From‘New Haven to Stamford
Coroner Phelan passed through
'South Norwalk this morning on the
test train with Engineer Doberty. who
figured iii the recent lBtamford acotl
dent. at the throttle. The train. which
also carried several federal authori-
ties, passed through South Norwalk at
12:10 o'clock. stopping at the station
where it remained ten minutes. The
stop was made to show the coroner
anal-other officials where and how ‘En-
gineer Doheriy stopped for a boy. *At
12:20 o‘clock the train continued
southward, towards Stamford.
'Af. Coroner 'Phelan’s hearing in
Stamford. yesterday, New Haven road
officials produced the Stamford round-
house work book. showing Engineer
Doherty's entry of “brakes no good."
The entry was not made under the
head "Air Brakes," but at the bottom
of the page. under the caption “Other
Repairs Needed." "Doherty explained
this by saying that he thought, to«
gether with his other entrrles suggestn
lug examinations of various parts, it
would indicate the necessity of a gen-
eral overhauling.
A sensational incident occurred
when John H. Dillon, brother-in-law
and bondsmnii oi Doherty, charged
that one witness had waited for di-
rections from Attorney B. I. Spock, oi
the New Haven road. before he an-
swered a question put to him by Coro-
ner Phelan. ‘
The name of the witness was not
made public but hewas described as
a "light-haired young gentleman of
the Adams, Express coronary." Dlla
ion said that attorney spook had
nodded to the witness. and that too
latter had then answered "yes" to the
coroner's query.
Sharp words were passed in a dis-
pute as to the speed of the second
short illness. The news came {as a
- severe shock to the relatives' and
many friends of the deceased. Tester-
day. word was received. by telegraph.
that Mr. Selleck was critically ill,
and that, folIOWed closely :by the re
port of the untimely death, severely
, shocked all who knew MrNSelleck. He
leaves a widow and'two children and
, many relatives in this town.
Mr. Sol-lock was a former business
man in The Norwalks. He was iden-
tified with the illryant and Reese
concern, in Norwalk, and later was in
partnership with G. Louis Price. of
South Norwalk. Savoring «his connec-
tion with Mr. Price. he opened a?
men's clothing establishment in Nor-
walk at the corner of River and Wall
streets. where he kept a popular place
of business for a number of years.
Only recently he went west and was
doing finely when stricken with the
fatal illness. Further particulars will
be given in tomorrow's paper.

gave his testimony.
