q. for Recent Loss of Life.
MILWAUKEE. May 2s.-The coroner's
jury in the case of the Cummings dis
aster returned its verdict Friday night.
The verdict severely scores Capt.
Pratton of the life saving crew
for his delay and inactivity. char
acterizing the statements he made
in regard TO the disability of the
lifeboat as untrue. The jury finds
that Capt. Pratton refused the as
sistance of a volunteer life saving
crew, which was the principal cause of
the loss of life in the Cummings.
Fault is also found with the equip
ment of the life-saving station and
praise is given to the men who rescued
Patterson and Gurdis. The verdict
may lead to the dismissal of Capt
Pratton. Superintendent Abbey, of
the lifesaving service, will make an
investigation of the Milwaukee life
saving crew.
