LIEUT.. KNIGHT
 KILLED IN ACTION
Worcester Boy Was Nephew of Mrs. A. R. Cole of Putnam His Father and Children Spent Sunday Here.
News of Death Received While Chil- dren Were Praying for His
 Safety at Mothers Knee

While his children, Fife, aged 2 years, and Clifford, aged years, were praying at their mothers knee, Thursday night, for the safe return of their father, Lieutenant Henry Redwood Knight, from the battle front in France, the door bell rang and a message telling of his death was received at the home in Worces- ter where a short time before he bade his loved ones good bye and went forth to fight for his country and those who stay at home. He is the first Worcester officer to be killed in action. There were no details of his death. but those who know him know well that he went to his death with the courage the equal of that of any man in uniform.
 Lieutenant Knight was a nephew of Mrs. A. R. Cole of Putnam. Only last Sunday his father and his two children spent the day here. Lieu tenant Knight has himself visited here. where he made number of ac- quaintances.
 His wife, father and two children live in a little cottage home in Wor- cester now saddened by the horrors of war, as are, and will be, many other homes before the bloody strife IS over and justice and democracy are preserved to future generations.
 Frequent letters were received from Lieutenant Knight, all of a cheerful nature, reporting excellent health and good spirits. April 9th a eablegram informed his relatives that he had been up front doing his duty and was then safe and sound in the rear of the firing lines for rest. AL though beyond the draft age and hay- ing dependents which would permit of his remaining at home, he insisted on leaving with his regiment and was anxious to do his duty as soldier and to serve his country under the Stars and Stripes of his glorious flag

POMFRET WRECK PROBE
 BEGUN IN HARTFORD
SHOWS THAT TRAINS ARE UNDIRECTED
 WILLIMANTIC AND PUTNAM
Coroner's Inquest Held Putnam Posponed.He Be lieves Brakemans Failure to Throw Out Signals Was
 Cause

The coroner's hearing set for Tues cal in the Superior court room into the wreck at Pomfret last week has been postponed to a day yet to be fixed upon. This was necessary to al low the witnesses to be present at q prior hearing started by the pubic utilities commission together with the interstate commerce commission, begun in Hartford Tuesday after noon. The investigation was con ducted by F. A. Howard and ]. ?. McArdle of the interstate commerce commission and E. Irving Judd, chief engineer of the public utilities com mission.
 C. N. Woodward, general superin- tendent of the Eastern division of the New Haven" road, the train crews, the inspectors, the master mechan- ics, the train dispatchers, who were in any way connected with the train crew which were wrecked, and the superintendent of maintenance and way, all testified.
 The testimony broaght ovA the fact that the train following. A. B. 4, which ran into the other freight, was in good condition prior to the aeei- dent, when it was leaving the ter minal at East Hartford. It was learn ed that the telegraph operator at Willmantic issued orders with re- gard to the following train, telling the other ahead that it was coming. The division engineer covered the physical characteristics of the line as to curvature and grade, and also tes- tified as to the distance that the rear end of extra 3200 should be visible

PUTNAM BOYS ARRIVE OVER
 THERE

Within the week word has been re- ceived that two Putnam boys have arrived safely across the ocean.
 Saturday Timothe Tetreault receiv- ed word that his son, Private Alpherie Tetreault, who has been stationed at Fort Mckinley, Me, for some months, had reached the other shore.
 Monday morning Luther M. Keith received word that his son, Private Arthur Keith, was safely across. Pri- vate Keith's experience was unusual. He left with the last draft contingent of the first draft, stayed a week in Camp Devens, was transferred to Camp Upton and now, all in few weeks, has reached foreign shores. Many Putnam boys who have been in service for nearly year are still on this side in camps where they were first sent. It is the fortune of sol dier and the man himself has no con- trol over his destiny.
