tion " the cogoner's Office and had
thereby made hlmself liable 10 arrest for

The reason they gave for not arresting
him was that the widow OF r. Stanhope
Philips had asked that the funeral he
not marred by so untowsrd an incident.

with the physicians and was told by them
that Mr.. Philips died OF disease Of the
liver. and that the autopsy was made at
his own request for scientific purposes.
There was nothing in the case. they as
sured the coroner. that called for his at
