STILL HAS HOPE
OF SOLVING MURDER
Coroner Brown Says He is Still at
Work on Some Things.

Coroner Franklin H. Brown OF Nor
witch has not abandoned hope OF I'M
travelling the mystery that surrounds
the murder OF Seaman William de
Groot of the coast guard service in
Tilley street early one morning in
August. The coroner was in this city
today to testify in a case in the GRIM
inal superior court.
Nothing has yet developed" said
the coroner in discussing the murder,
but we are working slowly on two or
three things ont of which something
may come"
The reporter volunteered the opinion
that nothing will ever be known of the
identity of the murderer unless there
comes some sudden, unexpected break
in the case.
"Oh. we may get something" was
the reply of the coroner, who was not
as pessimistic as the reporter. "Of
course. someone knows something of
this murder. They may after time
get to talking and then let something
drop that may give us a clue"
Coroner Brown admitted that 1t is an
unusually puzzling case. Seaman de
Groot was slain in a street near the
center OF the city, yet no outcry was
heard and no noise of a scuffie. Thus
far there has been absolutely nothing
to point the way to the identity OF
the murderer.-New London Day.

GASOLINE WAS CAUSE
or TWO RECENT FIRES.
Determined by Chief stanton After
investigations He Conducted.

AS a result OF investigations which
he has conducted since he returned
from the Cincinnati convention Of the
International Association OF Fire En-
ginee:s. Chief Howard L. Stanton has
come to the conclusion that two OF the
fires that occurred while he was away
were caused by gasoline and careless
ness In its use. These were the fires
at the Schwartz barn on Maple street
and in the barber shop at So Franklin
street.
In both cases the fire was started in
similar way. probably by the pres
impregnated by the vaporized gasoline.
Chief Stanton states that every per-
son is altogether too careless in the
use OF gasoline, which IL one OF the
most dangerous combustibles on the
market and cautions the people OF
Norwich using it II should be used
In small quantities and never should
fame be allowed near 1t. for IL va
portzes when exposed to the air and
the gasoline laden air Is dangerously
| explosive.
In the case of the Schwartz IRE he
has the evidence TO show that there
/ was an explosion before the fire and
that someone was seen leaving the
barn after the fire, probably having
been working around the automobile
/ winch was IN the barn.
In the barber shop fire the chiei
| found that the tailor next door to the
shop had been employing the barber
to clean clothes, for which gasoline
was used. but the tailor supposed tina
the work would be done at some othei
place than in the barber shop. TIT
chief found that William Mayfield, TIT
barber. had been keeping about TIVE
gallons of gasoline in a tin wash boil
er, which is a much greater amour
than is allowed TO be kept by law un
less a special permit Is issued. Ever
then 1t must be kept under cover L
| avoid the danger OF vaporization
Keeping the gasoline there for q day o
two would have been enough 20 sat
hrate the premises to the firing point
and when the gas used to heat tn
water was lit the flame would ignit
the gasoline.
The chief has now given the tailo
a permit to keep a small amount o
gasoline on hand.
The fire in the awning at the sho
store Of George II. Moles at 256 Mai
street the chief has determined wa
probably caused by someone from tn
street throwing a cigarette from tn
street up into the awning.
