After deliberating several hours the coroners jury at Ketchikan which inquired into the death of G. year old Paul Smith jr., who died after being struck by a taxicab on Tongass highway near the city limits, returned a verdict which failed to indicate whether the death was accidental or of criminal nature. The verdict read "that his death was due to being struck by an automobile driven by Robert Bull lard, said automobile having defec- tive brakes and this fact being known to said Bullard." All ex- cept one juror signed the verdict, It is impossible to say now what further action, if any, will be taken in the case.

Husband Contests
 Suit of Wife
Skistimas Seeks Attempt
 at Reconciliation

A divorce suit which was listed on the calendar as uncontested de- veloped into contested action when time for the hearing came around this morning in superior court. Tho action was brought by Pauline Skistimas of Wolcott against Joseph Skistlmas of this city on grounds of cruelty and in- temperance.
 When the case was called, At torney Fred c. Bauby attempted to have n more specific statement filed by the plaintiff but Attor- ney William K. Lawlor objected on the grounds that the defendant knew three or four months ago that the action was pending. The defendant on the stand said he did not know the action was to be heard to-day until he read about 1t in Wednesdays newspaper.
 The plaintiff was allowed to give her side of the case and the case was continued until next week when the defendant will put or his side. He said he does not want the divorce granted but desires an- other chance at reconciliation.
 Mrs Skistimas said her husband was n continual drinker and had abused her by calling her vile names each time he was intoxi- cated. She said on one occasion she was forced to leave the house and with her daughter crept to q hay loft in tho barn to sleep In the hay.

12th shot Mir and Mrs Kvletkus and then hid in q vacant tenement in the Brooklyn district. The fol- lowing morning TIC escaped to An sonia and remained in hiding In Il rooming house on Wooster street . He was trailed there by Lieutenant Matthew Balnnda and County De- tective Roland filling. The fact that he had been seen in several spcakeasics in this city, flashing n gun and making threats to get someone, started the police after him. The finding of n gun un- ter the mattress of his bed was the next development. Bullets in the weapon corresponded with the slugs in the bodies of Mir and Mrs Kvietkus.
 After several persons had been brought in for Identification pur- poses and after every attempt of Delinkaitis to Rive an alibi he finally broke down and admitted the shooting. He claimed that he was mad over the fact that the kvietkus' allowed his wife to visit there and consort with il number of persons he disliked. Mrs Delin- kaitis at present Is in the county jail.
 one of the outstanding features of the case was the arrest on the night of the shooting of Joseph Blcnstrudas. neighbor, whom Mrs Kvietkus accused of being the "maslted gunman" who shot her and her husband. She later retractcd and Blcnstrudas after spending two weeks in jail was re- leased. He has since started h $10,O0O action against Mrs Kvict- kus alleging false arrest. Her hc- tion in attempting to shift the ,lame has yet to be explained.
