Responsible For Mrs. Han
cocks Death in London.
Verdict Rendered By kenslng-
ton, Eng, CoToner's Jury.
Was the Wife Of Former Chicago
Clergyman.

London. July IA jury in the Ken
sington coroner's court today rendered
a verdict of Death from natural
causes in the case of Mrs. Hancock,
wife of Walter Swinburne Hancock,
formerly an Episcopalian clergyman OIL
Chicago. who died, March % last, the
cause of death being certified as APP
pcndicitiS. Owing to the suspicious OF
the woman's son, who is lawyer, the
body was eXhumcd and he testified at
the inquest that he thought Hancock
poisoned his wife in order to OBTAIN
her property. The analysis of the con-
tents of the stomach made at the in
stance of the home office showed that
there was no trace of poison.
DR.. Wilson, the Home Office analy-
sist. testified that he had not found the
slightest trace of poison in the stom-
ach. Death, he added, was due to heart
failure, the result of blood poisoning
caused by appendicitis. There was no
trace of poison in any of the medicine
bottles submitted to him.
Prior to this expert testimony, DR..
Gaylord, who was present at the orig
inal post mOrtem examination, was
questioned by counsel for the dead wo-
mans son. The witness expressed the
opinion that death was due to heart
failure, induced by some means winch
came on slowly and progressively"
He did not believe this was due to
natural causes.
In reply to direct question OF coun-
sci. What do you suggest, poison!
DIR. Gaylord answered:
eyes. Poison might have effect on
the heart but leave no trace in the
body
On cross-examination DR.. Gaylord
again expressed the opinion that the
death of Mrs. Hancock was accelerated
by improper means. He admitted, how
over, that there was nothing to show
that there was any poison in the house
at the time of her death, nor anything
to suggest that Mr.. Hancock had adj
ministcred anything to his wife.
The coroner, in summing up said that
| the sons suspicious and the doctors
| statement of the possibility of poison
| ing justified the inquest, but the sus-
plCiOns were now proved to be ground
| less. The jury rendered their verdict
without leaving the box.
