Coroner Janney held an inquest at
Moorestown, yesterday, on the death of
James Flynn, the letter carrier, whose
body was found on the railroad tracks
near his home on the night of April 4.
Prosecutor Atkinson, detective Parker,
and-chief of police Conway stated they
had been unable to get any tangible clue
Of foul play in the case A number Of
witnesses were examined but nothing of
value was elected. The jury rendered
the following verdict 1--WE are convinced
that the train due at West sMoorestown,
11O8 p. M, April 4, 1908, ran over the
body of James Flynn, but we are not GER
tain whether he was killed by the train or
came to his death at the hands of some
person or persons unknown to us before
being run over by said train" The theory
that Flynn was murdered is not so strong
ly entertained now, as no evidence to
that effect has been obtained.
