CEISSLER WHO
SHOT WOMAN
WAS PARANOIC

New London, July Histories as to
whether or not Mrs. Florence De Cor
dova was attacked by her chauffeur.
seem to differ. The fact is affirmed
by one physician who declares that
the murdered womans neck showed
black and blue finger marks, and that
there were other evidence Of an as
sault- It is denied by another who as
serts that there is absolutely nothing
to show that an assault was COM
mitted.
The one theory on which all seem TO
agree is that Geissler was paranoic.
While he contrived to maintain a do
cile and respectful manner in the
presence of his employers when he
went into the chauffeurs' dining room
at the Griswo1d he was sub ject to fire.
quent bursts of temper and would
claring he had been defrauded Of a

Evidence gained Yesterday indi-
Gates that Geissler had planned his
crime for some time and had so ar
ranged it that his gasoline gave out
at the 1onespot on the Month Ston-
ington road where the crime was
committed. This was the pretext, so
it is thought, by which Mrs. De Cor
dova was induced to leave the car.
The general belief is that the chauf-
feur made advances to his employers
wife which were repulsed. Inf1amed
by liquor and an outcropping of the
murderous rage which is a trait of
the paranoic, Geissler shot the wom-
an, probably killing her instantly. A
realization Of what he had done
must have come upon him and know
ing that he would have to pay for
his crime, the man took his own
life.
Despite the denial by Mrs. Geiss1er
that there was any infatuation for
Mrs. DeCordova on the part of her
husband, she admitted to Prosecutor
Hewitt of New London, yesterday,
that she knew of such an infatuation
which had caused trouble and which
had led her to start proceedings for
a divorce on June IS.

LOCAL SLEUTHS
HAVE DIFFICULT
JOBS GIVEN THEM

Many folks honestly believe and
have sometimes remarked that a de-
tective has nothing to do except in
vestigate murders and robberies, and
then take a lot of credit when the
guilty parties are apprehended. Moth
ing could be further from the truth
There are a. lot of hard assignments
which come up daily in the local De-
tective bureau. Lengthy investiga-
lions are conducted, no arrests are
made and the general public never
hears of the work.
One of the toughest jobs handled
by the bureau is that Nof investigating
cases in which foreigners are alleged
to have lost sums of money. For in
stance there is the case of man who
recently carried his troubles to the
detectives This person, foreigner,
went to the Detective bureau a few
days ago, and reported that man
had stolen $500 from his room. The
complainant brought three witnesses
with him, and two of these were alb
solutely certain that the money had
been stolen. The third was doubtful.
First of all, the lieutenant in charge
had to secure an Interpreter. The ac-
cused- party was next located and
brought to headquarters. Then fol-
lowed a lengthy questioning. The al
legged, thief finally denied taking the
money. He was searched from head
to foot and the missing cash was not
revealed. His room was inspected
and still the money was not found. In
view Of these facts the man was not
held. Two hours after the parties
had left the Detective Bureau, the
man who had lost the cash called on
the phone and notified the lieutenant
that he had found the money where
he had hidden it some time ago.
Another occurrence of this kind
also happened, few days ago. A
man telephoned that some money had
been stolen from his house, and re-
quested that a detective be sent to
investigate Before the officer could
arrive the complainant phoned twice
to the Detective bureau, and in tones
which betokened great excitement
asked if the policeman was never
coming.
The detective secured the assistance
of the patrolman on the beat In which
the complainant's home was located.
and together the officers searched the
house. This proceeding was denounc-
| ed by the man who had reported the
| loss. He said that the money had
been stolen, and that was all there
| was to it. A careful search however,
revealed a silk shirt rolled up anu
| tucked away in a closet. Inside the
garment was the roll of money intact.
| The man then confessed that he pat
| the money in the garment, but had
| forgotten all about it. Just another
| instance of a lot of time wasted and
| no important results gained.

SILENT COP IS
NOT OBSTRUCTION
TO STREET TRAFFIC

Attorney General Frank E. Healy
gave Motor Vehicle Commissioner
Robbins B. Stocked yesterday an
opinion holding that silent police
man or automatic traffic signal prop
erly set up in the highway for the
direction of traffic is not an obstruc-
ton to the extent that a town or
municipality setting it UP would be
liable to the driver of a motor vehicle
which collided Herewith. The opin-
ion further holds that it is the duty
Of the municipality to see that the
silent policeman or automatic traffic
signals are properly set up and that
reasonable care shall be exercised by
such supervision over them so that
they will not fall and become an OBJ
struction in the highway.
The opinion was rendered foil wing
a request by Commissioner Stocked,
June 25, as to whether a silent police
man or automatic traffic signal prop
er,y set up in the highway for the
direction of traffic is per Sc an OBJ
struction on the highway to the ex-
tent VIII ere a town setting it up would
be liable to any driver of any motor
vehicle which collides Herewith, and
what attitude, if any, is imposed upon
the town or municipality setting it up.
