Brakes No Good on Springfield Express Wreck
Stamford, Conn. June 16 Coroner Phelan opened an inquiry into the New Haven railroad wreck of the Springfield express last Thursday. The railroad book entry dated June 10 by Engineer Charles J.

John H Dillon, brother in law of Doherty, charged a witness waited for direction from Attorney B I Spock of the New Haven railroad before answering a coroner's question.
