Jonathan Glass Came to His Death
by StrangIing.

Killed by - Bursting Cannon.

HAvERHILL, Mass, July 5.-The in
quest on the death of Jonathan Glass OF
Chester, N. H., was held at Odd Fellows
Hall, Raymond, Saturday, DR.. Gould,
presiding. j.. T. Bartlett, Sheriff Coffin
and Lawyer Guptill OF Portsmouth ap-
peared for the county.
The first witness was Charles Knowles.
The substance of his testimony was that
the body was found the Friday morning
after the disappearance OF Giass. II was
hanging from pine tree by loose rope,
with the hands on limb and the feet
on the ground or nearly so, witness also
gave description OF the Glass home
stead.
Henry Hoyt, SON -in-law OF Glass, was
the next witness. He was subjected TO
rigid examination by Attorney Guptill.
Hoyt testified to his coming home from
his wife, and inquiring about his father
in-law, and stated that he was told by
his wife that her father was sick aud that
be was the first one to 60 to bed. Hoyt
also testified in regard to his being sent
to jail. but said he he had never had any
hard feelings towards bis father.in-
because the latter refused to furnish bail
for witness. Hoyt further testified that
he never had any trouble with his father
in-law, and that he always considered the
latter his friend. He also testified that
when the matter OF the disappearance OF
Glass was talked about, they thought he
might have gone to Greenland, and that
satisfied him.
Hoyt's wife and her sister Mary Glass,
were also called and testified, but their
testimony did not bring out any facts
explaining the strange death OF their
father, though Mrs. Hoyt thought he
would not have hanged himself II he had
been in his right mind. Miss Glass
thought that Hoyt's return had 80 me-
thing to do with her fathers going away.
She did not think, however, that Hoyt
had anything to do with the death OF her
father. This closed the testimony. At a
later hour, the jury returned verdict
that Jonathan ID. Glass came to his death
by strangulation, by means Of rope and
handkerchief and the hands of some per-
sons unknown. This leaves the question
OF suicide or foul play an open one. The
general impression about the court room,
on Saturday, was that, while the actions
of his SON. in-law were the means OF much
worriment to Glass, there was no evil
dence connecting Hoyt with the death OF
his father In law. At the same time the
impression prevailed that the last wit
nesses did not tell all they knew about
the affair.
