WHOLESALE MURDER, VERDICT
OF JURY AT INQUEST.

Kinsale, May 1O.-When the in
quest over five victims of the Lusi
tania had been concluded today thu
coroner's jury returned the follow
Ing verdict:
The verdict renderede by the Coro
ner's jury which investigated thu
deaths resulting from the torpedoinl
Of the Lusitania follows:
1--WE find that the deceased me-

exhaustion in the sea eight miles

ing to the shining Of the Lusitania
hy, ,torpedoes fred by German sub
marine.
I'VE find that This appalling crime
was committed contrary to interna.
tional law and the conventions of all
civilized nations.
I'VE also charge that the officers
Of said submarine and the emperor
and government Of Germany under
whose orders they acted, with the
crime Of wholesale murder before thu
tribunal Of the civilized world.
Eve desire to express sincere con-
B dolences and sympathy with the rela-
ttves Of the deceased, the Cunard
company and the United States, many
Of whose citizens persisted In this
liner"
Coroner Hagan sid that the first
murderous atteck on an unarmed
torpedo fred by the German subma-
rine did serious damage to the Lusi-
tanie. but that not satisfied with this
the Germans had discharged another
torpedo. The second torpedo, he
said, must have been more deadly
because 1t went right through the
ship, fastening the work Of destruc-
tion.
The characteristic courage OF the
Irish and British people was mani
tested at the time Of this terrible
disaster. the coroner continued. and
there was no panic. He charged that
the responsibility ''lay ON the Ger
man government and the whole peo-
pie Of Germany, who collaborated In
the terrible crime"
II propose to ask the jury" he
continued, ito return the only YER

4UsITANIA CAPTAIN HAD BEEN
WARNED.
Churchill Tells British House Escort
For Merchant Traffic
Not Customary.

London, May 10.-The first lord 81
tle admiralty. Winston Spencer
Churchill, stated in the house Of COM
rrns today that Capt. Turne: of the
Lusitania had acknowledged receipt
of messages from the admiralty gil
ing him warning and directions for
The course he was to take.
1.-THE admiralty mad general
knowledge of the German warning
issued in America" Mr.. Churchill
continued, and from that knowl-
edge and other information concern
ing submarine movements it sent
warnings to the Lusitania and direc-
lions as to her course. l think. how
ever, it nit right to go into that mat
ter in detail as it is going to be a
a subject of inquiry, and it might
appear that l WITS endeavoring to
throw blame on the captain of the
Lusitania in q matter which will be
a subject Of full investigation"
Mr.. Churchill said the investiga-
ton would be conducted by Lord
Mersey, assisted by skilled assessors,
and that t would be opened without
delay.
Mr.. Churchhilrs remarks were
drawn by questions from Lord Char
les Beresford and othrs.
Mr.. Churchill replying to further
questions said:
"The shocking exception Of the
Lusitania should not divert the atten-
country from the fact that Great
ton Of the house Of commons and the
Britain's entire seaport trade has
been carried on without appreciative
loss. The general principle regard
ing traffic must look after itself, sub
ject to the general arrangements OF
the admiralty"
Lord CHARLES Beresford inquired
whether Premier Asquith had receiv-
ed his letter Of April Is. warning
him OF the peril thot he'd met the
Lusitania and whether this warning
had gone unheeded. Mr.. Churchill
answered that Premier Asquith had
handed him Lord Beresf0rd's letter,
that it had been carefully studied and
that q great many Of the measures
recommended had been adopted.
