ementS to the manneS stationed that it would be satisfactorily settled up; that there was no use wasting further time, that Sfenaon had owned up. as his conscious troubled him.
 Q. The only Justification you have in your mind is Rogers ?'' A. .sNo, have seen lots of other cases. sup pose his has been settled and that everybody is satisfied. Comment was made that Delaney would be seen. Ed tCronan) spoke to me. Ed told me to tell HILL Delaney should be noti- fled. as should Hill be away it would him tCronan1 no good.
 o. Did you hear MT Hill at any time say that it was to be referred to the criminal authorities?'' A q did not hear him say so in so many words. but my impression was that it was to be done''
 Arnold did not go to the scene of the tragedy at the time. but the. blood was in evidence next day in the gut ter Arnold never knew Siemon.
 Dr. Edward c.

Both sides of his head had been crushed until there was nothing left of it.
 The body lay at the right side of the curb going out Fairfield avenue It lay upon the grass plot between the gutter and the sidewalk. The witness could not tell whether it had been removed to that spot before he arrived or not.

 John H. Chase of Westport, and stephen J. Brady, also of that town, had been subpoenaed, but it was the belief of the coroner that they were not the ones wanted as they had left Westport at 7:30 a. m, rather than Bridgeport on the evening car Ieav- ing at 7:30. They were excused.
 Louis R. Edwards, 487 Howard ave- nue, auditor at the Harvey Hubbeu Company, testified that he had known, Siemon for eight to 10 years, but had no business connections with him. Ed- wards remembers being on Fairfield avenue the night in question He had gone to Fairfield avenue and Colorado avenue to get trolley car and was walking towards Grove when he heard a noise. there was lot of cars on the thoroughfare at the time and he saw
 
 friends. He also saw a big red car shoot by. but did not remember whether it followed behind or was be- fore the Siemon car He recognized Siemon and Thrall in the car. He knew Siemon because of his bald head which was bare. They were pro- ceediIlg between 5 and 20 miles an hour. He knows this to be so, as he runs a car himself. Did not know Edwards.
 As he walked down the street he saw three hats, One derby and two soft hats, lying in Sthe roadway. He went back and picked up the hats, which he threw upon lawn. He was unnerved at the sight of the dead man lying there and went down town. He later met Whiting, brother-in- law, and told him of the occurrence At that time neither man knew to, what extent DeMartino was injured They went to the scene and recov- cred the hats, which Whiting knew belonged to the Siemon party because the initials of 6iernon were in the der by They took them to the house in which Siemon and his friends had gone for supper Sienon took the hats and thanked them for returning them They told Siemon of the accident Sic Closely questioned by the coroner, Ed wards stuck persistently to his belief that Sienon expressed much surprise to learn that the man had been hurt
 H. L. Smith, 264o North avenue, superintendent at the Siemon Hard Rubber Works, where he has been em- p1oyed for twelve years, was the wit ness following Edwards. At one time he lived with Siemon, although he was not related to him.
 Smith told of being called to the factory by Siemon on Sunday morn ing. where he found the automobile on the factory floor with the mud guard bent and the glass in the lamp broken. The front right-hand mud guard was bent upward according to the witness about 4 or inches It had apparently not been touched since the night before
 Smith had been te1ephoneds to come to the factory by Sienon himself and did not consider that strange, as en- ployes almost always worked on re- pairs that day, and he had been call ed there on other occasions Siemon asked him if he had heard of a man being wi11ed the night before on Fair field avenue. He said, No" Siemon said that as he was coming along there was a man in the road, the car had skidded and he believed he had avoided striking the man, but that the car had struck pole He said they had come out to the factory and la ter went to Thrall's house.
