WRECK INVESTIGATION AT WESTERLY
Coroner Kingsley Issues Statement Wednesday Repuang Alleged Reports of Finding-Extent of Mrs James Hogue's Inuries-Civl War Veteran William T. Corey, Dies-Real Estate Transfers.

Coroner Everett A. Kingsley is mak- ing an investigation to ascertain the cause and place the responsibility for the railroad wreck at Bradford, that resulted in the deaths of Miss Janet Clark, William Barber and Thomas Boardman of Westerly, Howard Par telo of Ashaway, and Mrs. Olivia Mar tell of Uxbridge, Mass. The investiga- tion opened Tuesday in Westerly, in the Third district court room, and only two witnesses gave testimony on that day.
 Wednesday the evidence of four witnesses was taken. Twenty persons have been summoned to testify at the investigation, and in the opinion of the coroner it will require perhaps five days more before the evidence is all in, provided all the witnesses summoned are called upon to testify.
 The coroner is being assisted by At torney Fred Otis, of the attorney-ge erals office, and should the testimony point to any individual or individuals, or to the railroad company as negli- gent, an arrest will be ordered. In that event a grand jury will be sum- moned in at Westerly, to hear the evi-
 dence for the prosecution, and that jury will decide whether or not the ac- cused be indicted. If indicated the case will be brought into court for disposition.
 All the evidence taken before the coroner is transcribed and read to the witnesses, who are required to aIfiE their signatures. Before presentation of the case to the grand jury all this testimony is reviewed by the attorney l general to whom the coroner makes l his report, through the clerk of the superior court for Washington county The hearing before the coroner is supposed to be absolutely secret. nc
