 CORONER MIx,s FINDING1 Wilkins Rustin's Death the Resul, of Boyish Fun Rather Than Crimi. nal Carelessness-Will Secret Socie. ties at Yale Gof
 Coroner Mix has finished his investiga a tion in regard to the manner of the death ing Is as follows:
 Wilkins Rustin was student at Yale university and of the class of '94. On the night of June 1, 1892, he was being initi
 ated into the secret society of D. K. E., 6 l society connected with said university On said evening he was in charge of fel. low student of the class of '93, and al ! about s:3O p: m., accompanied by a2fsllow l initiated into said society, he was con: l ducted outside of Moriarty's saloon ! located at the corner of Temple and Center streets, New Haven, where upon it was proposed by those in charge
 to have trial of speed be. tween these two candidates. They were blindfolded and placed in the middle of Temple street and told to run down Tenn pie street toward Chapel. The street at the time was clear of vehicles with the exception of coupe and 8 hack with west side of the street about half way be- tween Center and Chapel streets. They were placed side by side and instructed to run until they were ordered to stop. After
 being placed the words Ready, let go,''
 were uttered, and at the word "go" they
 both started off together. Kustin darted ahead and ran toward the hack, which was facing him, the students who were in charge taking the west sidewalk and running also. Before Rustin could be told to stop he
 had run upon the pole of the hack, IcCSlf1uS GAoIoDJ Q bCScA0 D1O" uDOn EQ0 stomach. He was caught before he fell to
 the ground, and, being apparently severe ly injured, was taken into Stewards res
 taurant, near by. Doctors were sum- moned, stimulsnts administered to him, and subsequently, he was taken in a car riage to his boarding place, IA High street. The physician there saw him and
 prescribed for him, though believing at the time that he was not severely injured
 From that time he grew gradually worse,
 was under the care and treatment of phy- siclans, and on the 9th day of June, 1892, he died of rupture of the bowels, the re- suit of the injury sustained.
 From the foregoing facts I am of the opinion that Wilkins Rustin's death was caused by the carelessness of the students conducting said initiation. I am further of the opinion that this carelessness was purely the result of boyish fun, entirely unintentional and not such careleesness as Is known to the law as criminal careless ness. In tho course of the inquiry into the manner and cause of this death, I find that modes of initiation have been practically unrestrained; that they have en- tirely exceeded the bounds of reason and propriety and are often dangerous to the health and life of those subject to them; and recommend that the faculty either se~NAASAA oA AoooA0AA eucSo uOU06 or 1QlLl8- tion altogether or have entire supervision and control of the same. In default of action on the part of the faculty, recom- mend that the proper authorities take such measures as will prevent further practices of this nature.
 The noble spirit which the students father displayed in not blaming ths young men who were conducting the initiation too severely, and his request that the civil au- thorities do nothing in the affair, has doubtless influenced all toward looking at the matter with greater clemency. What the faculty through the permanent com mittee, Professors Wright, Richards and Phillips, will do in the matter is the sub ject of considerable comment among the jun.or society men. The results of yester- afternoons meeting will doubtless decide whether or not secret societies at Yale will go or not.
