were not sure of themselves, however, and neglected to say anything to the medical examiner. Yesterday these men viewed the remains again, after which they stated positively that the dead man was none other than Godszk. He had been seen about
 Kensington about 8 o'clock in the afternoon and at that time he ap-
 peared to be in a happy frame or mind. The men who made the lden- tification say that Godszk had intend- cd to begin work at one of the local brickyards this morning.
 The unfortunate man leaves a cousin in Kensington, wife in Italy
 and two brothers in Passaic, New
 Jersey, the latter of whom were noti-
 fled of the tragedy by telegram. The
 relatives claimed the body yesterday
 and made arrangements for the fu- neral which was held at 3 o'clock this afternoon from the Greek church.
 Burial " in New Britain.
 AutOist's Narrow Escape.
 People walking along Warrington
 ridge yesterday afternoon were
 startled to see a Ford car come tear
 ing down the road at break meek
 speed. a terrified man clutching the
 wheel as if his very life depended
 upon it. The expected happened at
 Roston's corner when the machine
 suddenly swerved from the roadway and climbed the bank in front of Selectman Gibney's residence. Graz ing past the large maple tree near the front entrance to the selectman' $ home, the bouncing car cleared a telephone pole by about an inch and,
 careening far to one side, stalled just
 as it reached the gutter again. The driver was too frightened and nervous to start the motor again and passers by assisted him in this ordeal, fol- lowing which he passed down the turnpike in more orderly fashion. He
 said that he forgot how to shut off his engine.
