Minneapolis, July 16.-(P)-A YER
dict of accidental death was returned
early Saturday by a coroner's jury
which investigated the death OF Les
lie Delano. Columbia Heights baby.
Although authorities previously had
expressed belief that Leslie. 20
months-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Ray
Delano, had been slain and his body
tossed into a cesspool where it was
found Thursday, the jury disagreed
with that contention after listening
to testimony for four and one-half
hours. The child had been hunted
six days.
The jury decided Leslie "acciden-
tally fell into cesspool :; that he
died on or before July Is, 1882, from
either exposure. starvation. fear or
suffccation, or a combination there
Of"
Testimony at the inquest brought
out the fact that several persons had
looked into the pit after the child
disappeared while at play at his
home, but none had seen Leslie.
Mike Auspos. Anoka county deputy
sheriff, testified the bottom of the
pit was n feet from the ground level
and that several persons might be
in the basin and be out of sight OF
anyone boxing through the narrow
opening shaft, which was only 10
inches square. He said marks on the
dirt sides indicated a child's fingers
had clawed them.
Other testimony indicated it would
have been possible for the child to
have lifted the lid from the 10-foot
shaft and fallen in.
DR.. j. s. Mccartney. University of
Minnesota pathologist, who conduct
ed a post-mortem examination, said
death might have occurred only IL
hours before the body was found on
Thursday.
Before the inquest, Coroner w. C.
Thurston had said I'VE see no alter

the cause of the death was strangula-

tiles of Columbia Heights indicated
they would continue their investiga-

Priva.a funeral services for Leslie
were held Saturday.
Examination of the cesspool by the
coroner today tended to show, he
said, that the baby was alive for
some TIME in 1t and had moved about
trying frantically to get out.
