The coroner's Jury held nn Inquisition yesterday afternoon at llotirleo county courthouse and rendered Its verdict In (ho case of John Muse, who was killed In a collision on the Seven Pines Lino of tho Virginia Passenger and Power Company Thursday morning.

The charge wus dismissed. The Judge took such action In view of the ago of tho official and the circum? stances surrounding the caso. Matters Adjusted.
