(Special to The Times.) AshevUlc, N. C , Sept. 19. So far as the inquest into the case of Myr lie Hawkins hag progressed it ap pears the authorities are still baf fled. Numerous clues that gave prom. iso of results have led nowhere About six yesterday afternoon the inquest adjourned until 3:30 this af ternoon. Though a number of wit nesses were examined, the evidence did not lead to conclusions as to the manner of death. Some witnesses testified seeing George Bradley with the girl Thursday afternoon. Mrs, Wright told of hearing a woman's screams Wednesday night and her daughter testified finding Myrtle's clock Saturday in the spillway of the lake. The clock stopped at 9:30 o'clock. The prosecution sought to show that anotiicr trained nurse was in the vicinity. The finding of blood stained garments complicates the case.. ; : .'..''-.-' Every theory seems contradictory of other theories. The body was most decomposed about the face. If left in the air a corpse first decomposes in the stbmacTi. If in the water about the head. If soen Thursday it is improbable shp was screaming Wednesday night. Coroner Kirk referred to the news papers which had published false re ports of case, saying the correspond cnts would be excluded from the hearings If they did not reform. He said he did not mean all the papers, No arrests have .been made. . Yestetfday Afternoon's Hearing. The majority of Witnesses intro duced yesterday afternoon offered testimony to rebut the evidence of George Bradley, one of t tie suffeets, who testified Friday that he had' not seen Mrytle on the fatal Thursday.' Miss Rose Sunofsky stated that she saw Myrtle and George Bradley Thursday afternoon between four and five o'clock. Mrs. Bessie Clark Guice, who Is charged - with performing the crimi nal operation, which resulted in Myrtle's death, has not been appre hended. ' . With the reopening of the inquest Coroner W. R. Kirk sprung a sensa tion, when he said: "Before beginning this case I want to say to the gentlemen of the press that you have criticized the jury, the county and town officials, including the corona, I think, very unjustly. I have tried to treat the members of the press with every courtesy and willingly subpoenaed all witnesses suggested by any one. It Is my ob ject and that of : the other officers ( Continued on Pase Two.l . (Special to The Times.)

The car workers officials state this noon that they have received no word from their headquarters at Chicago Mr. E. M. Doughty, chairman of the general grievance, committee who met with the railroad officials at Wilmington yesterday will be here in the morning. This -was announced definitely. No statement regarding the actual results of the conference at Wilming ton yesterday have been given out. Mr. Smith is credited', however, with having said that an early settlement Is likely. It is believed here that Mr. Douughty obtained a statement from Mr. Smith which will allow the men to go back to work ponding the settlement of the caboose car propo sition. If this is true it is probable that there will be no strike. If It is not true tho men here say that they feel that a strike is inevlable. No Change At Wilmington. Wilmington, N', C, Sept. 19 In an interview today, Mr. W. X.
