscured-
 After reciting the details of the ac- cident, the finding states "I am oG the opinion that whilst not sufficient negligence was shown to hold said Wallace criminally responsible for the death of the deceased, I ann strongly of the belief that the action | of said Wallace in driving his ma chine towards the street crossing whilst his view and that of pedes~ trians was obstructed and hfndered uJ Ine presence of the moving trol- ley-car, was unwarranted and biam- able.
 The fact that in spite Of the inn paired vision of the driver the ma chine was so operated by him that it ran. t6ough braked, more ethan 90 feet after the accident tends to dis close an unpleasant indifference or disregard of the public rights and safety that appears to call for legal Encouragement
 sIn this regard 1t Is noe too rnuth to expect that automobilists shall drive so carefully in the public streets and at street crossings as to con serve and have due regard for fbe rights of pedestrians, as well s~ themselves, and in situations when for any reason, the field of vision is obscured to the driver, either bring his machine to a complete stand-stfn. or control it that an instant stop is possible In the face of danger
 Wallace is at liberty under hail oe $5,OO0 on charge of mans1aughter fil- ed against him in the city court. His case will be called In the city court next week, when the man slaughter charge will be dropped. and that of reckless driving likely sul5- stituted.

BURWELLH HAD A POLICE RECORD HERE
Was Arrested and Convicted On Charge of Shop
 Lifting

Much local interest has been drawn to the effort being made to save from e1ectrocution on Monday of the four New York gun-men accused of shoot ing Herman Rosenthal. a gambler, by the affidavit of William D. BurweH. of Waterbury, Conn.,, who is also well known in this city a pool and billiard expert.
 The affidavit which recites that Bur well was a. witness to the shooting
 and that it was not any of the four men awaiting execution who fired the shots, is surprise to all here, and has become the target for much in- vestigatfon upon the part of District Attorney Whitman of New York, who has been in direct communica ton with Chief of Police Birmingham. As a result the records of Burwen in this city have been closely scrutinized to
 ascertain if any flaw might be found in the alibi which is furnished by
 him.
 It has been ascertained that Bur ] well. and Frank Ryan were arrested in the Atlantic hotel by Detective Geo Fox upon the charge of shoplifting in the Laborde-Ge1man and Meigs stores. The arrest was made on Sep tember 24, 1912. On the following. day the Meriden authorities claimed him for. similar offences in that city and later he was sentenced to the New Haven jail. Released from that fn-
 stitution November g. 1913, he was brought to this city by Detective Fox and after trial sentenced to the local
 Jail for 45 days upon the two counts At the time of his arrest in this city he was also wanted in Ansonia Tor rfngton, Bristol and a number of other towns. He is 25 years old. At the
 request of District Attorney Whitman Detective Fox appeared in Judge Golf s criminal court this morning to testify as to his knowledge of the afnant's s character.
 It is know that Burwe1Ps wife was confined as a tuberculosis patient at the Meriden sanitariun, having enter l ed for treatment-Ju1y. 1911. In August 1912, she left the Institution and is i believed to have since died. While she was under the care of physicians | Burwel1 was frequent visitor and her 1 death was expected at any time
