Following the hearing OF testl-

The verdict Of the coroner's jury
came as a distinct surprise to prac-

any one criminally responsible fo'
the death Of the child.

they had reached.
! News of the !ury's finding soon

over the fact that for once coron-
er's jury had acted searlessly and
without partiality. No new fac,s
were brought out at the investigs-
