The jury then traced Xelley's course
from the church by drops of blood to
Mr.. CantwelPs field, near town,
where there were signs that he had
fallen or been thrown from his horse
against the wire,fence. The jury's
verdict was that his death was from
heart trouble, caused by drunkenness
and loss of blood. A report at frs
spread that he was beat to death byun
known parties, but the coroner's yer
diet no doubt gives the facts in the
case.
