THE VERDICT.
Death Resulted from Natural Causes.

The inquest to determine the cause Of the
death Of Miss Emma Spring met at the County
Attorneys Office yesterday and the case was
most thoroughly investigated by the Attorney.
Drs True, Files and Bray, who conducted the
post mortem examination testified that the
death was caused by Bright's disease of the
kidneys. DR.. T. A. Foster testified to the
same. DR.. Hall of Cumberland testified that
he treated the deceased for dropsy last sum-
mer. Mrs. Sherman, with whom she lived for
two weeks, says she was troubled with SWELL
ing of the feet. Several of her neighbors testi-
fed to facts pointing to the same result. After
all this testimony the jury very naturally
brought in the following verdict:
The jury find that said Emma A. Spring
came to her death (date and place) from natu-
raj causes, and from the testimony of the ply
sicians we are of the opinion that the cause of
her death was "Bright's disease of the kid.
neys," and that the pregnancy of the deceased
fastened the result of the disease.
The verdict was given at five O'Clock, after
which the City Marshal was ordered to release
Mr.. Henderson. This conclusion of the case
was limited at in the PRESS yesterday morning.
