= Maj. Sylvester started an investigation of
the affair long before the facts were pre-
scented to the jury. AS stated in yester-
days Star, Carr was arrested and held in
the station on a charge of intoxcation.

he was intoxicated and he was locked up.
Carr was last seen alive about 800 o'clock
yesterday morning and fifty minutes later
he was found dead. 1t was admitted by
Sergt. Tess that the hypodermic syringe
found on the body should have been taken
from him. The sergeant was not in the
station at the time Carr was brought there
about 2:30 O'Clock in the morning. He said
the man should have been taken to the hos
rital under the circumstances.
The acting coroner examined the police
witnesses to their duty In such cases.
Two policemen who saw the man Monday
night and conversed with him said he told
them he had been drinking. DIR. Glaze
brook, who performed the autopsy. said he
found no evidence of liquor. The death.
the doctor said resulted from an overdose
of morphia. 1t was the opinion of the jury
that the overdose was accidentally admin
istered.
DR.. Glazebrook thought that Carr had
taken large dose he had been in
the habit of taking before he went to s..
EliZabeth's Hospital for the Insane. He
was paroled from the hospital Tuesday and
had been out of the institution less than
twenty four hours when his dead body was
found. Carr was twenty-six years old. and
