BEER WAS 0VERWORKED
AND HAD COMPLAINED
TOLD THE DOCTOR THAT he WAS
A GONER.
Witnesses Declared That His Death
Was the Result of an Accident
and Was Not Suicide.

Coroner Hill held an inquest yesterday
morning upon the body of Bernard Beer,
the Sansofne- street commission merchant.
who was found last Thursday morning
in the basement of his place of business
almost aSphyXiated.
Louis Buchanan, the porter. testified that
he found the deceased lying unconscious
on a pile of banana leaves and the gas
escaping from the turned jet BUchinani
did not find the odor of gas very strong,
and he struck a match and lighted the
Jet. Beer was removed to his home.
The widow of the deceased told how
Beer had recovered consciousness for a
moment and called her by name, but
was unable TO say anything more. He
had not been despondent that she knew
of, and he surely would not have com
mitted suicide. A few nights before ne
was found unconscious in his place of
business he complained that he was very
much worn out; that he was working
very hard. 1t had been his habit to leave
home about o'clock every morning TO
begin work at the store. He had never
threatened to commit suicide.
DR.. Charles Clark the attending physi-
clan. said that on Friday morning Beer
recovered consciousness and remarked
that he was goner," but made no state
meNt as to whether his condition was due
to accident or design
