ON THE w0MAN's BODY.
The body of Lizzie Taggert, the report
SAID, WIS examined % hours after death
There were evidences that she had been in
pregnancy seven months. Death resulted
from blood poisoning DR.. Lowther then
explained that the vagina was bruised and
torn, which he believed had been done by
the delivery of the child. There
was no evidence that the
child had suffered any iniury
that could have been received from the
mothers falling, or being hurt externally
In any way. There were no evidences of
adhesion of the fetus to the wall of the
womb ~ would have been the case had
the child been injured by an external in
jury to the mother The placenta was also
in healthy condition, which would not
have been the case had the child been
dead long. In their opinion the child was
we'll and healthy at least shortly before it
was delivered.
The report and the conclusion of DR..
Cox's testimony concluded the evidence in
the case. Prosecutors Bainbridge and
Wyie stated that they had more witnesses
but their effect would only be cumulative
The jury was then instructed and retired.
The twelve good men aud true" didn't
seem to have very clear idea as to what q
verdict was, and after long discussion they
returned verdict that the deceased had
come to her death by unlawful use Of i'm
struments, but did not state in whose
hands the instruments were, or whether
they were N anyone's hsuds. The verdict
was sort Of surprise and the jury was
sent back to complete its work.
THE DOCTORS BOTH HELD.
In the meanwhile the friends of the dead
girl were very anxious about a decision
being reached, in time - remove the re-
mains on the next train going north. The
jury finally arrived at conclusion. They
filed in solemnly. The small room in
which the inquest was held was crowded
to sufocation, and the drop of pin could
be heard. Justice McCaskey read the
finding with great deliberation. 1t was to
the effect that Lizzie Taggart had died
from blood poisoning, superinduc( by
the unlawful use of instruments, or other
wise, in the hands of DR.. T. A Cox and
DR.. F. " Cox. There we1 breath of re-
relief. The father was exonerated as far
as the coroner's jury could do 80.
TWO SAD PROFESSIONS.
The great crowd quickly dissolved. 1t
was but few minutes until the next
train going north was due. The casket
containing the body wss hastily removed
to the depot The lid was closed down.
1t was put on the train, and accompanied
by broken-hearted father and sorrowing
friends, the mortal remains of Lizzie Tag
CART began that journey which ends in the
grave.
While this was being done, another in
teresting scene was enacted. AS soon as
the finding Of the jury wes known, Prose
cutcr cambridge ordered both of the Doc
tors under arrest. They took it coolly at
first, but when brought together the CEN
tire of a gaping crowd their levity quickly
passed away. AS the train pulled ont
