Oners to Consider Abuses.
The Coroners' office began yesterday
an investigation into the case Of William
Cochran, a man Of A years, who lived at
21se Morris avenue and who dice at Bellevue
Hospital. Coroner Hamburger has in his
hands a report Of the case from the hospi-
tai and a report OF the autopsy performed
by Coroner's Physician Schultze. h two
documents show a wide divergence OF
opinion ns to the cause Of Cochran's death.
On the night OF March l an Amsterdam
avenue car collided with a truck driven by
Cochran at 10th street. Cochran was
thrown from his seat and landed on his
head. DR.. Overton, who responded with
an ambulance from the Fordham Hospital,
examined the injured man and declared
that he was suffering from a confusion OF
the hip. Cochran was sent home.
Two days later Fordham Hospital was
notified that Cochran was in need of medical
aid. An ambulance in charge of DR.. Over
ton was sent to the mans house, and Coch-
ran wa again examined. This time his
case was diagnosed as intoXication. He
was placed in the ambulance and taken
to Bellevue Hospital, where he was con-
signed TO the prison ward In charge of DR..
Milbank.
DR.. Milbank made an examination for
himself and discovered that the pa tient
was suffering from a fracture of the skull
and a laceration Of the brain. Soon after
his admittance Cochran was seized with
commissions and died. When the case was
reported to the Coroners' Office death
was ascribed to chronic nephritis.'
There will be a meeting Of the Board Of
Coroners on Saturday to consider many
