CHRISTIAN SCIENCE TREATMENT IS LAWFUL, SAYS CORONER IN
 FINDING IN JORDAN INQUEST
Death of School Boy in Stamford From Scarlet Fever Following
 "AbSent Treatment"
So Long As Rules of Quarantine Were Observed and Parents Followed Their Honest Convictions They
 Are Exempt from Prosecution

No medical attention was paid to the sick child at any time during it's illness, as both the father and the mother were, and still are, ardent be- 1eVers in the efficacy of Christian Sci ence and it's powers to heal the sick. They both cherished and loved their child and cared for it as other parents do and did everything they could, in so far as their doctrine went, even expressing their steadfast belief in the all-suffering sufficiency of their creed when asked by practitioner Stagg if they wished physician. This request was made, as MT. Stagg states that they do not wish to force Christian Science upon any one. The parents in no way neglected the child and were solicitous for it's welfare.
 There is nothing in our law which prescribes just what treatment a sick child shall receive from it's parents but 1t does require the parents to care for and not neglect it, and to do eV erything which their form of belief may dictate.
 I find that the said Edwin P,s Jordan. Jr., a dependent child, ten years of age. died on April 18th. 1910, from tox- aemfa superinduced by scarlet fever, after an illness of eleven days at the home of his parents.
 That no medical attention was given the child during any part of its illness, on account of the refusal of it's par entS to allow it.
 That both of the parents are firm be- IieverS in Christian Science and the ef- dcacy of its teachings and doctrines.
 That the said Edwin F., Jordan, Jr., was not neglected by his parents, but that they loved and cherished him as natural parents and did everything in their power to alleviate his sufferfngs and sickness as far as their belief taught them
 That our law does not prescribe any duty upon parents toward their de- pendent children, other than that they shall not be negIectful of them and shall care for them according to their honest convictions, and that long as they are truly honest and firm in their doctrine and belief, and nurture their dependent children in strict ac- cordance herewith, there can be no criminal responsibility for their death placed upon them.
 That the child should have had the benefit of medical attendance and treatment, but that under the circum- stances of this case the parents of the child are not criminally responsible for their failure to furnish or refusal to allow such medical attention and trea tnent. The quarantine laws were duly observed. The child was a vic tim of the parents unusual belief.
 That the said death was not caus- ed by the criminal act, omission, or carelessness of any person or persons. In accordance with the statute, I have delivered the body of said deceased to his friends for burial at Stamford, Connecticut.
 Dated at Bridgeport, Connecticut, this 18th day of April A. D., 1910.
