guess is as good as anotherss as to what
happened prior to the train carshing into
the obstruction on the rails.
1t may have been murder or suicide or
again, Jencks may have lost his life I'M
intentionally while watching to see what
would happen when the big locomotive
tore into the pile of ties.
Mrs. Jencks came here from Providence |
Thursday afternoon with her brother-in- |
law William Williams, of Webster, and |
identified the body. Mrs Jencks broke |
down and wept bitterly when she saw the |
mangled remains of her husband She |
said that he left home Monday after |
noon while she was out for an hour and
that she had not seen nor heard from him
until Thursdays message came through
from Danielson telling of his death In
such a strange manner.
Mr.. Jencks, she said, has been in poor
health, suffering from heart ailment,
and upon the advice of his physicians had
been taking short walks. Her theory is
that he left Providence Monday to walk
| to Webster, where his mother, Mrs. Mary
Jencks of SIS Schofeld avenue lives, that
he went astray and wandered into this
| territory. He was in a weakened condi-
ton when he left home, Mrs. Jencks said,
and she was unable to explain how he
would be able to muster sufficient strength
| to pile heavy railroad ties on the track.
I w It'll the peTI1SSIOH OI OUIOHeT
| G. Bill, the body was removed to Provi-
dence Thursday afternoon and the fun
eral is to be held on Sunday.
| Jencks was born in Danielson, but has
not lived here for many years. He was
kindly man and Of excellent habits. His
wife was Miss Myrtle Jencks of Danielson
before her marriage to Mr.. Jencks. They
have two children, W. Leroy Jencks and
Ethel Jencxs Dodge, both of Providence.
Mrs Jencks identified both hats found
by the police as belonging to her husband.
Her idea is that he took both along so
that he might change his straw hat in
case he encountered wet weather.
The rain coat and fur gloves found by
the police were identified by Mrs Jencks
as the property of member of the
household where they live at Providence.
