FOUND DsAD-A man named James Gibbons.
and who for n long time has been associated |
with the "Society Of Bommmers' in this city, |
was fonnd dead on Friday morning in the viein. |
iiy OF 18Th and West Streets. When discovered |
his head was in we'll covered with waier. II |
is supposed that he had kneeled down for the
purpose Of drinking some water and being under
the influence Of liquor had lost his equilibrium
and was unable to extricate himself from his
p'rllous position. The deceased when found,
had marks Of injuries about the head, which led
the Coroner who held an inquest on the body,
to call in DR.. Norris, who made post norton
examination. The following is the
7tstimony Of Dr. Geo. Pepper Norris before The
coFonsrs Inquest on the body Of James Gibbons
At the request of Coroner Killgore made at
post morton examination on the body Of James
Gibbons, aged "a, carter. The body was free
from bruises or injuries, with the exception Of n
slight abrasion of the skin extending down the
back of the right thigh. An incsed wound Of
the scalp about three inches 10 length cutting
through the muscular parieties and periosteum
was discovered. An examination of the heart
showed the cavities much distended with blood !;
the lungs were of about average size and weight
aud presented the usual indications of death from
drowning. The opinion Of the undersigned there
, fore is that the death of James Gibbons was not
t caused by the incised wound on the scalp, but
e by sutfocation. Drowning is caused by sufoca-
: tion oxygen gas being prevented from entering
, the lungs, the change from venus to arteriai
o blood does not take place the heart does not
therefore receive its natural stimulus and beats
:, slower and slower until it ceases to beat alto
n gether."
= The verdict of the Jury was that III,
a deceased came to his death by drowning Th,
wound upon his head being from causes unknown
to the jury.
