an order probably Issued early this
summer by the utilities commissioner.
To Introduce New Plan
When these investigations and court
actions are disposed of, McColloch
will probably Introduce a valuation
practice at variance with the proced
ure of the last four years, he indl
cated. This plan will be based on
co-operative action with the utilities
wherein periodic reports on additions
to the capital account of companies
will be filed with the commissioner.
"My observations since taking office
on the costs and length of time con
sumed In complete Investigations are
rapidly leading me to the conclusion
that long drawn out, expensive In
vefctl gat ions, spasmodically Indulged
In at Intervals of several years, are
an economic waste," McColloch added

Greene and Costello satd murder
charges against Hurd, now In General
hospital because of his serious
wounds, would be filed.
They will continue questions of
neighbors, chief of whom la the
woman named In a bizarre "confes
sion" of Infidelity signed by Hurd
last Sunday and witnessed by his
wife and adopted daughter, Miss
Nellie A. Hurd. 44. Miss Hurd was
Jailed last night aa a material wit
ness but released on bond.
The neighbor, questioned by the
officers scoffed . at the confession's
allegations against her as did Hurd,
who claimed he signed It as Mrs.
Hurd stood pointing a pistol at his
head.,
Wounds Disclosed
Detectives gasped last night wt.en
Hurd, stripping off his clothing, dis
closed the evidence of Mra. Hurd's
alleged inquisition. His story, city
detectives said, probably waa true.
Miss Hurd denied her step-father
had been tortured and Insisted he
signed of his free will a "confession"
of infidelity with a neighbor woman
and of his giving her $15,000.
The purported "confession," found
by police in the Hurd home, waa re
pudiated by the 77-year old husband.
He charged It had been obtained
"while she was standing with a gun
at my head."
"My wife waa killing me by Inches"
he cried ss he began removing., his
clothes. "Sometimes she beat me all
night. She chained me to the bed
and I waa too 111 to fight back.
"Look there." he continued point
ing at one leg. "She had a double
edged dagger and plunged It Into the
muscle by the shin bone every time
I refused to sign that confession."
