which caused death fifteen hours af-
VVhilc this search
is being conducted. Mathew Lock-

son of the deceased. is lying in a cri-
tical condition at his home in New
lt‘airficld under constant medical sur—
vcllance with three fractured ribs.
:in injured shoulder and other injur—
ice.
The appearance of a third party
in the automobile accident presents
even a more mystifying problem than
the phantom trolly car did in the re-
cent inquest conducted into the death
of Stephen liner. At least three
witnesses testified to seeing: the trolley
car in the latter inquest. but appa—
ently the third party in the Lockwood
accidently picked himself up after the
machine overturned. calmly walked
off through the crowd that gathered
around the car without bothering his
head 0 find out how badly the elder
Lockwood and his son were injured.
As a climax. it is believed that the
phantom passenger secured a ride
in unolhcr automobile to his home in
Ridge'ield. ‘
This new development in the Lock—
wood accidcnt was brought to light
yesterday afternoon previous to the
inquest conducted by Coroner John
J. l’hclan. when Medical Examiner
Samuel ll. Huntington and Deputy
Sheriff 1-2. Rules. of Ridgeficld. M‘gau
to compare notes.
During the conversmtion. Medical
Examiner Huntington mentioned the
fact that he had been told at Vnast
Brothers' garage that a young man
answering to the description of Mat-
fthew Lockwood had {called at the
garage Monday afternoon. and in-
quired about the condition of the
Ford machine which figured in the
accident. The man had an arm in a.
sling and his chest bandaged and dc-
