Edgartown Massachusetts authorities say the Kennedy auto accident inquiry is far from complete with a preliminary finding that Senator Edward Kennedy was at fault and his license suspended pending a hearing. Miss Mary Jo Kopechne drowned when Kennedy’s car left a canal on Chappaquiddick Island. A court will decide if Kennedy faces trial for leaving the scene as other partygoers who reportedly attended a gathering on the island are questioned.
