death was caused BY 5eleetricity. If the
remains had not been embalmed DIR. Cow
an said that lie could have ascertained
whether death was caused by electricity
or other causes.
He said that when a man is electrocut-
ed his lungs are left bloodless and that
they weigh about third as much as
with death by other causes. However,
DR.. Cowan said. that by embalming the
body of Kenny there was no way to tell
that death had been caused by electro
cution. He further said that there was
no evidence of any organic trouble and
that undoubtedly Kenny was in the best
of condition at the time of death.
Frank s. Noon. as embalmer for Johns
was the next witness but did not throw
much light on the situation as he said
he was at an orphans picnic until after
12 o'clock that night. However, witness
stated that Coroner Spain had given him
or his assistant permission to embalnl
the body of Gustin. This the coroner
denied.
Initiated Man Gives Impressions
Emil F'eist, a coal miner, was next
called and testified that he was initiated
the same night that Kenny and Gus
tin We're killed but that although the
electricity was rather hot it did not hurt.
He said the shock was a good strong one.
He described III detail S6VtIdl OlHtI SluHlS
that were given him to the amusement
of the jury and said that during the in
itiation he hard someone say:

to some current"

next and said that he had acted as es-
cort that night to the candidates. He
said Gustin and Kenny were not ner-
vous and went in cheerfully
The witness further declared that after
Gustin had collapsed. somebody shouted
to him, Don't bring in any more" He
said that in his initiation he had danced
on the carpet, enjoyed the water pan
been shaved and branded without i'll eff
fects. He said he was a member of the
Eagles, Moose and Owls. Ben Jacobs said
that he was a bird.
r. j. Scholl was next examined but
knew nothing of the case. Arthur Green
wood, proprietor of Greenwood's cafe, was
the next and last witness called. The
witness stated that he had observed close
ly the initiation, as it was novelty to
him He identified the generator as the
one used in the branding test. He de-
scribed the scenes in the boxing ring when
the candidates are shocked so hard they
are made to jump out He said that
his impression was that Kenny and
Gustin died from heart failure and ex-
element.
Following the testimony of Mr.. Green
wood Coroner Spain adjourned the in
quest until next Tuesday morning ct 9
o. clock. Neither Assistant Solicitor Locke
nor the coroner would venture an opinion
as to how long the inquest would last,
but the coroner said that the inquest
had gone far enough to show that the
deaths of Kenny and Gustin should be
probed to the fullest extent.

According to Judge Camp. Good Roads
days will be generally observed through
out the county Citizens of the county
who are not able to contribute money for
the cause of road building have donated
their teams, machinery, tools and other
supplies, and indications are that the
greatest possible good will be accom-
plished throughout the entire county.
Judge Camp closed his letter to the gov
ernor by commencing him in warm terms
of praise for his interest in the subject of
road building and declared that if other
counties of the state respond to his ap-
peal for an observance of Good Roads
days as Loyalty and heartily as Talladega
county, that hundreds of thousands worth
of improvements win be made to the high
ways of the state.
