THE UNION HILL TRAGEDY.
Inquest and Verdict by the Coroner's
Jury-Extraortlinar Jurors Rebuked

Inquest and Verdict by the Coroner's
Jury-Extraordinary Jurors Rebuked
by the Coroner.
The lnquls.tion by Coroner Parsow into the
cause OF the death OF Mrs. Elizabeth Erb, which
was commenced on Wednesday. was continued
last evening in the Town Hall, Union Hill. The
hall was crowded during the proceedings. The
evidence gwen by Mr.. and Mrs. Graham, who re-
side on III nrst moor OF the house in which the
woman came to her end, had already shown
that violent quarrel was going on between the
prisoner. Uhlrich Erb, and deceased shortly before
her death; that the night In their room was sud-
deny extingnisned ana loud noise was heard, as
il tables and chairs were dashed heavily on the
floor; that deceased soon thereafter came down
stairs unable to speak and died in q few moments.
Last evening the jurors heard the evidence of
County Physician Stout who gave the opinion
That death had resulted from fatty degeneration
OF the heart, superinduced by excitement.
Scratches were visible on the right ear.
1t will be remembered that one OF the
physicians who visited the place and
viewed the body was OF opinion that death had
resulted from choking. Mrs. Gloss and her daugh-
ter, who live in the adjoining house, testified to
having seen deceased and her husband prior to
her DEATH in confederation oil other witnesses.
Frederick HUH. a man living in the same house,
swore that ne heard a scutfle in Erb's room and
that deceased was screaming. After taking the
testimony OF Constable Nash the Coroner charged
the jury, reviewing the evldence. He reprimanded
several Of them for giving expression to
the testimony. and said they should
not allow those preludices to influence their de-
liDerati0ns. This alusi0n had reference to some
OF the jurors whO on the first night OF the inquest,
urged the Coroner to let the man 90. The hall
was then cleared and the jurors retired. Shortly
alterward they brought In the following
EXTRAORDINARY VERDICT
ave md That elizabeth Erb came to her death
from natural causes, and we ex0nerate the pris.
0ner Unlrich Erb from all blame" On reading
this Coroner Parslow exclaimed :-'Gentlemen, 1
cannot conscientiously accept such verdict.
There Is ample testimony to show that
the womans death was Immediately caused
by over excitement, to say the least,
and you must lay the responsibility OF that wnere
1t belongs. You shall retire again." This was not
very agreeable to Uhrtch's over jealous frien0s.
the jurors again retired, and, after long discus.
sion, returned verdict that Elizabeth Erb came
TO her death rom heart disease brought on by ex.
cltement, but IN what manner SAID excitement
was brought on is unknown to the jury.n The
Coroner reluctantly accepted this verdict, but
ordered the prisoner to be committed to the
county jail to await the action Of the Grand Jury.
Uhrich had been conveyed to the town prison, ia
