Altoona Mirror' HIGHWAY WORK IS MAKING PROGRESS Rebuilding of Mountain Route, a Stupendous Task Because of Changes In Roadway, Moving Steadily On. Aided. by ideal weather conditions, splendid progress was made this week by the contractors in charge of the construction work on 'ithe Cressoh mountain section of the William Penn highway, West of Duhcaflsvllle, and the excavating artd grading on the lower section of the stretch Under construction is rapidly nearing a llnish. Another couple of Weeks will see the completion of all the rough grading east of the Muleshoe culvert, if the weather is right, have stated.

The rough grading is finished eastward from the arch'at the Muleshoe, where a few hundred feet have been omitted from the present contract, to a point at the west end of the lower Muleshoe reservoir, where the largest 111 online entire job is being rapidly aullt up with four large steam' shovels and a big fleet of trucks moving great quantities of earth for that purpose, dally. If favorable weather for the con- tjnuation of the work prevails, It is expected to be able to begin pouring concrete eastward from the Muleshoe arch about the middle of September. The final or "fine" grading, a minor operation in road construction, Immediately precedes the pouring of the concrete. In preparation for the pouring of concrete, work is under way at the material yard and supply base at the Duncansville railroad station getting the necessary equipment in shape. Bins for material are under construction and the aggameter is being erected.

A mixer is on the site and.is being repaired and put into condition for the Job ahead of it. It is the aim of the contracting company to complete the pouring of the section of the job east of the Muleshoe first and then devote the remainder of the construction season, if, any, to work on the section west of that point, where progress up to this Clme has been slower. The part east' of the Muleshoe has no concrete arches or bridges on it, while west of the culvert there are several such small structures, all of which are now nearing completion, while there is a long retaining wall at the Prince Gallitzin spring, designed to not have the beauty of that widely known spot marred by the. new highway passing some distance back of the spring on a new location. The course of Blair's creek, which winds its way down the valley to the Muleshoe culvert over the route of the new highway in a number of places, is to be changed to run along the north side of the new road.

This requires considerable shovel work and is just about to be started, the shovel being on the location just above the culvert. The new highway will be straight at this point and the course; of the stream will skirt it, eliminating the construction of a bridge. The grading at the extreme east end of the stretch to be rebuilt, is also completed, with the exception of the placing of a large drain under the roadway, and the forces employed there are moving westward, where the coming week is to see concerted action on the part of the entire force in the finishing ot the preliminary work where the road will parallel the lower Muleshoe reservoir. In tlie nearly six weeks that the highway has been closed to traffic, it has been necessary to suspend operations on but three occasions on account of wet weather and not one full day has been 'lost, including the several Sundays that have intervened. Work was partially suspended on three occasions for 'a half-day period each time.

Unusual weather has greatly aided the contractors since the beginning of the grading operations, with the closing of the road on July 22. The only other interruption was the hitch with the Holliduysburg water department with respect to its line, which was uncovered at one point by the steam shovels. An injunction was served on the contractors, but before the scheduled hearing an amiable settlement was reached. The line has been changed to conform with the new location of the highway and the work is moving towards completion at this particular point. There are no plans for any cessation of activitiep for the week-end and holiday.

LESGH MURDERED, JURY CONCLUDES Coroner's Inquest Is Conducted at City Hall Over Death of Man Whose Body Was Found Near Hospital That Henry Leach, 78, of 80t Willow avenue, whose dead body was found On a vacant lot adolning the Altoona hospital grounds oh the morning of July 14, was a murder victim, was 'the burden of a verdict rendered last night by a coroner's jury following aft Inquest held at City hall. Lesch's remains were discovered early Sunday morning, July 14, with a .22 calibre bullet wound In the right temple, his mouth tightly gagged and a small pistol clutched in His right hand.

His clothing was torn and ripped. Because of these facts the suicide theory, at first advanced, has been abandoned. Other circumstances surrounding the death of the man indicated foul play. A small knife found near the remains, It was later ascertained, did not long to the tiead man and his relatives here declared that he was never known to have owned a. revolver.

A small purse and a house key which he always carried with him were also missing, it developed, A number, of witnesses were called to testify last night by Coroner Chester C. Rothrock. After all the evidence was handed in the jury rendered its verdict in which it said: "His death was caused by a gun shot of a .22 calibre pistol, July 14, 1929, in the hand of some person unknown to the jury." The jury was composed of Raymond H. Tusaey, foreman; Ralph G. Marshall, Lee B.

Carter, Edward Trotter, G. E. Arble and E. R. Mason.

W. F. Grimm of 539 Willow avenue, the man who'discovered the victim's dead body, was the first witness heard. He told of finding the body about 6.15 o'clock in the morning. He said he immediately summoned Paul T.

Troxell of 611 Willow avenue, rear, the latter's home being about 100 feet from where the body was found. Grimm stated that' he was not personally acquainted with Les'ch but hud talked to him on a former occasion when the' man told him that he had lost a considerable sum of money and that he had worked hard all his life. The man, Grimm statud, did not exhibit any sign of being melancholy. Neither Grimm nor Troxell heard the report of the pistol, they said, although their respective residences are comparatively near at hand to the place where the body was discovered. Troxell stated that there was no evidence of a struggle at the where they found Lesch's remains.

W. H. Hunsinger of 501 Willow avenue identified the small penknife which had been found about ten feet distant from the body. An effort to the ownership of this knife was made by Coroner Rothrock but without success. Sergeant Hyman Goldberg of the city police department was called to testify but he contended the death was a plain case of suicide.

Goldberg stated that when he was called to the scene he found that tho imn was gagged and that considerable force Was necessary to extricate the gun which was clutched tightly in the man's right hand. Mr. and Mrs. E. Englert, the latter a niece of the deceased, were not summoned for the inquest.

Coroner Rothrock stated that he had already Interviewed them and that they were unable to throw any light on the matter. Since Lesch's death the Bnglerto have changed their residence from this city to Lock Haven. There were a number of other relatives of the dead man who were at the inquest last night, but each and all of them declared they could give no further information which might lead to solving the apparent mystery of Lesch's demise.
