Mystery of Edwards Death Favors Murder Theory
New Haven case splits over whether Charles A Edwards killed himself or was murdered. W H Edwards, nephew of the deceased, gathered new expert testimony to challenge the coroner's verdict and pursue a $5,000 policy claim against Fidelity and Casualty Company. Evidence includes blood traces and gunshot details at the Hiller home, with experts suggesting foul play and motive linked to Hiller family disputes.

Ice Seals Harbor Traffic Slows Ferry and Tug Boats
Ice filled the harbor from Hell Gate to the Narrows, trapping ferry boats Montauk and Brooklyn and slowing east and west river traffic. Tugs and a dozen rail line ferries struggled as wind and ebb tide kept a narrow passage open on the west side. The Calumet assisted boats stranded in ice while wreckers tried and failed to raise the Luckenbach tug. Patrolman Dilion died from a fractured skull after a park incident. City crews labored to clear snow and slush across streets.
