The inquest into the death of Gilsoa W. Jeunlnll. Wilton,
and Walter Norman, Broad street, before coroner John J. Phelan

of the Connecticut company and insurance oomgenies for their
, tactics in "signing up" witnesses to statements

the Norman estate.

The fact was also very wellcstab-
lished that the automobile which
crashed hoadon into a. Winnipauk
trolley car at Nash's corner, was
operated by' Mr. Jennings himself
and that Norman was riding in the
front seat beside him.

ious companies “sowing" witnesses

had signed a statement for a man
whom he thought represented the!
Connecticut company. He siutcd he
that he thought he had to sign the
statement.
Coroner Phelan said that slgningo
of statements made it \ory un-V
pleasant for the coroner at these in-
quest» and asked if the man whom
had taken the statement of the Mil-
ler boy was in the court room.- He ’
use not.
Kcogh's Protest. 1
Judge Keogh in speaking on the
matter said: ,
“in those death cases the coroner
l.oids impartial and fair hearings as
an officer of the state. and if the
Connecticut company or insurance
companies. talk and suggest to wit-
nesses. and have them sign Slate-
menls. the witnesses think that they
have to stand by those statements on
the witness stand and the coroner is
bound to get a statement
made up.
