 The undersigned, Philip Pond, 2d, deputy coroner, having notice of the death of Ditmus Thorpe Munro, white male, about 45 years, late of the town and county of New Haven, state of Connecticut, who, on the 9th day of July, A. D., 1902, came to an untimely death in said town of New Haven, and having viewed the body of said de- ceased, made immediate inquiry con- corning his death, which inquiry was held on the 9th, 10th, 18th and 17th days of July and 27th day of August, A. D. | 1902. At said inquest the following witnesses were examined: Silas J. | Stowe, 28 TrumbuIl street; James M. English, 367 Edgewood avenue; Edgar S. Dove, Academy street; George B. Jones, 24 Forbes avenue; George w.. l Martin, 51 Fairmount avenue; Mrs. Emma T. Munro, 165 Woodward ave nue; Walter T. Munro. 165 Woodward avenue; William H. Munro, S2 Town send avenue; John E.

Du- | Puy, Allegheny, Pa.. and Robert Me- | Knight, of Springfield, Mass; and I also took the statement of Charles | Swanson, 317 Orchard street, New Ha- | ven.
 I directed the medical examiner to perform an autopsy upon the body of said deceased, which autopsy was per- ] formed, and the report of which is filed ] herewith.
 | Upon considering the evidence adduc- ed at said inquest and the report of said autopsy, find the following facts: Deceased lived on Woodward avenue, in the town of New Haven, and was employed as an engineer at Canal dock, | iH sad town. It was his habit to go back and forth between his dwelling, and his place of work upon a bicycle. On June 10, 1902, he was on his way 1 home from his work upon his bicycle, going by way of Tomlinson's bridge. l The roadway across said bridge is mar row. being about 27 feet, with car track through the middle.
 l When he reached the eastern end of the bridge, he started to cross the road way from the right hand side going east to the left hand side, it being the prac- tice for bicyclists to cross at that point l and take a concrete walk across the 1 causeway, the right hand side of the l road across the causeway being some l what rough and little used by bicyclists. l At this time an automobile, described ] as a Winton touring car, fifteen horse l power, gasoline, and weighing nineteen l hundred pounds, was travelling across said bridge at the same time as de- ceased. Said automobile passed a team near the easterly end of said bridge,
 driven by Silas J. Stowe, which team as going toward the west. Said auto
 mobile passed said team on the left, and
 immediately thereafter said automobile and the deceased on his bicycle collided
 The deceased was struck by the for
 ward right hand corner of said automo- bile and was hurled into the air and se- riously injured. Said automobile was owned and at the time driven by Harry l.. DuPuy. After the collision, the oc- cupants of said automobile stopped and
 took deceased home. The deceased was
 confined to his bed on account of said
 injuries, and was thenceforth sick and
 disabled until his death, which occurred
 about D. m. Sunday July G. 1902.
 Said DuPuy and the other occupants
 of said automobile did not see the de
 ceased upon his bicycle until within six
 or eight feet of the collision, although
 said DuPuy could have seen readily
 said bicycle had he been observant, as il
 as preceding across said bridge, and
 even while it passed the said wagon To.
 cated upon said bridge as aforesaid, the
 said wagon being an ordinary business l wagon, without top or covering of any
 kind.
 find that said automobile ap-
 preached said bridge at speed greater
 than twelve miles an hour. and that ii
 continued across said bridge upon the left hand side thereof, at a speed great
 CT than twelve miles an hour, and that it was going at a speed greater thar
 twelve miles an hour when it struck tht
 deceased
 find that said Harry L. DuPpy, wht
 was running said automobile, rar
 across said bridge in an unobservant careless, reckless and unlawful manner
 I find that the collision aforesaid whicl
 resulted in the injuries to the deceased
 from which injuries the said Munro
 died was contributed to and caused b!
 the aforesaid reckless, careless and un lawful conduct and criminal negligence of the said Harry l.. DuPuy.
 In accordance with the statute, tn
 body of the deceased was delivered tt Emma Munro, his widow, for burial. Dated at New Haven this 27th day O August, A. D. 1902.
