Robert Goddard and j. ID. Mclean drove
from Folsom TO Rosevlle on Thursday, and,
it appears, filed up quite literally on juno
ton whisky. Six miles from Folsom, on
the return trip. when the men reached the
farmhouse Of GOddard's sister, an accident
occurred whereby Goddard was hurled from
the vehicle and one of bis thighs broken.
Mclean managed to get him back into the
wagon and drove to Folsom, where he
dumped the man into the street. 1t was
some time before Goddard was able to crawl
into the house.
Presently Mclean dropped around and
began to administer to the suffering man.
The latter was, of course, in great pain, and
Mclean prescribed whisky and laudanum
in copious doses. The combination fixed
the pain satisfactorily enough by putting
Goddard to sleep. and he never aroused
from the stupor. On Saturday he died.
An inquest held yesterday developed the
fact that Goddard had swallowed two and
threequarter ounces OF laudanum within
nine hours, and that Mclean while admiu-
istering it was drunk. The jury found that
Goddard's death was due to laudanum care
lessly given him by Mclean while the latter
was drunk, and the verdict charges Mclean
with criminal careleSSness
