Hull, Eng, Nov. 3.-"That George
Henry Smith and William Leggett
were. at about 1890 a. m, on oct 22
while out fishing with travis aboard
the British steam trawler Crane, with
board of trade marks exhibited and
regulation lights burning, killed by
shots fired without warning or provo
cation from certain Russian war yes
sells at a distance OF about a quarter
of a mile"
This is the text of the jury's verdict
at the Coroner's inquest on the fisher
men victims in the North sea trag
edy. At the request of the British
government, represented by the Earl
of Dysart, solicitor of the treasury
this conservative award was rendered
by the first court of inquiry preceding
the sessions of the international tri-
bunal. The government asked the
jury not to find a verdict of willful
murder or manslaughter because
delicate negotiations are going on
which should not be made more diff
cult and they ought not to let anyone
think they had prejudiced the case
before having heard both sides"
In consequence, the jury simply set
forth the facts as shown by the evil
dence of physicians, experts on ex-
plosives and the trawlers themselves.
To each of the witnesses was put
the vital question regarding the pres
ence of a foreign vessel or torpedo
boat. Each, with equal positiveness,
denied that at any time preceding or
during the firing was any Japanese,
British or any foreign vessel seen by
them or the accompanying fishing
feet. 1t was also stated there were
no Japanese among the crews and
that none of the trawlers carried arms
of any description. One OF the skip
pers, replying to a question by the
coroner. said that during the five
weeks he was in the North sea he had
not seen any warships until that night.
