No action will be taken by Coroner
Phelan in the case of the finding of
the young woman's body in New Ca
naan until he has received a report
from the state police, who are inves
tigating the mystery. Medical Ex
aminer Brooks of New Canaan, tele
phoned to the coroner this morning
to say that he intended to perform an
autopsy on the body and would report
to the coroner tomorrow upon the
result.
The woman was apparently about
25 years old and had been dead about
two months when the body was found
yesterday by two hunters who were
walking through the woods outside
of New Canaan. The police of
Springfield, Mass .think the body
may be that of Grace Dwyer, who
disappeared from Springfield about
two months ago.
On the ground that beans, excelsior
and dirt were mixed with the browrj
sugar, the Bridgeport Paper Co. re
fused to pay for a consignment of the
sweet stuff which was purchased from
Jaburg Bros, of New York during the
sugar shortage in 1918. The New York
j frim sued for $3,000 damages and the
trial or the suit against the Paper Co.
was held yesterday afternoon in the
Superior court before Judge Curtis.
It is claimed that 10,000 poun'fls of
sugar were purchased with the under
standing that it was of first grade.
Instead of that the article delivered
proved to be of poor quality. , Attor
ney Frederick E. Morgan, represent
ing the Paper Co., declared the sugar
was so hard that it was necessary to
j use a mallet to crack it and that res
I taurant owners,; who had been de
iipend3i upon as purchasers, refused
to buy it. Judge Curtis reserved de
cision in the case.
