GOVERNOR CLEARS
CORONER RIORDAN
TIP. ShontS Charge That Official
Was Incompetent and Buff
fOOn, Dismissed.

The charges against Coroner Patrick
D. Riordan, preferred by Theodore P.
Shonts were dismissed by Governor
Whitman yesterday.
The Governor said that Lloyd P.
Stryker, who was appointed commits
sioner to take evidence in the case, had
reported to him, and that careful
consideration of the report left one
course open to him.
On On January II the Coroner's
Jury which heard the case of the two
men killed on December 8 in the Ele-
waited railway accident at 10th Street
aid Eighth Avenue returned a verdict
against the directors and general man
lger of the Interborough Rapid Tran
sit Company, ndng them guilty of
culpable negligence.
Coroner Riordan refused TO listen to
the objections Cf James L. Quacken-
bush and Martin E. Burke, counsel for
the company, and ordered that the
el~ven men named file bona for $4,000
each pending action by the grand jury.
They were: August Belmont, Theodore
P. Shonts, Frank Hedley. Horace NJ.
Fisher, W. Leon Pepperman, f. de c..
Sullivan, Edward X. Bacon Thomas de
Witt Cuyler, Edwin S. Marston, An
drew Freedman and Cornelius Wander
bilt The grand jury exonerated them.
On January q Theodore p. Shonts
filed a report with Governor Whitman,
charging among other things that Co to-
ner Riordan was incompetent, insult
iagly witless, a bufoon, a clown,l a
disgrace to his Office and a source 'of
shame TO New York City"
The Governor appointed Commits
sioner Lloyd p. Stryker TO hold hear
ing in City Hall, and the Interborough
brought several witnesses, who testified
that Riordan had often acted in a man
ner unbecoming a gentleman. Assis-
tant District Attorney Deacon Murphy
stated that RiOrdan had been drunk"
on the night of the accident.
Coroner Riordan did not take the
stand in his own defence, as his couh-
sci, former United States Attorney
Henry A. Wise, said there was no evil
dence brought out to substantiate the
charges Of the traction company, and
he therefore asked for their dismissal.
