Prot. Stone did not have time TO

THE BoBfA1L SYSTEM CONDEMNED.

Cefofler MESSENGER yesterday concluded
the. inquest in the case of the little Italian
boy, MICHAEL MARTELL, who was run over
and killed by a Seventh avenue bobtail car
last summer. The verdict of the jury con-
dennis the bobtail system as the cause of the
killing, and holds the directors of the Com
pany responsible for the death.
Although the laws and ordinances have
heretofore sanctioned the use of these con-
ductorless cars. the verdict is nevertheless a
Just and proper one. 1t is not probable that
it will be followed by any proceedings of q
criminal nature against the directors of the
Company. but it is desirable that the people
should realize the fact that it is the bobtail
system which imperils their lives. The r~esolute
action of Coroner MESSENGER in these inquests
has been q valuable auxiliary of THE EVENING
