WALTER DAILY IS HELD INNOCENT
Death of Joseph Hines in WOlcOtt Not Due to
 Criminal Act

The death of Joseph Hines, about 60, from injuries suffered when struck by an automobile on the Waterbury, Bristol road, in Wolcott, was not due to any criminal negli- gence, says Deputy Coroner William B. Hennessy in a finding issued to- day. He absolves the driver of the car, Walter Daly, of 130 Meriden road, of any criminal negligence.
 Hines was struck by Daly's car Aug. 13. He died the next day, hav- ing suffered severe head and body injuries.
 The finding states that Daly was operating his car at a reasonable rate of speed, that the vehicles lights were on, an that Daly made every effort to avoid the collision. Hines was wearing dark clothing and the roadway was black-surfaced 1t states.
 Witnesses examined included Daly Motor Patrolmen Raymond Grady and John Murphy of Waterbury; Officers Howard Kraft and Gordon Culver of Wolcott and Michael Aris- co, of Cheshire.
 The finding follows:
 On August 18th, 1888, at about Il D. m., the deceased was walking in . northerly direction on the easterly side of the Waterbury Vol colt road, in the town of Wolcott, and upon reaching point just north of the Waterbury -Wolcott town line, Walter Daly, of 130 Meri- den road, Waterbury, Conn.,, ap- preached operating his own 193O Ford coupe automobile and proceed ing in an opposite or southerly direction toward Waterbury on his right or westerly side of said Water -Wolcott road. Daly was prop erly licensed operator of motor vehicles and was proceeding at a reasonable rate of speed. The head lights of his car were in order and lighted.
 Daly did not see the deceased un- til he was almost upon him and made every reasonable effort to avoid him, turning his car sharply to his right and towards an em- bankment at the right or westerly side of the road. However, the de- ceased stepped directly into Daly's car and was struck glanf' 9. on the rightz-siff 2ouy by the left front iender, severe blow on the head by the metal upright or arm bordering the windshield at the left, and a blow on the right temple by the handle of the left door. The deceased was so struck on the right or westerly side of the road and at the right or westerly

or the unpledged New Britain dele- gation to the impending state con- vention at Eastern Point, Septem- Der 1914.
 The name of John A. Danaher, of Meriden, was pushed forward as Re- publican candidate for United States Senator; as running-mate for Will liam J. Pape, Waterbury publisher, and former Independent Republi- can" candidate for lieutenant-gov- ernor on the ticket headed by Albert Levitt, Bedding.
 Grand Jury Is In
 Thus, Waterbury Grand Jury ramifications took political form at last. For Attorney McDonough is representing Alderman Thomas P. Kelly, of Waterbury, one of the number accused in the grand jury charges. And John A. Danaher was 8 close associate of Mayor John Buckley, of Union, and served under Major Buckley as Assistant United States Attorney at Hartford. Major Buckley resigned from the Repub- lican State Central Committee un- der pressure after he had been cen- sured in the grand jury report for lobbying practices.
 Attorney McDonough Currently is attacking legality of the appoint me0t of Hugh M. Alcorn as special prosecutor in the Waterbury Grand Jury proceedings. And MT. Alcorn may yet announce that he, too, is a candidate for the Senate.
 Democrat Harmony
 Connecticut Democrats, however, with bare fortnight before the state convention, were endeavoring today to preserve party harmony in the two complicated situations-the battles for the U. s. senator and Acknowledgements nominations.
 The struggles for both nomina- lions were of an unusual nature,

DIARIES MAY BE
 PROOF OF CRIME

Auburn, Me, Aug. 31.-(UP)- Diaries may be used in efforts to establish-and disprove-an alibi for former Deputy Sheriff Francis Car roll for the night of May IS when John w. Penney was slain, it was learned today. Next Tuesday the Androscoggin county grand jury is to consider testimony of four witt nesses placing Carroll at Penney's Auburn filling station an hour or two before the murder. Carroll al- ready is serving life sentence for the staying of Dr. James G. Little field of South Paris.
 Reports today were that Mrs. Mabel Carroll, the convict's elderly mother, was ready to submit her diary in an effort to show that her son was elsewhere when Penney was fatally bludgeoned. At the same time 1t became known that one of the four witnesses who claim to have seen Carroll at the murder scene has diary to support his statement. Carroll's wife Ruby has told authorities that he and she were visiting friends at the time Penney was slain.
