DEATH WAS ACCIDENTAL
VERDICT OF JURY IN CASE OF AN
DREW vOGELWIDE.
The Carpenter Whose Death Was
Caused by Fall From House
Under Construction.

After viewing the remains of Andrew
Vogelwide and listening to the testimony
Of eyewitnesses of his fall from the roof to
the basement of the new apartment house
being built at the corner Of 18th and l.
streets northwest, yesterday, coroner's
jury today rendered a verdict Of accidental
death.
The only explanation of the accident to
the jury was that the 3x4 wooden girders
used to support the boards on which the
cement is laid were not properly placed.
One of the ends of each rested on a fiange
of an iron girder, while the other protruded
into the brick wall The holes In the wall
into which these ends entered extended too
far, and the tamping of the cement Jared
the girders so that they slipped farther into
these holes, thus drawing their other ends
from of the fiange of the iron girder.
VogelWide was carpenter, and was Iut
on the cement work for the express pur-
pose of seeing to the safety of these sup
ports. according to the testimony of F. Fl.
Duehay, who is the contractor constructing
the building
Testimony of Witnesses.
The first witness heard was John Brown,
colored, who was working on the same
section of cement with Vogelwide. but who
jumped onto the adjoining section when he
felt the cement giving way. Brown at
once slid down a cable, and was the first
to reach the body of Vogelwide.
Richard Bryan, Mercer Jackson and
Thomas Braxton, the three colored labor
ers who were also on the roof near Vogle-
wide, were also heard, but could give no
reason why the accident should have hap
pened. All of them said, however, that
Vogelwide had removed some bricks at one
end of the section before work was begun
which had probably caused the cement to
slip. Darby H. Coon. foreman of the car
mt frauv hn hull ynty fncf 3Ra6
that Vogelwide was put in charge Of this
work on account of his excellent judgment
and caution. Richard M. Evans, assistant
Inspector of buildings. told the jury that
he had visited the scene of the accident,
and gave as his opinion that it had been
caused by the removal of too many bricks
from the holes into which the girders had
been run.
During the progress of the inquest one
of the jurors asked a witness regarding the
quality of the cement used, but Coroner
hewitt stated that the question Of the quail
ity of the cement did not enter into the
matter, and the question was not pressed.
Attorney /. Q. H. Award was present at
the inquest and asked several questions.
He said to a Star reporter afterward that
he was a personal friend Of the family of
the deceased and was present In their in
terest. Vogelwide was twenty-three years
old and was unmarried. His mother and
year ago his fourteen-year- brother was
burned to death.
The funeral services over the remains of
Vogeiwide will take place Sunday. The in
terment will be made at Prospect Hill cem-

SAN FRANCISCO, August 2-The seven
men from the disabled transport Lennox,
bound from Manila to this port, who were
picked up in a small boat of Piedras
Blanca's lighthouse and brought to this
city by the steamer George Loomis, tell
story of a broken shaft, dearth of provi-
sions and the drifting of the helpless ship
in the current that sets down the coast
The men are Third Mate ]. s. Pratt, ].
Lee, Frank West, p. 7. Flaherty and
James P. Scanlon, ex-sailors and men-of-
warsmen; David Rankin of New Jersey, a
government clerk returning from Manila,
and F. L. Rose, reporter formerly con-

put off from the transport in search of as
sistance. On the Lennox are seventeen
cabin and forty-five second-class passen-
gers, nearly all of whom are discharged
sailors and soldiers, and the English Off
GERS and Chinese crew of about thirty
men. There are no women on board. Third
Mate Spratt and his companions tell the
same story. One of them said:
THE Lennox left Manila on June q and

feet of the propeller, making a great noise,
but the quick shutting off of the engines
prevented any damage to the vessel. There

bad. The members of the Chinese crew
were helpless, but two old sailors fixed up
jury rig, but under 1t the vessel made
little no progress. For nearly week
we looked in vain for assistance, meanwhile
drifting to the southwark and in toward
the coast. What made 1t really serious was
the shortage of provisions. Capt. William
asked the Chinese crew to man small
boat and attempt to reach the coast The
Chinese refused, and the chief officer came
to us sailors and asked for volunteer
crew. Twenty minutes later we were off
in boat and were given a good send-on.
We took two kegs of water, two tins of
corned beef and a box of hard tack. The
boat was rigged with sail, but there was
no wind, and until we were picked UP by
the Loomis twelve hours later, we were at
the oars and had come within sight of
