who died Saturday last at the Emergency
Hospital, was conducted by Coroner Ham
nett at noon today at the First precinct
station.
| The following jury was impaneled: John
w. Davis, George Bggs, William NJ. Arm
strong, Thaddeus Marrow, John Z. Young
and Frank Hagerty.
Deputy Coroner Glazebrook, who per-
| form ed the autopsy at the Emergency Hos
pital Yesterday, was the first witness. He
atedthatthei immediate cause was Bright's
disease and loss of blood from severe in
jury inflicted upon his body.
Mrs. Mary S. Sheldon, who lives near
the scene of the accident, stated that
she saw the engine pass and a moment
later heard the screams OF the child,
and the engine returned to pick him up.
Sammie Sheldon, the twelve-year-old Son
of the former witness supported his
mothers testimony.
John Robie, the on gineer of No 81, testi-
fled thai he had left the round house here
for the freight yards in Anacostia shortly

gine had just passed through the tunnel
when he sighted moving object about
twenty feet ahead. 1t was very dark and in
an isolated spot, where there were few
persons accustomed to walk.
The engine WAS. rLnning about twenty
miles an hour, and lie at once reversed the

stop He. ran back and picked the boy up
and helped to place him on the engine.
reply to a jurors question, the engineer
stated that his head was inside the cab, and
til at he was not looking out upon the track,
which accounted for his not seeing the boy
until within few feet of him. He was at
tending to the engine.
The testimony of j. 7. Fleishell, the fire
man on the engine, was practically the
same as that Of Robie. He stated that trains
were accustomed to run at high rate of
speed at the point in question, and that he
lad seldom seen persons along that por-
tion of the track.
After celebrating for over an hour the
jury finally rendered a verdict to the ef-
feet that death was due to an unavoidable
accident on the part of the engineer and
fireman, but recommended that the rail
road company be compelled to conform to
the regulations OF the District in regard to
