SUSPECT BANDITS OF
 STEALING AUTO HERE
(Continued From Page 1.J

Auliffe car, previously reported stolen.
 Saturday morning at about Il o'clock, hunters coming across an abandoned road in the woods near Poughkeepsie, found car ill a place where with the exception of the hunting season, no one is likely to go. The police were notified and up- on investigation found it was the New Britain car. It had been driven up the abandoned mountain trail until it could go no farther, then in an apparent effort to turn it around, had become stuck in the mud so that 1t was impossible to get it out under it's own power. The po- lice service car proved unsuccessful in an attempt to extricate 1t from the mud and it was necessary to use a wrecker for the purpose.
 It was found that the lock had been chiseled off in a workmanship like manner and the switch opened simply by manipulating the tum- blers, no key being used. The conn partment in which the registration was kept was opened and the regis- tration taken. Both license plates had been removed and a sweater and coat and several personal belong ings were missing. In the rear of the car, wedged behind the rear seat cushion was found letter address cd to MT. McAuliffe. which furnished the clue by which the car was Identified.
 The theory of Sheriff Close is that the highwaymen, expecting that the Poughkeepsie police would be on the lockout for them, attempted to avoid the city by taking a round- about road. Missing the road they evidently were looking for. Sheriff Close believes they took the mount ain trail by mistake and did not dis. cover their error until it was im- possible to retrace their steps. Then they fled. abandoning the car.
 The road or trail is in such an out of the way place that had it not been for the hunters the car in all probability would have remained there all winter without being dis covered. MT. McAuliffe drove homo with temporary markers. Pough- keepsie authorities are searching the woods for missing highwaymen.

Robbed of S20 But Can't
 Tell Policeman Where

Frank Shuresky of 2SS North street complained to Supernumerary Officer Walter Wagner last night that he had been relieved of a s20 bill in a house at 13G West street, but after the officer had awakened the family living there, Shuresky was unable to identify anyone. He then took the officer to Putnam street but was unable to locate the house he had in mind saying the number was 113. A diligent search of the street failed to reveal a house with that number. The family at 136 West street was angered at the officer for awakening them and the head of the house demanded the officers number. Officer Wagner gave him his name instead and the man threatened to report him to his superiors.

NONE AT FAULT IN DANBURY GAS CASE
(Continued from First Page)

in view of the fact that 1t was found that the substance in the refrigera- tion plant in Danbury contained no methyl chloride, the coroner was not interested in such proof. He said that there were enough matters that had to be discussed and that he would not take up the time for demonstrations.
 Condition of Apartment
 Medical Examiner Stratton In de- scribing the condition of the rooms in the Force apartment when MT. Force and the boy met death, said that there was no ventilation and that no windows were opened un- | til Mrs. Force detected the odor of gas after being awakened by her grandson at e:3O o'clock.
 Mir. Force was taken ill about 1 o'clock in the morning, the medical examiner said. but he did not awak- en his wife. Both Mir. Force and the boy died at 10 o'clock that morning.
 It was at this point that Dr. At wood expressed the opinion that ptomaine poisoning might have caused the deaths and that there should have been an autopsy. He gave instances where persons when fatigued were stricken with pto- maine after eating hearty meal. The medical examiner replied that Mir. Force and his grandson had slept during the night and were stricken while apparently in a rested condition.
 Following the hearing, pr. At wood gave a demonstration to prove his contention that mcthyl chloride was harmless. Pouring some of the liquid into a glass he held it to his nose for several minutes. Other men present did the same and none appeared to suffer any ill effects.

BALTIC WOMAN IS HELD
 FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER
Husband Stilk Is in Critical COndi- tion at Norwich
 Hospital.

Baltic, Conn.,. Nov. tP) = Mrs. Beatrice Bamford, 42, was before Justice of the Peace John Adams today charged with assault with in tent to kill her husband, Thomas. whose age is 52. She pleaded not guilty. waived examination and was bound over without bonds to the January term of the superior court.
 Thomas, the husband, Is still in q critical condition in the W. w. Backus hospital at Norwich. He was sitting at his radio set about 7:20 last night when his wife fired three shots at him from a revolver. He says that she shot at him from be- with her and took tho weapon away. He threw the gun outside the house and staggering to the door shouted for assistance. Neigh bors found him unconscious and called Deputy Sheriff J. J. Mc- Guire. who sent the wounded man to the hospital in an ambulance.
 Mrs. Ramf0rd had nervous collapse last spring and was pa tient for a time in the Norwich hospital for the insane. Medical opinion today inclined to diagnose Mrs. Bamford's act as due to 8 re- currence of a spell of insanity. States Attorney Arthur M. Brown said that he would have her ex- amined to determine her mental state.
 The gun when found had two nnexploded cartridges in it and Mrs. Bamford during her talk while being held for arrest, said she intended to use the two charges on another woman. Much of her talk was said by neighbors to have been irrational.

BEARS EFFORTS
 DO LITTLE HARM
Stock Market Prices Move SloW-
 B Upward

New York. Nov. Rt-Respond- ing to continuance of easy money rates and constructive trade develop ments, stock prices moved upward today despite renewed efforts of bear traders to unsettle the general list by attacking the motor shares. Buying centered largely in the high grade rails, coppers, equipments and public utilities, the, brisk manner in which many stocks were bid up in- dicating 8 scarcity in the floating supply.
 The selling of the motors ap- peared to be based on the possibil- ity that no extra cash dividend would be declared on General Motors common at Thursdays S meeting. Selling subsided, however, on publication of prediction by Nice-President James B. Mooney that net export sales would exceed 5,000,000 in 1927.
 U. S. Steel common was well sup ported on the prospect of sizeable increase in thrilled orders in the October tonnage statment to be given out on Wednesday. Baldwin and Pullman, with early gains of and 31s pounds respectively, led the early advance in the equipments, buying of which was influenced by reports of a substantial increase in locomotive orders last month and the continuance of unusually heavy freight traffic.
 Coppers reflected the improve ment trade position of the indus try. Utah. kennecott and Green Cananea again breaking into new high ground.
 Heavy accumulation of Rock Island common revived reports of an early declaration of dividends.
