Strange Features in Death

studying information gathered at the inquest into the death Sunday. of Henry Walthars of Bingham street who dropped from the attic window of the four story house in which he lived with his son, Charles Walthars of Bingham street.
 Some of the questions which the coroner must answer to his own satisfaction before rendnerins n verdict on the case are: How was it that the body of MT Walthars got through the small attic window without knocking over several baskets perched on the sill of the window? If death were caused as a result of fall 1t would not seem likely the body would not have toppled over these baskets in plunging out the win- dow.
 Police have said Mir Walthars hahd suffered fits Of melancholy but there is no definite reason glv- en which might have caused sui- eide. But there is also the question of why the fall should nave been from this particular room in the attic which was used as A storage room. Mir Walthar's bedroom, it Is said. was in the ate tic but on the other side of the house. The coroner has called 1t one of tho strangest cases he has met ln some time. No finding in tho ease is exxpected for some time yet.

 Will Repair Plane
 Carl w. Thompson, Jr, of New street was busy today preparing to get his plane into shape again. He was made happy yesterday when the plane was returned by AL phonse Widziewicz and his brother of Union City after being found tr an open cornfield. The field was near the end of Prospect street. The plane which ran away from it's owner in a trial flight Sunday afternoon at Middlebury, had got as far as there and apparently glided down on a pile of cornhusks there.
 A man working nearby saw it and when the Widzwiewicz boy came along. offered to sell it to him for a dollar. The boy saw MT Thompson's name on the plane, however, and had it brought to his home. Carl was notified and made haste to get his craft.
 There was no damage to the most valuable part of the plane, the engine. The landing gear was bent somewhat and the paper on the wings was badly torn but these damages will not take. long to, re- pair. MT Thompson is satisfied his plane has proved itself. Now his big problem VIII DC now to controI it in future flights.
 Suffers Injuries
 A simple fall on the steps of St Mary's church Saturday night re- suited in many injuries for Mrs Tracy Breen, we'll known North Main street woman. Mrs Breeh missed her step and fell to the concrete sidewalk. She fractured her nose, suffered severe contusions of both knees and abrasions about the face. Michael and Frank Smith, who were near the church, took Mrs Breen to the office of Dr Edwin Curran.
 She was treated there and then removed to her home. She is con- valescing now. She is reported im- proved today.
