Corner Heffran Changes Place From His Office at Washington to Canonsburg
SUBPOENAING WITNESSES
Coroner James T. Heffran has changed his mind as to the place where the inquest will be held and has decided to conduct it in the council chamber of the borough building on Friday morning, September 1. He had first announced that the inquest would be held in Washington.
Chief of Police Samuel H. Swan is now serving subpoenas on those who were in the building at the time of the catastrophe. It is not known yet how many witnesses will be called, but chief swan is determined that ones who saw the flash, heard the fatal cry and beheld the death waiting jam shall be at the inquest. The subpoenas are blank and the chief of police has full power to summon those whom he thinks knows anything about the accident.
