STATEOFFICER'S
 VERDICT SUICIDE

Making statement that sounded aln ost exactly like a theory publish ed in the Times last week in the case of the suicide of Dr. Elizabeth Ra- dom, BostwicS avenue, Officer An thony F. Manion of the State Police, this morning told Coroner John J. of the case. Manion,, detailed on the mysterious affair, has spent nine days on his Investigation, and is satisfied that nothing else can be done. He Is also satisfied that the woman was @ suicide.
 He found three motives. Despon- dency because Of business matters: also because of @ love affair with a because he was compelled to enter a sanatorium when it was found he had tuberculosis, and the third motive that when she wished to return to her home in Hartford, her parents gave her @ cold reception.
 This third motive was corrob orated by the investigation conducted upon behalf of the town of Fairfield, where the morning. Saturday, Dec. 3. '"They told her they didn't want her to clutter up their Hartford home with T fhr fom Ro Rostwick lot avenue 9f e0Gh ih Brfd eepef-t.'' Thiz was the statement of Constable Elwoed of Fairfield. 'tShe died of poison administered by herself in the form of hypoderm-
 
 with liquid cocaine, The needle. and unused portions of each drug were found on 11er person. or in the near by hedge" This statement was made by Officer Manton, and eorroborated by Elwood. It hs believed that she made the trip to Fairfield by trolley late Briday afternoon.
 The theory of the Times. that Of Manion. is that she went to Fairfield Beach. probably to the scene of more happy times with her lover, and after breeding over her troubles for many hours decided that life held nothing eide must have been made late in the day, for during the afternoon she made an eppeintm ent with a promin- ent Black Rock physician. to assist in an operation the following day at Q o'clock. The operation was delayed for an hour before the physician as- cartained that pr. Radon would never keep her appointmen ent,
 Constable E1wood believes in the suicide theory, but. while not sharing inc belief of Prosecutor Wakeman of Fairfield. that she was murdered. does believe that the body was carried cause of the manner in which it was almost entirely placed within a shadow of a tree. so that the watch man who passed the spot shortly be- | fore davhreak did not see it. Elwood l also still places some credence in the statement of employees of the Ash Creek gasoline station. who declare the woman was one of a party of four | who stopped at the station shortly be- | fore 10 o'clock Friday night. They are also positive that it was pr. Ra. dom who used a telephone and called a party named "C1ara," who proved to be her fousekeeper.
 The investigation has shown that Dr, Emanuel Brodsty of Bostwick avenue did not see much of the wo- man the days immediately proceeding her death but that when fle saw her last, she was normal.
 Coroner Phe1aa will examine Ser <sant VireI1i of the State police before he makes known his formal finding in the matter,

Potter Denies Rumor Of More
 One-Man Cars

Manager L. B. Potter of the local lines of the Connecticut company this morning denied the rumor to the ef- feet that beginning tomorrow the Jumbo cars" made for operation by two men. would return to that meth od of handling. There are no changes of any kind as to operation. fares, or methods of co1lections,' Potter stated this morning.
 At the present time the only lines operating out of the Bridgeport barns with two men on each car are the Paradise Green, Milford, New Haven. Derby, Fairfield, Westport and Nor walk cars. All others ex, ,cept a few rush hour extras, are handled by one double truck cars. Complaints of slow service on lines covered by two man cars, now handled by one, fre- quently are heard. One resident of tho Barnum Avenue-Noble Avenue district who can reach her home either with a Beardsley park or Bar mum avenue car, stated this morn ing that she could walk to business i" 12 minutes. and to ride, since the new system became effective, takes her fifteen.
 Trouble the past few days with the "automatic" switch at the corner of Golden Hill and Main streets. effect ing northbound traffic, has resulted fin delay switching back of cars. and traffic tie ups, often extending south on Main beyond Elm street, nearly to Fairfield avenue. The dry weather today may allow the trouble to be re1nedhed.
