JACOB sTRoUT's DEATH.
The Coroner's Jury Decides That 1t Was
From Accidental Causes.

The corouer's jury, summoned by
Coroner E. N. Perry to investigate the
death of Jacob Strout at North Raymond
on July 3d. met at that place yesterday,
according to adjournment, to hear the
evidence to be presented before them.
The inquest was held at the house of
Mrs. VerrilI, the mother of the deceased,
where the latter was residing at the time
of his death. County Attorney Charles
A. True conducted the examination.
DR.. Elisha A. McCollister and DIR. Egg
bert 7. Andrews, of Gray, who per-
formed the autopsy, were the first wit
nesses examined. The physicians testi-
fed that their examination and autopsy
had revealed no dislocations or fractures
upon the body of any kind. The scalp
was infltrated with blood apparently
from some slight bruises and the de-
pendent condition in which the body had
been found. Upon opening the skull
there was disclosed some evidence Of
conclusion, such as might have been
produced by the head having struck
against rock or some other object, and
it was found that rupture of a blood
vessel, or vessels, of the brain had taken
place and that the blood had become in
fused into the folds of the brain. There
were no external marks of violence, be-
yond a few slight bruises, and the ply
sicians were of opinion that death was
due to natural causes.
The testimony of John Verrill, VIM.
Tripp, Charles W. Shackford, Mrs. Laura
j. Shackford, VIM. B. Thurlow, Levi
Small, George Verrill and Joseph F.
Strout, which was substantially the
same as the statements of those wit
nesses detailed in the PRESS of last
Wednesday, was taken. Deputy Sheriff
Henry G. Doughty, of Gray, produced
and identified the clothing, blanket and
Jug which were taken from the road cart,
and testified that they were in the same
condition as when he had received them.
After carefully considering all the evil
dence, the jury returned the following
verdict:
That Jacob Strout. of Raymond, in the
County of Cumberland, came to his
death at said Raymond on the Esd day of
July A. D., 1898, from rupture of
blood vessel, or vessels, of the brain, and
conclusion of the brain. And the jury
further find, in view of all the facts, that
the death of the deceased was not caused
by violence on the part of any person or
persons.
