Mckay of Nor wich, coroner for New London county, makes after his investiga- ton
 When seen this afternoon by Herald reporter, NIT. Reed bravely tried, although badly shaken by his loss, to discuss the probable action and the causes that stand out as the basis for a probable suit against New London. He declared that several little incidents appear now to be significant, but he will not do any thing unless the coroner's report shows that his son was badly used and in fact severely beaten, as he suspects.
 Father Expresses Opinion

The car, an old model, developed trouble with the steering knuckle, and a state po- liceman happened to see the car wobble along the road. Just as the car was to stop while Young Reed made an examination 10 see what made it act that way, the state of ficer arrested him for drunken driv- ing without, it is claimed. giving either Reed CT his companion.

 DRYLAW EXPENSES DenounCeS National AdminiStra- tion for 'Squandering Money" DECLARES EFFORTS FUTILE
Former Mayor Accuses Enforcement Agents of Being In Collision With Bootleggers-H Hailed By Italians 1As Candidate For Congress.

Urging all citizens to obedience of law, including prohibition. but reminding them of their right 10 work for repeal of any statute. for mer Mayor A. NJ. Paonessa spoke last night at a meeting of the Ital- ian American Democratic club, de- nouncing the national administra- tion for "squandering money for an impossible enforcement with agents who. for the most part, are in col fusion with bootleggers.
 Poison Disguised As Alcohol
 The former mayor insisted that prohibition does not restrain the wealthy from obtaining the bever- ages they desire but does work hardships on the poor.
 He denounced the dispensers Of poison under guise of alcohol" an1 called attention to the members to the fact that the bootleggers are the ones who get the most benefit from prohibition, in the form of rich financial returns, and praised the stand taken by former Governor Alfred E. Smith who was out open ly for repeal of the 18th amend ment, but hotly condemned drink ing especially among the younger classes.
