 There was considerable curbstone
 talk in Westerly, Monday, as to whGi
 would be the mode of procedure should 1 Coroner Brown find that the wiliskey drank by LarroW and Hood was poi
 soned, caused their death, and was l purchased in Westerly from a. druggist
 named by members of the family of ! deceased.
 It was set forth that the coroner | could cause the arrest of the alleged 1 seller and have him tried for man l slaughter in the state of Connecticut and that the prosecuting officers of Westerly would have nothing to do with that feature of the case.
 l The local officers. however, could ] arrest and prosecute the druggist for the illegal sale of liquor and for sell l ing poison that was not properly la | belled.
 I 1t is the duty of the medical exam l Iner to make report to the attorney 1 general and to the town coroner of l deaths caused by act carelessness or neglect of thers. Then it would be- come the duty of thea coroner to hold ] an inquest and, if deemed advisable. autopsy could be ordered by the att | torney general, or the latter official could order investigation without prior action on the part of the medical ex- aminer or coroner. In case the in vestigation warranted, it would become the duty of the coroner to bring the case to the district court, where the attorney general would prosecute No reports of deaths by the act, careIeSsnessa or neglect of others have been brought to the attention of the medical examiner, still, by order of the attorney general he wOuld be re-
 quired to make Investigation, or could
 do so on his own volition did he con- slider it advisable under the circum-
 stances, and take no heed of the cer- tifcate of death by attending physi- clans.
