ONLY ONE TORPEDO
Deadly Missile Struck Vital
Spot; Went Down in Less
Than 90 Minutes.

LONDON, May 10.-GO:45 p. m)
The Cunard line steamship Lusitania
which was sunk last week off Old
Head of Kinsale by submarine was
struck by only one torpedo, according
TO the testimony Of Captain Turner of
the steamer, given today at the cor
oner's inquest at Kinsale. But this
deadly missile found vital spot and
sent the liner to the bottom in less
than twenty minutes carrying with
her over a thousand souls. The eVi-
dence of Captain Turner, which
cleared up many other points concern
ing the disaster and that of other
members of the crew of the vessel
with a general knowledge of the situa-
ton. led the jury to bring in verdict
of wholesale murder" against the
German emperor and his government
and the officers of the submarine di-
rectly responsible for the sinking of
the ship.

tain Turner and by Winston Spencer

time when it is important to sit still
and study well before thinking OF
acting great ship has been sunk
involving a horrible loss Of life. a
hundred or more of the victims being
American citizens. They were not
hellgerents, but men, women and
children pursuing the ordinary course
Of business or pleasure, taking no

pulse is one Of angry resentment
against those who committed this

manity revolt at such methods Of

not among the sufferers. At all

no justification can make it less so
But it does not follow that we should
hastily Judge Of the degree Of justifi-
cation nor take it upon ourselves to
punish those guilty or the wholesale

returned the following verdict:

charge the officers - the submarine
and the German emperor and all the
government of Germany. under whose
orders they acted with the crime Of
wilcul ana wholesale murder.''
Coroner Horgan said that the first
torpedo fired by the German sub
marine did serious damage to the
Iusitania, but that not satisfied with
this the Germans had discharged an
other torpedo. The second torpedo,
he said. must have been more deadly
because it went right through the
ship fastening the work of destruc-
tiou. The characteristic courage of
the irish and British people was
manifested at the time of tins ter
riblc disaster, the coroner continued,
and there was no panic. He charged
that the responsibility lay on inc
