TRIPLE INQUIRY IS STARTED IN GROTTODEATHS Probe of Crash That Cost Nineteen Lives Pushed; Coroner First. The three-sided inquiry into Friday night’s interurban-trailer crash that cost nineteen lives and seriously injured nine others was pushed vigorously today. The State, through the agency of the Public Service Commission; Marion County, through the office of Coroner Charles H. Keeves, and the city, through the accident prevention bureau of the police department, joined hands in the probe. Blame to Be Fixed Blame for the collision of the Union Traction Company interurban and the truck drawn trailer crowded with members of Sahara Grotto and their wives and friends, will be fixed in the State and county investigations. Prevention of recurrence is the only purpose of the police inquiry. At 10 a. m. today Coroner Keever opened an inquest. After hearing the testimony of Lieut. O. D. Thomas, who directed the work of the police emergency squad first to arrive on the scene of the crash, the coroner postponed the hearing until 9 a. m. Tuesday. This was done so that survivors and eye witnesses might attend funeral services today. Will Take Several Days The coroner said it would be several days after all witnesses were heard before his verdict would be forthcoming. He is without authority to call as witnesses the crew of the interurban, W. W. Merrill, 51, of 6295 College Ave., injured motorman, and Hal Titus, 38, or 2525 E. Tenth St., conductor, and the truck driver, Harry Stewart, 38, of 6 S. West St., for all are charged with involuntary manslaughter, at liberty under $2,500 bonds. They may, however, make statements voluntarily. Public Service Commission Chairman Frank T. Singleton named Commissioner Calvin Mclntosh to conduct the commission’s inquiry, assisted by David Matthews, chief railroad inspector for the commission and J. K. Smith, Matthews’ assistant.

Lover Slays Two Girls; Plunges to Death in Car Bn United, Press CHICAGO, Oct. 17.—A tragedy of long-standing youthful love, a girl* who liked to play but did not want to wed and a suiter stricken with hopeless illness ended in the death of two girls and a young man here today. Margaret Martin, 18, schoolgirl, and Catherine Stadler, 19, stenographer, were shot to death and hurled from the automobile in which they were rising with William Winter, 21. Last night he determined on a final effort to win Miss Martin’s love. He called for her in his car. She insisted on taking Miss Stadler with them, over Winter’s protest. They drove around Chicago streets for some time. Friends saw them laughing and chatting, apparently enjoying themselves. Presumably, Winter pleaded with Miss Martin to marry him, and when she again refused became crazed. Shortly after 1 o’clock residents along Rhodes Ave. heard two shots. Some looked from their windows in time to see the bodies of the two girls thrown from the car. There was another shot, a crash as the car hit the pole, and the tragedy was ended.

Rhoads referred the matter to the attorney general, whd ruled that foregn consuls were not entitled to free plates.
