NEW HAVEN, Conn, Sept.
97-A visit of Mrs. Calvin

the latter's chest girl" began
with mystery last night and
ended in something near tragedy

visiting her sick mother, to the
home of Gov. Trumbull at
Plainvillc, Conn.
There she was joined by John,

urncd to Northampton.
John, who had seen her off at

Vile for New Haven, where he
works at the New Haven Rail

er ear crashed into theirs.
There were screams, a rending

of steel, and presently the
shrick of a police whistle.
John picked himself out of the
damaged Trumbull ear. SO did
the chauffeur. Both were un-
hurt.
But the occupants of the other
machine, Wilfred Neno, 80, polo
player, and his mother, Mrs.
Mary Ncno, were not so lucky.
Neno was taken to a hospital,
where he was reported in a seri-
Gus condition from slash
across the neck. His mother
was treated for decorations and
bruises.
John Coolidge and the chauf-
feur were closely questioned by
police before they could leave
the accident scene. John hur-
ried home, changed his clothes
and for the first time was late
to work at the railway office.
And that is not all.
Deputy Coroner James Corrig-
an announced this afternoon he
would hold a preliminary inves-
tipation of the accident late
TODAY or tomorrow. He said he
would subpoena John and the
chauffeur, William Cunning
ham, as witnesses.
