Keindienst, after the hearing of all the
testimony that could throw light on Ihe
case was:
We the jury, called upon to deter
mine the cause of the death of Ed
ward n. Crane, who was found lying
dead In bed last Sunday morning al
Congress Hall. find that death result
ed from an overdose of choral taken
accidentally"
There was no evidence of importance
brought out at the inquest that would
show that Crane had in reality commit
ted suicide. The only thing that went
TO show this was the fact that he had
been unusually respondent all of the
week before his death, and had said
several times that he wanted to die.
The fact that he had been drinking
heavily and was out Of work, and was
considerably in debt, was at first
thought to furnish a motive FOR the
rash deed. On the other hand, 1t was
brought out by the testimony OF VIII
liam z. Coughlin, Of the firm Of Cook e
| Coughlin, that one night a week before
his death, when Crane was in his
place at the corner Of State and Allen
streets. a drummer had given Crane
one powder to take which he Raid

timony of several witnesses was taker

troubled with sleeplessness and was ac
customed to walk about the city fol

The supposition was that Crane put tbs
powder in bottle. the same one tina
was later found on his dresser. and

poured a quantity of the stuff out int
the goblet and drank it down. Not see

This is not the first time such an

fellow was Sired out OF the club on q
trip to Cleveland, and sent home. He
lounged around town few days, and
then. when the club came back. ne
sumed his position as IL nothing had
happened. Ansonis patience has un-
doubtedly been worn on at the edge Ct
late. When the team went to ST. Louis
the old fellow went 10 the depot early.
and bought tickets for the whole gang.
Then. with these tickets in his mttten
he boarded the train. At that depot
there is q rule against letting anyone
come through the gate without show
ing tickets, and the old man forgot ali
about ii. When the players came in
a body they were barred out. They
could have got word 10 Ansop Of the
situation quickly enough. but preferred
to miss the train and have fun with
uncle. The train pulled out. and uncle
went a couple OF miles before he awoke
Ia the situation. Then he got on, took
a street car back to the depot. and used
brilliant and expressive language for
III minutes before taking his gang TO
another railroad, where there was q
later train. After the team returned
the old man, very naturally, wanted
them TO come out and practice with
him. They preferred TO go 70 the races.
