Coroner Exonerates
 Rev. Edward J. Duffy
Official Finding Filed Today in Death of Guy E. Law-
 renee, 2O-EIeadIights Blinded Driver of Car

No evidence of carelessness or recklessness wes found by Coroner John T. Monxani in his ofilcial in- vestigatlon of the death on Novem- Der 20 of Guy Lawrence, 90, of Mill Plain avenue. Tn c finding filed to- day with the clerk of the superior court and made public, Coroner Monzani exonerates Rev. Edward J. Duffy, assistant pastor of the Sacred Heart church, operator of the auto- mobile involved.
 The coroner's ofilcial finding reads as follows:
 Deceased, who was employed at the Waterbury Republican, left his homo to 90 to his work in the early morning of November 28, 1036. To go to his work he travelled along the Meriden road and on this par tlcular morning was travelling on the north side of the Meriden road ct Q point just east of the Byrolly garage, which Is located on the westerly corner of Enoch street and Meriden road. East of Enoch street there are two slngle.family houses on the north side of the road and no buildings on the south side of the road between that point and Frost road. On the north side oi the road, north of the hard surface there is Q shoulder, then Q gutter and Q narrow sidewalk made of ashes but built up from the gutter and shoulder of the highway.
 As deceased was walking along on this cinder sidewalk in front of the second house easterly of Enoch street, an automobile belonging to William Griffin and operated by Rev. Edward J. Duffy, curate at the Sacred Heart church in Water bury, was travelling westerly on the north side of the highway. It had been raining just previous to this time and Father Duffy says that as he ncared the point I have de- scribed he was forced to the north side of the road by an automobile, with very bright headlights, going in the opposite direction. In order to escape this automobile he pulled way over to his right. In doing so he ran off the highway and up on the cinder sidewalk where he struck Guy Lawrence, directly in front of the entrance to this sec ond house, which is occupied by a family named Horton. The boys body was dragged to the laneway between that house and the next, at which point Father Duffy stopped his car, the body resting in the driveway. Father Duffy went at once to the Byrolly garage, from which point q call was sent in for c police ambulance and the boy was taken by the ambulance to St. Marys hospital. The accident oc- cured at about 2:30 o'clock in the morning and the boy died ct 3:lO on the same morning. The boy had e compound fracture of the right tibia and fibula, laceration of the scalp with probable fracture of the skull and crushed chest.
