AN EQUlvOcAL VERDICT
No One ls to Blame for Conductor OdeIl's
Death
At Least the Coroner's Jury Does Not
Say Who-The Arc Wire Was
Dead, but Did the Work.

I'VE, the jury, find that the deceased
Caleb c. Odell, came to his death by an
electric shock received at telephone
on the corner of Seventh and Alvarado
streets in this city, the said telephone
belonging to the Consolidated Electric
Railway company"
Such was the equivocal verdict rem
dered by the coroner's jury called yes
terday morning to investigate into the
reason and cause of the death of Con-
ductor Odell the evening before while
attempting to telephone the power house
from the end of the Seventh street line.
DR.. Walter Lindley was the first wit
ness called after Police Officer F. M.
Dyke, brother -in-law of deceased, had
identified the body. He stated that the
cause of death was paralysis of the
heart, caused by the electric shock. The
circumstances attending the tragedy
were detailed by A. Gansert, proprietor
of the store on the corner, into which
Odell was carried when he fell, and Mo-
torman w. f. Cooper, who related his
story substantially as told in these
columns yesterday morning.
Superintendent ]. j. Akin of the
electric railway company took the stand
but could throw no additional light on
the tragedy. He knew that the tele-
phone line of the company was kept in
thorough repair and could not say how
the accident occurred. After him came
ii. G. Warren, a carpenter, who had
stood at the corner of Second and
Spring streets in front of cigar stand
and had noticed an arc light wire sag
ging and occasionally touching the tel
ephone wire. Both he and the man be-
hind the cigar stand counter watched
the wires for some time, seeing the
sparks flash as the wind rubbed them
together.
j. w. Warren, superintendent of the
electric light company, was the last and
most important witness. He first knew
of the crossed wires about $3.50 o'clock,
when the trouble man" of the company
was called on to lift the arc light wire
away from the telephone line. In direct
contradiction of the testimony of Car
penter Warren the superintendent said
that the arc wire belonging to his COM
pany was dead" had no current pass
Ing through it at the time of the accident
The wire supplies the stDeet lights out
in the Temple street district. AS the
contract of the company with the city
calls for no lights on the night be-
fore, the night of and the night after a
full moon, on that evening the dynamos
furnishing the power for that wire were
not in action and the line was dead. He
gave a few supposititious instances
of how the current in the telephone line,
which killed Odell, might have been ac-
cidentally transferred from the trolly
wires, etc. His testimony concluded the
investigation and the jury retired to de-
l:berate on the verdict. 1t was rendered
as stated and no one is yet the wiser as
to who is to blame for poor Odell'S death.

IN THE REICHSTAG
German Finances Warrant the Raising
of Official Salaries

BERLIN, Nov. 20.-The Prusisan diet
opened today. The speech from the
throne. read by the imperial chancel-
lor. Prince Hohenlohe, referred to the
favorable condition of the finances, the
budgets for 1856 and 1867 showing
considerable surpluses, while the esti-
mates for 1878 did not show a deficit.
Continuing the speech read: Although
the continuance of such situation for
any length of time is uncertain, it is
found practicable to raise the salaries
of the middle grade and superior state
officials, as well as the salaries of the
middle schools and universities, and to
increase the grants for widows and or
phans.
The speech further announced bills
for raising the salaries of elementary
school teachers and rearranging the
emoluments of judges. A measure will
also be submitted for reducing the in
terest of the per cent loans, introduce

DENIES HE IS A BLACKMAILER.

W. s. Creighton, Esq.-Dear Sir: In

to as a blackmailer. I don't know
whether 1t was inserted with your knowl
edge or not, but I do know that it must
be retracted in tomorrow mornings pa
per. I am not at all thin skinned, but
when attacked as am in your paper this

intend to appeal to the law, either. Yours
truly,
S. CORNELL.
(We hasten to escape the avenging
nemesis that is lurking in the last for
midabe clause of the foregoing ulti-
matum by the declaration that 1t has
never been established in court of
justice beyond a reasonable doubt that
Sackett Cornell is a blackmailer. But
in the court of public opinion his repu-
tation as a slanderous blackguard is
thoroughly established and irreversible.
