THE PARKER CASE.
Verdict Of the Coroner's Jury.

Thursday at Sanford in York county, the
coroner's jury in the case OF Mrs. e. b. Parker
whose recent sudden death while sitting at the
breakfast table occasioned SO much comment
in that town (the particulars of which were
reported at length in our columns at the time)
convened at the residence Of Ivory B. Allen
in Sanford, and after q critical examination IL
to the minute particulars of the death, the con-
dition of Mrs. Parkers affairs prior and sub
sequent to her death rendered their verdict
substantially as follows:
That the death of Mrs. Parker was OCCASION
ed wholly by natural causes, no traces Of poi
son in any form having been discovered in the
analysis of the contents OF the stomach-in
technical terms she died of atrophy.
The verdict was in accordance with a critical
analysis of the stomach by Prof. F. L, Bartlett,
State Assayer of this city, who examined it
for the purpose of discovering traces OF any
poisons commonly used. He found no traces
whatever of either, all of his tests showing
negative results.
Drs Day and Merrill who made the post
mortem examination testified at length before
the jury upon the condition of the body OF the
deceased. Ine former SAID tnaJ from MS eA-
animation together with the testimony of Drs
McCorrison and Hanson Of North Berwick,
tho -svot4aan,s attending physicians his opinion
was that the death of Mrs. Parker WIS causea
nv naralysis Of the heart together with atrophy
or consumption of the brain.
This satisfactory result of the investigation
effectually puts stop to the thousand and one
idle rumors which have been circulated regard
ing this sad affair and removes from some OF
the leading citizens of the town the slightest
breath of suspicion. A gentleman who is
thoroughly conversant with the history OF the
case assures us that the stories of unbecoming
conduct on the part of the deceased ladys
husband and his grandson are utterly without
foundation If that be so the PRESS unwilling
ly did them injustice though at the time it be-
lieved it had trustworthy authority for its
statements. Testimony was offered at the in
quest it is said showing that the deceased and
her husband always lived pleasantly together
and that there were no quarrels between them
about money matters, and that the scene
which is reported to have occurred on the
evening previous to her death was highly
imaginative.
