Tho first family visited was that of Tony Stransky. It was Tony'p son, driving Q carload of people to Waterbury who witnessed the shooting. He told Sheriff Norton he saw Crow aiming his rifle across the road at the hired man. He was afraid to drive on in his car for fear of getting into the line Of fire. Tony and his family hoard nothing and saw no one.
 The next stop. half q mile away was at the homo of James Dieter, caretaker of the Mattatuck Water Co, property at Cedar Lake. He did not see Crow but reported hear. ing several shots down in the woods toward the spot, half way from where Crow left his car, just before o'clock.
 Shooting Verified
 Mrs Lewis Johnson, living at the next farm about quarter of a mile away, also reported hearing the shots. This verified the shooting report given by Dieter. Mrs Hat tie Mccormack living on Spindle Hill said her daughter heard tho shots in the same section in the woods.
 The families named were the only ones living on the roads surround. ing the forest. All were nervous and had their houses illuminated While no evidence of guns could 'he seen, but from remarks passed, II was made known that firearms were not too far from hand.

 Half Q dozen members or the Congress club, questioned by pc. lice, furnished information indi. eating that a group of four or five men that may have included Cor. fey attempted in vain to enter the club shortly before the shooting.
 The woman resident. whose name was withheld. told police that at least 12 shots were fired in the affray. After Coffey dropped to the street she heard one of the gang remark: We got him and got him right this time."

 Seldom has a criminal case in this part of the country attracted 50 much attention. Several New York papers put in dozens of calls for complete particulars. The Daily News rushed Q photographer up by airpiane, tho cnmepamen landing at Bethany field and drivin gup from there.He arrived, however, in time for just Q few daylight "shots."
 Notable during the late afternoon was the way in which witnesses differed almost completely in their versions of the exact order and method of the shootings. By the time the stories had been trans. mitted to the eager crowds, they were distorted beyond recognition.
 Sheriff Henry Norton and Lieut. Arthur Warrington went on solo search through the woods for Crow, but were unable to find any trace of him. They traversed much of the territory where the murderer was believed to be in hiding.
 As early as o'clock, Lieut. schatzman attempted to enlist bioodhounds in the search. Tho owner of the only ones available, at Orange, refused, however, to let the dogs track the criminal Efforts to secure bloodhounds else. where proved fruitless.
 While most of the spectators and a mum Der of policemen were gath. sred at the corner of the road leading to the shack occupied by Crow, 0 sharp report was heard from down the road. Almost the whole group rushed down the road D quarter-mile to find that the noise had been that of an automobile backflre.
 Two Democrat reporters accom- panied Sheriff Norton of Wolcott and Lieut. Warrington of Waterbury on q com plete motor circuit of tho area in which Crow was believed to Do hiding. The territory covered approximately eight square miles.
