Claim States Attorney Had No
 Right In Room

Following the publication yester- day of report that States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn was the man whom counsel for Thomas McAuIiffe claim ed was present without auth ority in the Federal grand jury room when MoAuliffe's indictment for alleged ac- ceptance of bribes was voted, 1t was learned upon inquiry of the states attorney that his telegram from the Department of Justice not only forti- fled him of his appointment but au- thorized and directed him to conduct the grand jury proceedings.
 Lawyers for the former chief Fed era1 prohibition enforcement officer yesterday filed motion to quash the indictment on the ground that there was present in the grand jury room man who had no right to be there. The man was not named.
 Counsel for McAuliffe will also ar gue a demurrer to the complaint against McAulffe. Yesterday was the day set upon which McAu1iffe was either to change his plea of not guilty or to make such motions as he desired. The motions were filed soon before noon.

ELUSIVE $4,OOO
 GARNISHEEl

Hingeing upon the important fact that the once elusive s4,0o0, in the Edward F. Hall bankruptcy proceed ings, was garnished before the polls closed on election day, William J. La- very, temporary receiver for Hall, filed a petition yesterday afternoon in the office of referee in bankruptcy. John Keogh.
 The petition, stating that the money was garnished, while in the hands of Peter F. Callahan, steward at the Elks' club on State street, asks that the 4,000 be turned over to him, as receiver, to be included in the assets of the defunct contracting business.
 The fact that the garntshee was placed before the polls closed, Is be- Eeved by Attorney Joseph Shapiro to make the money part of the bank rupt's assets, no matter if money placed with stakeholder as part of a bet had any legal status. Callahan did not at once turn over the money. but after several hearings and threat ened contempt of court action, pro- duced the elusive s4,000. Previous to that @ fruitless search of a safe de- posit box at the T. L. Watson & Co. bank had been made; this box hav- ing been rented shortly before noon. election day. Hall had placed his s4,. 900. received for work for the city, on 8 bet on former Mayor Wilson. The next hearing on the natter will be tomorrow.

CORONER GIVES
 SUICIDE VERDICT

Writing the final chapter on what has been one of the most mysterious suicides to come under the juriSdic- ton of the Fairfield county authori- ties, Coroner John P. Phelan in 8 finding made public this morning, calls the death of Dr. Elizabeth Radon, suicide.
 In the finding, which carefully re- views the case, testimony of state and county authorities, officers of the town of Fairfield, and other witnesses the theory Is that the woman killed herself.
 Probable cause, due to business worries; brodinE over a love affair that had terminated because of an incuraDel illness of her lover. and finally because of being turned down by her parents, are shown in the finding.
 That the woman went to a lonely spot on Fairfield Beach on the even- ing of Friday. Dec. 2. took poison, composed of hydro-cyntde. after first of cocaine or morphine, or both.
 The coroner carefully outlines 1nur- der theories that were rampant dur ing the investigation, including the placing of the body within g. shadow of a tree. in such a manner, alleged by some, that the woman must have been carried there by others, the cor oner stiE arrives at the conclusion of suicide, from the evidence offered The woman was 29 years of age. re- sided in Hartford before coming to Bridgeport, and practtced medicine on BOStwtck avenue.

Trolleys Better Than Daugherty
 Had Expected

Washington. Dec. 15-Decisfon es to the governments attitude toward the ultimate disposition of the New York, New Haven 6 Hartford's troll ley properties in New England may require some time, Attorney General Daugherty declared today.
 MT. Daugherty has Just returned from a tour of New England to in spect the properties, which are re- quired to be disposed of by the New Haven, under the terms of consent decree entered in New York in Octo- Der, 1914. as a result of Sherman act antitrust proceedings instituted by the government.
 As result of his inspection, MT. Daugherty said, he found the trolley properties in much better physical condition than he had expected. The legal matters involved in winding up this matter were simple, he said, but the government was called upon to decide what would be the most ad- vantageous course to the public.
 The trolley lines. MT. Daugherty added. were of vital importance to New England and 1t would require careful study to determine whether their sale by the New Haven shall be ordered or whether 1t would be in the best interests of the public to al- low their return to their original owners.
