Of NURSE
ACCIDENT IS
VERDICT
Lois Bowers Blamed for Loss
of Own Life in Homeopathic
Hospital Fire

Lois Bowers, nineteen-year-old
student nurse, who died late last
night as a result Of burns received
in blaze in the steriiizing room
at Homeopathic Hospital came to
her death through accident coro-
ner's jury decided at the morgue
this afternoon.
The testimony showed that the
hospital was not at fault, and that
Charles Wallace. colored orderly
who was assisting Miss Bowers was
in no way to blame.
Wallace frankly testified that
Miss Bowers was hurrying to pre-
pare for an afternoon operation, so
that she could go to lunch at her
usual hour. He said there was no
explosion and only a small flare
of light.
Martha Jane Lacy, a student
nurse at the hospital, and the first
to respond to Miss Bowers screams,
also testified, as did Miss Elizabeth
Dempsey and Miss Elsie M. Maurer.
They testified that all Of the
nurses well knew the danger of
using gas in the sterilizing room,
and IL there was any carelessness
in connection with the accident 1t
was on Miss Bowers own part.
Others who testified were Doctor
Edgar Quayle, Doctor Herbert E.
Martin, Doctor Joseph D. Rogers,
and M. E. Truegood.

Two hymns, a brief eulogy, the
singing of America, were the only
outward rites. But unspoken. the
reverence and homage Of a vast
commonwealth was for him who
lay so peacefully amid the silken
folds of the gray, fag-draped coffin,
to be his eternal bed.
Hard by the casket surrounded
by curtains Of flowers and wreaths,
sat the family, Mrs. La Toilette,
the two daughters, Mrs. George
Middleton and Mrs. Ralph Sueher,
and the two sons, Robert M. La Fol
lette, jr. and Philip La Toilette.
They were as motionless as death
save when they glanced upward to
the floor above where a mixed
chorus of forty voices sang Nearer
NY God to Thee" at the opening,
and abide With Me" at the close
of the services.
1t was such an assemblage as la
Toilette had known and loved-his
people-his love for whom he had
said on his death bed, had sustained
him throughout life.
Rites are Simple.
For him who had commanded a
great State military there was not
the cadence of marching feet, nor the
roll of drums. nor dirge. nos band
nor firing Of musketry; for him who
had walked in the paths Of the DOW
erful there was no pomp nor trap
pings nor fine display.
Prior to the services, Mrs. La Fol
lette and the two sons and two
daughters were secluded at the old
family home, Maple Bluff Farm, on
the shores of Lake Mendoza.
Though a host Of old friends called
to express sympathy, Mrs. La Fol-
