Pensacola Ne,os: Acting Coroner john
son was notified yesterday that a young COL
ored woman had been found dead, all alone,
in a cabin in the eastern suburbs beyond
the Stoddart place, occupied by a negro
man known as Harrison Cobb. There was
a suspicion in the minds of citizens living in
the neighborhood that the woman had prob
ably met her death by foul means, as Cobb
had not reported her death to any one.
After hearing these statements the coroner
determined that it was necessary to hold an
inquest over the body aud a jury
was summoned for that purpose.
The inquest was held during the
afternoon. The only evidence before the
jury was that Of negro woman living in
the neighDorhood. who stated that the dead
woman was at her house on the previous
day and complained of suffering very much
with severe pains in the back of her head
before she left for home. Monday, when
passing by the house where the dead woman
lived, she stopped to see her and found her
all alone and cold in death. Harrison Cobb
stated that he rented room to the deceased,
but knew nothing of her sickness or death.
There being no other evidence, the jury
! rendered verdict that the deceased had
come to her death by natural causes.
