BraWley, was entirely accidental
was the verdict of a coroner's jury
summoned this morning by Cor
cner A. R. Underwood to consider
evidence of the mans death.
Candy met his death while re-
pairing the ice tram yesterday
morning, and when the heavy iron
cage fell a distance of 35 feet to

ployee of the ice company for the
past nine years, serving as head
mechanic for three years. He is
survived by a wife of two and a
half years, his father, sister, BROTH
er and step-mother. All but Gan
dy's wife live at Mount Vernon,

Evidence introduced at the in
quest this morning showed that

had fastened a loose cable which
held the basket up, but that the
cable slipped and allowed the
tram to fall upon him.

however, suggest action to Demo-
cratic leaders.

ant upon the beginning of new
administration here. He was to have
been the guest of honor at the
Roosevelt dinner tonight, but was
notified last night of the death of
a sister in New York City and can
celled all social engagements to
hurry there.
Roosevelt will leave Albany to-
night after looking in for a short
time at the inaugural ball at the
armory. He will go to "Krum Ell
bow" his country home in the
Hudson valley, to spend New Years
day. On Monday he will return for
the formal Inauguration of Leh-
man, leaving Immediately after the
exercises for Hyde Park.
On Tuesday, Roosevelt will go to
his New York City home where he
plans political conferences for two
or three days. Week-ends he will
spend in the country with members
of his family.
One of his first discussions of
major Importance as a private citi-
zen will be that with Speaker Gar
ner.
Plans also call for Roosevelt to
take a cruise through tropic wa
ters in February.
