Coroner Rowe, as soon as he heard
of the death of Mr.. T. E. Shannon,
last Friday morning, determined to
hold an inquest. Several gentlemen
of the place, who knew of his pur-
pose, tried to dissuade him, but he
hired turnout from the livery stable
and went any way. When he got to
Mr.. Shannon's residence, he was told
by the attending physician, DR.. L NJ.
Woods, and by the chairman of the
county commissioners, ". B. 81.
Hobbs, who had been sitting up with
him for several nights, that an inquest
was not only unnecessary but would
be insulting to the family and ply
sician. Mr.. Rowe replied that he had
paid three dollars for buggy to come
there, and he was too poor man to
lose this money, SO he would hold the
inquest. DR.. Woods protested, and
Commissioner Hobbs told him be
would never consent to his getting
one cent of pay for such worse chan
useless work. After considerable diff.
fculty he succeeded in impanelling
jury, several parties positively refusing
to become party to SO great farce
and held an inquest. The jury did
not even view the body, and the only
witness examined was Doctor Woods
who was not present at the death O.
Mr.. Shannon. The nurse who was
sitting by the bedside of Mr.. Shan
non when he died, was not examined
Dr.. Woods testified, as he had tole
the coroner before the jury was sum
moned, that he was the attending
physician. and had told the famil,
that morning that Mr.. Shannon coult
not possibly live much longer. Th
Jury failed to sign the verdict, am
consequently the inquest was in ev
erv sense of the word a farce. "
hardly think Mr.. Rowe will get an
money for this inquest.
