After two hours session at the

tsrnoon the jury summoned by coroner
Baird to investigate the death of d.. L,

1t appears that all the strange cir
cumstances OF the DOCTORS death, each
OF which at first seemed TO point un-
guestionably to murder, dwindled to
nothing when thoroughly sifted into
coherent evidence by the jury, leaving
the verdict given the only one possible.
The mystiiyiDg circumstance OF the
wheel tracks at the edge OF the road be-
came very simple when Chas. Harrall,
who found Whitney's body, admitted
that his own wagon had made the
tracks on at least one one side of the
road.
Miss Mary Walton, DR.. Whitney's
assistant, testified that on the day OF
his death the ply sician had not felt

the fact that the mysterious phone ca II

LEAGUE DROPS
NEWARK FOR WASHINGTON

Baltimore. When the Washington pro-
position was advanced and finally ac-
cepted it was necessary to drop II
city In order to take in Washington.
1t was decided to drop Newark for
several reasons. one being that the
proposition met with little booming in
the Jersey town. President Lawson
gave out as a public reason that there
would be no Sunday games in New
ark. Newark is a good Sunday ball
town, but if games cannot be played
on tina day the promoters Of the club
felt that it would hardly be worth their
while to continue in the league. So it
was easy to make the change. With
Washington added the circuit is much
stronger. and the Union League now
approaching something like big league
