. ON TWO DEATHS
Groves Killed Accidentally;
Denico's Case Stumps
Jurors
Despite evidence given by Dr. H. W,
Briggs, coroner's physician, in
case of Frank Derrico, who died sud
denly in the Are box of a locomotive
at Todd's Cut last Saturday, that IN
man w*g electrocuted, a
jury last night returned a verdict to
the effect that death resulted from
causes unknown to the jurors.

when he was beard to groan and then
fall dead. An autopsy showed that all
organs of his body were
normal condition, and the physicians

The man working with him
of nothing that could causa
death unless the fire box was charged
but It was demonstrated that tha
electric light wire carried but 113
volts and It was not crossed with any
high-tension wire, and later waè
found to be in good condition.
Dr. Briggs testified that he held tha
autopsy and he judged the youth had
been electrocuted. There was a long
discussion among those present as to
whether s physician can determine by
any Internal conditions of a body that
electricity actually did cause death.
After listening to this argument and
the evidence, the jury returned a ver
dict of death due to unknown causes.

Washington, D. C., a freight conduct
or on the Pennsylvania Railroad who
was killed at Edge Moor last Satur
