The jury of fire inquest over the burned
capitol returned the following verdict: ,
put up in room under the control of the
Attorney General, ]. II. McLeary. We
| find that the fire was not purely acci-
dental, but was caused by the negligence
of Attorney General McLeary in not hav-
| ing made himself familiar with the heat
ing facilities of the rooms which the law
places under his special care and control ;
also in permitting stove to
be put up in a room controlled
by him without directing an examination
of the practicabilty thereof; by the negli-
gence of Mr.. Edmundson in having the
stove put up without investigating as to the
existence of the fue; by negligence of B.
Erickson in placing q stove-pipe into a hole
| in the wall without sufficiently examining
with the hue, but we do not
believe that criminal negligence can be
charged against either Attorney General
McLeary, Edmundson or b. Erickson. as the
| hole i'm the wall was blackened by smoke, and
the hole in the opposite side being ceiled.

genuine flue; and we find that for want
of water from the hydrants at the critical
moment the fire could not be extinguished.

up their verdict.
