SUICIDE, FINDING
 OF CORONER ON THOMPSON CASE
Murder Theory of Stratford Youths Father Not
 Founded in Fact.

The theory that 19-year-old Charles B. Thompson of Stratford was mur- dered was shattered today when Coro- ner John J. Phelah made finding in which he declared the young man had come to his death by suicide. This supports the report of Medical Ex- aminer Cogswell of Stratford.
 E.. c. Thompson. father of the boy, maintained from the first that his son had been murdered and he scorned the suicide idea. It was the elder Thompson who said there were spots of blood on the side. of the house where the body was found. At the request of the father the coroner started an investigation, which was finished today.
 In spite of the fact that witnesses yesterday declared the blood on the house came from chicken killed for Sunday dinner, Thompson insisted two other witnesses had seen the blood. His son-in-law, Herbert Chris tianson, said he had visited the scene of the crime but denied seeing any blood William Thompson, son of E. c. Thompson, declared he had seen blood He admitted he hadn't said anything about this to Christianson although the latter was with him at the time.
 Medical Examiner Cogswell said he didn't recall E. c. Thompson had told anything about seeing blood. It is generally believed that Thompson is unstrung because his brother. son and niece have died within a short time.

 MERCURY TABLETS TO END LIFE

Reconciliation with her husband being effected by the pleas of friends and the advice of physicians, Mrs. Charles Oswald, IS years old, who is at the Bridgeport hospital suffering with bichloride of mercury poisoning which she took with suicidal intent 1on July at her home, 65 Asylum street, has taken a turn for the better end surgeons in attendance now say that she has an excellent chance to recover. It was feared that she would succumb because of grief over her husbands apparent inattention, but now that reconciliation has been ef- fected her spirits have changed and she is now cheerful and happy.
 The Oswalds' home is in Vermont and when the husband came to this city to work as a guard at the plant of the Remington Armes-U. M. c. Co.,, Mrs, Oswald remained in her home town.

 when the emergency corps was sum- moned, Dr. John F. Cavanaugh gave immediate treatment and removed the young wife to the Bridgeport hos
 pitaL RefoEe allowing the surgeon to
 place her in the ambulance, she in- sisted that the husband forgive her and apparently they were reconciled as they embraced each other. -..t Oswald, is said te have refused to become reconciled and only went through the formality of being em- braced by his wife sotthat she woufd consent to go, to the hospital for treatment. He would not visit her at the hospital, it is alleged.l
 On her cot in the hospital, Mrs. Os- wald constantly brooded over the hus- bands inattention and instead of re- covering. was / apparently getting worse. She was at a loss to under stand his action, s-s she thought he had forgiven here before she was re-. moved in the ambulance.
 , Friends set to work to bring to- gether the husband and wife, but at first Oswald was obdurate., Finally, however, he visited Mrs. Oswald at the hospital and the surgeons state that since then, her condition has been changed.
 At the hospital it was said today that the husband has been visiting the wife regularly of late and that the has worked wonders medical treatment alone might fail and Mrs. Oswald may soon be discharged from the institution.
