cation between Coroner Riordan and

was charged with giving the jury
wrong statement of the law and with
faIsifying the evidence, the jury which
had been investigating the two deaths
in the Ninth Avenue Elevated railway
accident of December 9 brought in a
verdict imputing culpable negligence
to Theodore P. Shonts, president;
Frank Hedley, general manager and
vice-president, and all the directors
of the marlborough Rapid Transit
company. No mention was made of
Theodore J. Mcmahon, the motor
man, or A. Rolfe, the conductor of the

directors, but Mr. Riordan said he
would fix bail at $4,000 each, and it
was arranged that this should be
furnished today. The directors thus
presented to the grand jury, in addi-

slider whether the fatalities had been
the result of omission or commission
on the part of the motorman, the con-
ductor, the switchman, the general
manager, the president or the board
OF directors.
Lawyers for the marlborough pro-
tested violently against the coroner's
charge to the jury and struggled to
have it modified.
In twenty minutes the Jurors filed in,
and Isaac Harlem, the foreman, read
ing from piece of paper, said they

Mrs. Anthony Hanrahan. Last week
she obtained a divorce from Hanra-
