.C0RONER'S JURY
N TROOPERS Case
Verdict Of Death BY Being Struck BY
Engine With Blame Attached
To No One.

After hearing the evidence In the
case OF Privates Henry G. Gooch and
w. F. Meade, Of Troop D. First yir-
ginia Cavalry, who were killed by be-
ing struck by a train at Acca, early
Monday morning, coronors jury
yesterday morning returned a non
committal verdict. 1t stated that the
two young men came to their death by
being struck by a train.
Nothing new was brought out at the
inquest. The story as printed in The
Virginian the morning of the tragedy
was verified. 1t was shown that the
two men had gotten off Il Seaboard
Air Line train at Acca in order to
take short cut to Camp Stuart. In
the confusion of trains and tracks. the
young men were struck down and in
stantly killed They were buried Tues
day, Gooch in. Hollywood. and Meade
in Alexandria.
With the two young men were
Troopers John ID. McNabb. of Rich
mond, and j. r. Carson. of Pittsyl-
vania County, also members OF the
troop. They had been spending brief
furloush at Washington and Alex
andria, and were on their way to camp
where they were due at $3.50 Monday
morning.
McNabb and Carson took a different
route to the camp, while Meade and
Gooch decided to walk down the rail-
road tracks.
The report of the examining board
of militiamen stated that the strong
headlight OF the Seaboard engine,
probably had a tendency to confuse
the troopers.
