dict That Deserves a BOBBY Prize.
Brunswick, Ca, Oct. 26.-The coroner's
jury to-day. on the murder of Curry last
night, added farcical act to the tragedy
by rendering a verdict of accidental
murder" The jury, as whole, was not
composed Of representative citizens, but
it was the best the officer could get under
the circumstances. The verdict has sub
jected the jurors to bitter denunciation
on the streets to-day. Justice Col1er, who
got out of a sick bed to hold the inquest,
stated to the MORNING NEWS CORE
spondent that he told the jury, when they
handed in the verdict that it was nom
sensical, foolish and unknown to law He
advised them to let the lawyers say
whether it was accidental or not
Sheriff Berrie expressed surprise at the
verdict.
Assistant Chief of Police Robert Levizor,
who was mainly instrumental in captur-
ing the murderer, said the jury acted
strangely.
Chief Beach could see no sense in the
verdict.
The murder was cold blooded and some
of the witnesses before the jury did not
stick to the truth. Ben Hansen. the
chief Witness whose name was given as
Olsen last night, told so many untruths
that Justice Coker sent him to Jail. I'm
officially Judge Coxer denounced the
jury's verdict in unhistakable terms.
