CHICAGO. July 29.-The coroner's
jury impanneled to inquire into the
death of Ira G. Rawn. the late presi
dent of the Monon railroad, returned
an open verdict at daylight this morn
ing. The jury found that he died
from shot received by his own weap-
on by his own hand. The verdict is
as follows:
I'VE. the Jurors, sworn on oath to
inquire into the death of Ira G. Rawn
at his home in Winnetka July 20. find
he came to his death at IL O'Clock on
the morning of July 20. from shock
and hemorrhages caused by a bullet
from mis- own revolver. fired by his
own hand. But whether this was &C
cidental or with suicidal intent this
jury is unable to determine, except
that the location of the wound and
the type of revolver render the acct
dent theory less probable"
The verdict is SO worded as to show
that Mr.. Rawn is believed by the jur-
ors to have been responsible for his
own death, but the question OF suicide
or accident is left to be fought out by
| the family and insurance companies.
