Confound such people! If they want to
commit suicide, why don't they go out
into the woods or jump into the river?
Let's see-who is in 81? John White,
Syracuse. I remember him now-tall,
prim man about 80 years old, with only
a grip for baggage. Came at o'clock
and went directly to his room. Didn't
seem to be looking very well. Has prob
ably taken an overdose of morphine,
and we shall have another coroner's in
quest and a great ado in the papers. I'll
go up with you. !"
1t was 2 o'clock in the afternoon
There are plenty of travellers who sleep
late when they have no particular bust
ness to transact in the morning, but
when the occupant of a room is not out
of it by noon the chambermaid on that
floor begins to feel anxious. She knocks,
thinking he may be Ill. If there is no
answer, she goes to the housekeeper.
The door was locked and bolted, but
the united strength Of the landlord and
the porter burst it open. On the floor
lay the body of John White. 1t was
fully dressed, even to the shoes. On the
table was a single wineglass, with few
drops of wine at the bottom. Two peo-
pie had drawn chairs up to the table.
One of them was showed back, while the
other was unset AGAINST the washstand.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1894-02-14

The body lay 10 feet away, almost at the
head of the bed and close to the window.
The legs were drawn up, the hands
clinched. and there was look Of agony
on the face. The man had paid for his
lodgings in advance, displaying a large
roll of money, and the landlord was sure
he had a watch. Watch and money
were missing. On the back of the head
was bad bruise, with cut in the cen
ter Of it,
In 10 cases out of 20-yea, in 40 cases
out of 50-a coroner's inquest is farce
to comply with the law. The average
coroner is either honest enough to be
fool or sharp enough to return verdict
to benefit his own pockets. The average
juror called in an inquest is guided by
the views of the coroner. He is there
for the fee, and the sooner a verdict is
reached the sooner he will be at liberty
to stand up to the bar of some saloon.
The coroner has his friends among the
medical fraternity. Whenever it is pos
sible, he orders a postmortem examina-
ton. That means from $25 to $75 for
his medical friend, who may have no
standing at all in the medical world, but
can show diploma.
In the case of John White postmor-
tenn was ordered. That meant an adj
journment of the inquest and larger
fees all around. The doctor began at
the head to search for the cause of death,
and when he came to the bruise and
the cut the cause was apparent. 1t was
a fracture of the skull, he said. Some
one had killed and robbed the man. In
his opinion John White had been
struck with jagged piece of iron. The
verdict of the jury was in accordance,
and then the detectives came into play.

NV clews and deductions let me tell you
how the regular" went to work and the
conclusions he arrived at. When John
White registered, he had mustache and
poatee: when he was found dead, he had
only mustache. In one of the drawers
of the bureau we found the false beard.
The detective reasoned that the man
wanted one more spree before marriage.
He didn't want to be known to the hotel
people and so put on the false goatee.
While he was drinking at the table, with
his back to the window, some one climb
ed up the sloping roof, softly raised the
sash and entered the room and struck
him before he was aware of the intrud-
er's presence. White had sprung up.

TECHNICAL IEsPECTI0E OF BRIcEw0RE.

TECHNICAL INSPECTION OF BBICZW0PE.
The federation Of Labor Of the District has
recommended TO the Commissioners that q
practical brieklayer be placed upon the force
OF the building inspectors Office. It Is to be
hoped that the suggestion viii be followed,
even if it requires the discharge Of one Of the
present inspectors because OF lack OF funds
to pay an additional assistant.
As has been repeatedly pointed out, the
brick work is whore the greatest fire danger
lies and should have a technical inspection.
The thickness OF the walls does much to pre-
vent the collapse Of a burning building while
the Gremen are working over it and before
the Ere has been put under control. but there
is also need of a strict enforcement of laws
governing the proper construction and pro-
lection IGaez. TIE TIMES believes that the
presence eff q practical bricklayer on the
building inspectors force would materially
decrease the percentage Of future fires.
Something must be done and done quickly
