killed, and having shortly thereaf- ter been informed of the death of said Cecelia Mortimer and Jo- sephine Mortimer, and having req son to suspect said deaths were caused by the criminal act, omis- sion or carelessness of another or others, held an inquest as to the manner and cause of said deaths. And as 1t was impossible to deter mine from external examination the ] cause of death in the case of Cece- lia Mortimer and that of Josephine Mortimer, l ordered autopsies to be performed upon the bodies of said Cecelia Mortimer and Josephine Mortimer, which autopsise were performed by Medical Examiner E. A. Stratton, of the Town of Dan- bury, which autopsies disclosed in the case of Cecelia Mortimer that death was caused by a complete destructive laceration of the right supra renal gland, together with fractures of the second, third, fourth, sixth, seventh and eight right ribs and the fifth left rib, and in the case of Josephine Nor timer a fracture of the skull ex- tending into the base and fracture of tAe second cervical vertebrae. Having been further informed on the goth day of December, A. D., 1881, of the death of said Walter Wright of traumatic pneumonia from fractured rib and fractured pelvis, continued said inquest to determine the manner and cause of said deaths. Said inquest was con- ducted at the Towns of Danbury and Waterbury.
 The deceased. Walter Wright liv- ed in Southbury about mile up back road which crossed the New
 York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad tracks practically at the westerly end of the Pomperaug River trestle of that Railroad com pany. The deceased, Cecelia Morti- mer and Josephine Mortimer, were staying at Wright's house where he lived with his father. The deceased. George Green, lived a little dis tance further on. Josephine Morti- mer and Green were employed at the Plastic Moulding Company's plant in Sandy Hook and CeceIia Mortimer was employed In Bridge port. The road from Wright's house had been in an icy condition, but on the morning of December 10th, 1881, it had so thawed that there was no longer any stretches of un- broken ice, particularly where the road came down a hill to the rail- road crossing. On that date Wright started in the morning just before seven-thirty from his house. He was driving a Chevrolet coupe and he had as passengers in the car with him Cecelia and Josephine Mortimer and George Green. There was q considerable bank at the point where the road down which Wright was travelling approached the railroad. The bank was so high in, fact that when an automobile stood in the highway thirty-eiEht feet from the nearest rail as 1t came down the hill the operator only had view eigh:-four and one- half feet westerly alo:s the right of way of the railroad company. On the day in question the New York. New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company operated under regular schedule motor bus easterly from

The New Haven Railroad was ex- onerated to-day from all criminal responsibility in connection with the deaths of four persons in South bury on December 10th. Robert M. Burns operator of the train which crashed into car driven by Wal ter Wright of Southbury, who with three passengers died of injuries suffered in the crash was yindi- cated to-day by the coroner's find- ing. The finding in part is as fol- lows:
 Having been notified on the 10th day of December, A. D.. 1881, that George Green, a white male, about thirty-five years of age. had come to a sudden. violent and untimely death. at the Town of Southbury, New Haven County. Connecticut, l at once made all proper inquiry respecting the manner and cause of said death. During said inquiry l learned that as a result of the &C., cident in which Green met his death Cecelia Mortimer, aged thirty-three years, white female, Josephine Mortimer; a white fe- male, twenty-nine years of age. and Walter Wright, white male, forty eight years of age, lay in imminent danger of death at the Danbury hospital in the City of Danbury, Fairfield County. where they had been removed immediately after the accident in which Green was

As Wright was driving down the hill to the rail- road track this bus on, schedule time was approaching the same crossing from the west. Due to this bank above referred to the opera tor of the bus nor Wright were able to observe one another until each was practically on the crossing. Although this crossing had always been treated by the railroad as a private crossing, the operator of the bus was ringing the bell as the bus approached. Wrights machine got onto the rails so that the first wheels had crossed the further track when the motor bus struck it in the middle on the right side.
 As soon as the operator saw Wright come onto the track he did everything possible to stop his ma chine, but was unable to do so. The motor bus operated by Robert M. Burns and in charge of Conductor John E. Lynch was in excellent con-

 Green was found to be dead as he lay alongside the railroad right of way. Cecelia Mortimer, Josephine Mortimer and Wright were remov- ed to the Danbury Hospital. Cece- lia Mortimer died before arrival at the hospital and Josephine Morti.. mer very shortly after her arrival at that institution.

ROAD CLEARED IN DEATH OF 4AT CROSSING
Donovan Proud
 of the Teachers Came to Aid of Unem- plOyed One Hundred
 Per Cent

City employees all over the coun- try are showing a disinclination to stand for reduction in wages for the purposes of helping the unem- ployed. In this as in many other things, Waterbury has shown a commendable spirit. According to Superintendent M. c. Donovan of the public schools, the teachers and other employees of the city of Waterbury have taken a view of this mater which is greatly to their credit. So far as Mir Donovan knows, this is the only city where the ten per cent cut for unem- p.oyed was accepted cheerfully one hundred percent.

Minister Assails
 ''States Rights"
Rev Kenneth Kingston Cites Civil War as Proof That
 Nation Is Above Units of Government

The doctrine of "State Rights was dealt q smashing blow at the Brooklyn branch YMCA forum last night by Rev Kenneth Kingston of St PauPs Methodist church. "The Articles of Confederation, which preceded our constitution" de- clared the speaker. were based on the theory that the rights of the States were supreme. When this federation broke down, the feder- al constitution was adopted and slowly but surely the rights of the states have diminished.
 What the constitution did not do to the rights of the various states was done by the Civil war which demonstrated conclusively that the nation is superior to any single state. Furthermore, the various constitutional amendments such as the 14th, 18th. 18th and 18th have progressively given to our federal government more and more rights at the expense of the states"

According to Mfr. Kingston. the average person j has very little real loyalty to the state. He is loyal to his town or city and in- sists that matters of education and of taxation ought to be handled "at home.' He is also loyal to his nation. Therefore, the state is something in between," which is not very important in the eyes of the average citizen.
 There are two classes of citizens who are anxious to uphold theory of states Rights. They are CD the politicians and CD the oppon- ents of the 18th amendment who happen to live in areas where the majority of people apparently are opposed to the Volstead act.
 Joseph A. Wedzunas. chairman of the Brooklyn YMCA branch forum committee, presided at last nights forum which was attended by 125 young men and took charge of the question period which fol- lowed Kingston's address.

COUNTY AGENT HAS NEVER BEEN
OF ANY Use TO DAClIAR FARMERS
Jack Bennett Wants to Keep County Agent to Herd
Farmers Into Republican and Democratic Camps

ers when they said his services
were needed.
From his work last fall we know
what to expect this spring, but
will advise him to be darned care
full that he isn't found out again.
Jack Bennett says the farmer is
like a kid and needs advise and
guidance and that the agent is
doing this and it can't be measur-
ed in dollars and cents. 1t must
be spiritual advice and guidance
he is referring 30, since it has
nothing to do with the pocket book,
or can it be possible that it is po-
litical guidance that he is refer
ring to; that he thinks the agent
is drawing his salary to help herd
the farmers back under the pro-
tecting paw of the Republican ele-
plant and Democratic donkey. Il
must be admitted that most of the
farmers are straying off by them
selves and are tired of the pro
tecting paw of the old parties: il
the past it has been put down {
little too heavy on the farmers
back.
The Plentywood Herald joins il
the chorus that the Republican,
and Democrats must be sure b
unite to save the county from tn
farmers, but my prediction is tina
you will not be enough. The far
mers will outnumber you. w

the very beginning.
On Wednesday he and a couple
neighbors had been fixing tht
