SAFE DUMPED
INTO THE POND
Real Mystery for County De-
tectives to SoIve-Found
at WeSton's Mills

NEW BRUNSWICK, June 26.-If
any safe owner in this vicinity has
been the victim of a burglar and has
either had the door pried from the
safe or the entire safe stolen, he
should get in touch with Chief of
County Detectives Ferd A. David as
the chief this morning recovered a
safe door from the bottom of Wes-
tons Mills Pond at the Riders Lane
bridge. 1t is thought the safe itself
is also in the pond but that it's
weight has resulted in its being sunk
en- so far in the mud that it's re-
covery will be difficult.
MERIT Petty and John Conover
while fishing about o'clock Sunday
morning in the pond, noticed a tour
ing car approach the Riders Lane
bridge and stop. One man got out
of the car, they told David, looked
around carefully and then returned
to the car. The man, assisted by two
other men, then carried two good
sized closely. wrapped packages to
the edge of the bridge and threw
them into the pond, each package
making large splash when it
struck. The water is about twelve
'eet deep at this spot.
Considering the actions of the
men suspicious and believing it pos
sible that a mutilated body might
have been contained in them, De-
tective David was notified by Petty
and Conover. Detective David went
out to the pond this morning and
after graphing about the bridge for
some time finally brought up to the
surface a package which was found
10 contain the door of an apparent
y new safe. The door measured
nnut "a by 80 inches and was re-
moved by what is known as can
opener" means.
The door was painted green on
he inside and there was a bright
red edge around it. There was no
name upon it whereby it might be
identified.
David was unable to locate the
other package but he is of the be-
lief that it contained the small safe
itself.

Grand Jury to Investigate
Wreck That Killed 7 and
Injured Many
NEGLIGENCE IS SEEN
Investigation Starts at Once
and Satisfaction is Al
ready Expressed
NEGLIGENCE is SEEN

NEW YORK, June 26:-A grand
jury investigation into the death of
eight persons and the injury of SO
others when two coaches plunged to
the street in Brooklyn yesterday
from an elevated structure was ex-
ection of District Attorney Dodd.
The cause of the wreck was still
undetermined. Seven of those kill
ed were women. The other was an
unidentified man.
What caused the train to leave
the track is still a mystery and may
remain one," said the District At
torney in announcing his intention
to push an immediate grand jury in
vestigation. But this much is cer-
tain, the condition of the guard
beams laid for the purpose of keep
ing in check derailed trains gives un-
mistakable proof of culpable negli-
gence in the upkeep of the road.
Those beams were found to be
crumbling from dry rot. Portions
of them yielded to a squeeze of the
hand. Everyone concerned with the
upkeep of this road, from the trans
it commission down to the track
walkers, will be called to give their
explanations of the rotten condition
of these guard beams to the grand
jury.
Whatever action the grand jury
takes will be strongly backed up by
this office. In the event indictments
are returned there will be no delay
in the trials of those held by the
grand jury to be responsible for con-
ditions. Those higher up will not
escape by passing the buck"
