SOLVING MURDER OF
 WOMAN DEAF MUTE
New Haven Police Identity ViC-
 tim Of Brutal Beating

New Haven, April 26.-The woman who was fatally beaten while in rooming house here Sunday is believed by Coroner Eli Mix to have been Mrs. Anna Costello, aged about twenty five of 213 103rd street (either east or west), New York city. The coroner bases his opinion upon the fact that the police have been told that a Mrs. Costello left that address Sunday morning, and the next afternoon postal card was received there with these words, not in the woman's hand writing. on it: 'I have eloped"
 Coroner Mix says that the medical examiner reports that the woman was terribly beaten over the head with a blunt instrument and died from the effects of the blows.
 The case has puzzled the coroner and police since their attention was called to it Monday. On Sunday a man and a woman, both deaf and dumb, applied at six houses for q room, and secured one at the seventh place visited making their wants known by means of pencil and pad. Later the man hurriedly left the house. That evening the woman was found unconscious. A physician de- clared she had fallen and bruised her head. Upon his recOmm mendation she was sent to the hospital where she died Medical Examiner Scarborough, examining the body, reported that the skull was fractured.
 An inquiry was begun as seen as the police were notified. They found that the man had gone to the rall- road station after leaving the house and bought a ticket for Springfield, Mass There was no baggage and the only article of clothing among the womans effects which might serve to identify her was striped undersklrt such as used in institutions. The woman was pregnant. The medical examiner said that the blood smears and splashes on furniture, clothing, and walls of the room, the hallway and bathroom were due to the women wandering about in her delirium.
 A message to the detective bureau from New York city officers stated that the description of the dead woman answered that of Mrs. Costello who had left her home on East 103rd street there.

DRIVER OF DEATH
 AUTO IS DISCHARGED
Ignorance Of Road Proves to Be
 His Chief Fault

New Haven, April 26-At the con- clusion of a lengthy hearing before Coroner Eli Mix in his office here yesterday, Leonard Joy of 1880 North Main street. Waterbury, driver of the 1tney which collided with the stone embankment under the railroad bridge on DiXwell avenue, Hamden, Monday night, causing the death of two persons, was eXonerated from any criminal responsibility for the accident. Questioned with Joy was Daniel King of Waterbury the only member of the auto party to escape injury, except the 19-year old driver. King, as a matter of fact, appeared as a material witness and was re- leased by the coroner after his eX- animation.
 The investigation disclosed the facts that the lights on the car were dim, that the emergency brake was disconnected, and that the foot brake did not work properly.
 According to testimony, Abraham Musnetzy of AS Crown street, Wa terbury, the owner of the jitney, had been told of these conditions. For q time it was thought that he might be summoned to appear but as he was not operating the machine when it crashed into the stone wall As could not legally be held accountable.
 Joy was found to have driven over the road for the first time Monday night and being unfamiliar with the road in the poor light mistook the sharp curve for straight road and crashed into the stone buttress when the brakes failed to work in time.

GERMANY'S PURPOSE
 IN LOWESTOF'T RAID
Naval Expert Has Several Opinions and Says Similar Exploits Cannot
 Be Prevented.

London, April 26, 3:30 a. m.-Thc Times naval expert, in discussing the naval engagement off the east coast when the light British cruiser squad ron and destroyers attacked the Ger man warships after their raid upon Lowestoft, says: "The raid was not undertaken with wanton risk, but with a definite purpose. Possibly it was a reprisal for the British bOmbardment of Zeebruggee, or reconnaissance to test the strength and disposition of the British squadron More likely it was a part of a larger, formidable un- dertaking designated to cover opera tions of a filibustering character con- nected with the trouble in Ireland. There is no security against such ex- ploits, but the stay must be brief ow- ing to the urgent necessity of wasting no time after the alarm has been giVen.'
