CORONER KEEPS ON
IN MURDER PROBE
But Practically No Evidence In New
London Case Has Been Found.

Coroner Franklin H. Brown was
again in New London on Friday con-
tinuing his searching investigagation
into the murder Of Seaman William
de Groot of the coast guard service.
He visited the Office OF States At
torney Had1ai A. Hull and there dis
cussed certain phrases OF the case.
From the states attorneys Office
the coroner went to the county Jail in
Franklin street. There he again
grilled Frank Thompson and William
Payne. the two negroes who were
Thursday lodged in the Jail on, the
order Of the coroner. Payne and
Thompson tell widely conflicting stor-
les of their movements on Thursday
night of last week, the night Of the
murder, but they have divulged moth
ing that throws any light upon the
crime.
They are. held simply because their
apparent desire to shield their move
ments on the night in question Is con-
sidered suspicious. They are thus
far the only ones placed in custody.
Friday afternoon Coroner Browns
and Oh1cer Charles p. Hammond of
the department went to Ocean Beach
to question q negro, who 1t is thought
may, IL pressed hard enough, tell
something Of value. Circumstances
have connected this man more or less

NO ORDERS FOR
MILITIA MOBILIZATION
General Cole and Colonel McCabe
Deny Military Runners

Regarding the proposed mobilization
of the state militia this fall at the
camp ground at Mantle, both Adju-
tant General Cole and Col. Charles
McCabe of the Second regiment de-
MED Thursday that there was any
thing in the report that the militia
would be modified this fall at some
central camp. When the officers of
the Second regiment were at the East
Haven range they discussed this move
at some length, and declared at that
time that the Connecticut militia
would be modified to learn just how
long 1t would take to get the soldier
boys together in time of war.
General Cole stated Thursday that
he had heard absolutely nothing from
the war department about mobilizing
the National Guard, and that he re was
unable to state upon what the ru1nor
was based He said further that he
had received no instructions from
Washington dealing with the Con-
necticut militia in the present war
crisis
