Death Held Accidental.

The coroner'S jury found the death
accidental. The verdict recited that
death was caused by universal body
burns and exhaustion" as the result of
an explosion in the tractor on the lot
at Fifth and Kennedy streets. The eX-
plosion, according to the verdict. was
caused by "a match lit by George
KnatZ and thrown into the gasoline
tank.
Until this time there had been doubt
as to whether a lighted match or a
cigarette butt had caused the eX-
plosion. The first real explanation
was that of George.
Joseph Cady, he said, was playing
with the gears of the tractor at the
time. Four boys were around there.
Knatz picked up a match, he said, and
threw it into the air. 1t landed on
the gasoline tank, which had a small
hole in the top, and drippings around
the top, he said, probably ignited. Then
everything exploded.
Planned to Go Swimming.
The boys were just about ready to
leave the scene to go swimming when
the tragedy occurred, George said.
When he discovered his playmate
was covered with blazing gasoline
after the explosion, George assisted
Harvey A. Drennon, 80 years old, 56OS
Fifth street, in beating the flames out
of the boys clothing. Drennon also
testified at the inquest. His right
hand was still bandaged from the
burns. =
Deputy Coroner Herbert Martyr,
who examined the body in the post
norton proceedings, testified that the
body of the boy was covered with
burns almost completely. Coroner J..
Ramsay hewitt presided at the In
