NO RIGHT TO HOLD INQUEST.
Supreme Court Opinion Applied il
Iowa City Wreck investigation.

Iowa City, July S.--Coroner Sizes of
Johnson county yesterday morning Inn
pane,ied q Jury to hold an inquest over
the remains Of Charles McCracken,
who died Thursday morning from the
ELECTS OF injuries received in the re-
cent wreck on the interurban between
here and Cedar Rapids. The inquest
will not be held. however. on account
OF en- opinion given by County Attor-
ney Tim Fairchild in regard to the
matter. The county attorney holds
\ that unless the coroner believes that
the death Of the man was caused by
u Milful action there is no cause for
an Inquest and the coroner has no
right to hold one. He says in part:
an accordance with recent decis-
iort OF our supreme court relative to
the right or duty Of the coroner to hold
an inquest, the matter depends entirely
upon what may be in the coroners
mind. For instance, II the coroner
suplooses that the man found dead met
his death by unlawful means, then 1t is
the duty OF the coroner to hold an in
quest, providing there Is no question as
TO the jurisdiction. But II the coroner
does not believe that the man met his
death by unlawful means. and
by unlawful means. mean
where there was wilful intent to COM
NIT wrong. then 1t Is not the duty Of
the coroner to hold an Inquest, except
In cases of accidents In mines. Now
lin the instant case. IL you believe or
have reason to believe that this party
met his death by reason OF the intent
OF anybody to commit crime, 1t Is
your duty to hold an inquest On the
other hand, IL you think the case was
accidental, 1t matters not how negli-
gent parties may have been, then we
have nothing on which to base our
sright TO hold an inquest"
i The coroner evidently did not think
1t was case of murder or suicide. so
the mntter will go over.

fortunate few who succeeded In hitting
the monkey. The monkey was one
bought for this purpose, and was tied
with sufficient length of chain to be
easily able to dodge all balls thrown at

stead Of being angered by the halls
thrown, the monkey repeatedly played
with the balls, and when hungry would
eat undisturbed.
