WHISKY AND SNAKES
An Old Mans Miserable Death in the
Receiving Hospital

Death resulting from chronic alco-
holism" was the verdict Of the coroner's s
jury yesterday afternoon at the inquest
held ON the body Of Richard Duree, the
old man who had died in the receiving
hospital. Duree was picked up on Main
street by Officer Rico, whose attention
he attracted by his attempts to drive
away the myriads Of snakes and creep
ing things which in his wild imagina-
tion he saw filling the cutters and turn
ing themselves around his body. In
the hospital he was strapped to the bed
to prevent him from injuring himself,
but this was unnecessary, as the man
relapsed into comatose condition
shortly after he was brought in, from
which he never awoke. Duree was a
laborer, sc years of age
