According to the story carried by
the Los Angeles Times OF the de-
velcpments at the coroner'S inquest
into the death of Mrs. Lillian Nishan,
of Douglas, following Delng run down
by an automobile, it appears that the
owner of the car which struck Mrs.
Eishan was held responsible Tor her
death by the coroner's jury. 1t is
now clear that Mrs. Nishan and her
daughter, Isabelle, were walking across
street in Long Beach and were
struck down by the car driven by
Major r. Ct. McGlone, a. former army
officer but now employed in the
engineering department. OF the city
of Long Beach. eGs
Among the facts brought out at
the inquest was that a witness,
Francis M Lannon, testified that
McGlone's car had passed him ana
that he estimated that the McGlone
car was going approximately As
miles an hour. The following is the
Times story OF the inquest
"LONG BEACH, FebJf1-The reck-
lessness of Maj. r. G.l McGlone, Long
Beach harbor engineer, and former
army officer, was responsible for the
death here Saturday night OF Mrs
Lillian Nishan, of Douglas Ariz., who
with her daughter Isabelle Nishan,
was run down in the street by Nc
Clones automobile. The charge OF
recklessness was made by coroner's
Jury at the inquest held at Nc
Fayden's chapel here this morning.
"Deceased came to her death as
the result of crushing OF the thoraX
and fracture of the pelvis, caused by
being struck by an automobile driven
by Mai r. c.. McG1one, while the
deceased was crossing the street be-
tween Intersections the jury's verdict
read. we believe the accident was
due to the recklessness OF Maj
McGlone,' the verdict added. 1t was
signed by Edward Bennett as fore
man and F. R. Monttort, deputy
coroner.
mo action, against Maj. McGlonc,
now free en- his own recognizance
after having been booked at police
quarters Saturday night OH lnveSt1-
cation of manslaughter, will be taken
by the district attorneys office until
Deputy District Attorney Mccartney
has made a personal investigation
of the tragedy and has studied the
transcript of the coroner's inquest
Mr.. Mccartney said today.
g" Any action the district attorneys
office will take will follow my own
investigation, he said. Police reports
issued on the night OF the tragedy
quoted Francis M. Lannon, OF 9018
Figueroa street, Los Angeles, an eye
witness, as declaring that McGlone
was embracing his woman companion
in the automobile just before the
accident. This was denied by Lannon
when he testified at today's inquest.
"Lannon declared that Mrs. Lannon,
also witness, had remarked to her
husband just before the accident that
the woman in the McGlone car was
sitting rather close to the driver
Lannon testified that McGlone's car,
with McGlone at the wheel, hac

The subject of Mir. Sherman's talk was "The Aftermath of the Elec- tion." He said that the defeat which the democratic party met in the past election does not mean the ! ending of that party. In fact the ! Hoover majority should not be a /! matter of too much rejoicing be- , cause 1t is better to have two parties i more equal. Better government is achieved when this is the case as each party strives to put forth its I best man and to formulate good. clear-cut platforms. The parties should be organs of public utter ance. he said.
 The League of Women Voters, in l Mir. Sherman's opinion. should be congratulated on its excellent work. The Woman's club of Maple Hill met Wednesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. R. B. Doane. The program of the afternoon consisted of Current Events' which were pre- sented in a very interesting manner
