FINDS
CORONER'S JURY FINDS THAT
DEATH OF H. L. HOI-T WAS
FROM NATURAL CAUSES
Well Known Shoemakei\ Found Dead
In Barn on South Sidtf Right Ven
tricle of Heart Ruptured Other
Sq^uth Side News.
According to the testimony at the
coroner's inquest last evening Mr. Holt
Was accompanied from the saloon next
door to his shoe shop by three of his
friends about 10 o'clock Saturday night
and placed in the barn. The body was
found about 6 o'clock Sunday morn
ing by Officer Frank LaRue. Mr. Holt
was lying on his back on the floor with
his head against the side wall and
doubled forward on his chest.
Heart Was Ruptured.
A post mortem examination over the
remains of Mr. Holt was conducted by
Coroner F. W. Mills and Dr. A. O. Wil
lians Sunday afternoon. It was found
that there was a rupture of the right
ventricle of the heart. Dr. Williams
said at the inquest that there was also
a discoloration of the skin at the
throat, but no contusions of the deeper
tissues so that Mr. Holt could not have
been choked to death and that the
heart was affected with fatty degenera
tion.
Although Mr. Holt was known to
have carried considerable sums of
money at various times, the evidence
was. to the effect that he sent money
to relatives in Kirksville, Mo., and that
for the past few months his finances
had been low. In his pockets were
found three purses, two empty and one
containing forty cents. A thorough
searcn was made of the shoe shop, but
no money or valuables were found.
Returned for Key.
James R. Scully, who resides at 218
North Moore street, said that he and
Mr. Young, a horse trader, took Holt
from the saloon about 10 o'clock to the
shoe shop. Mr. Young and Mr. Cald
well then placed Holt in the barn.
Scully said that he went to get the
key to the shoe shop and thought that
Holt was breathing at that time, but
he made no move when the key was
taken from his pocket. Mr. Scully said
he then unlocked the door to the shop
and extinguished the light.
Officer Frank LaRue said that he saw
Holt in the alley next to the shop
about 9:40 o'clock and told him to go
home and that Holt said all right. Mr.
Scully and Young told him that they
had put Holt in the barn. Officer LaRue
said his attention was attracted in the
morning by seeing the door of the
barn open and that he went to invest!
gate and found Mr. Holt dead.
The verdict was that death resulted
from natural causes, a rupture of the
right ventricle of the heart.
Was a Canadian.
H. L. Holt was a native of Canada,
but had resided in Ottumwa for many
years. He conducted a shoe shop on
Church street for several years and
was known to nearly every resident of
South Ottumwa. He is survived by a
wife and four daughters, who reside at
Kirksville, Mo., two brothers, R. M.
Holt of Centerville, formerly of Ot
tumwa, and Henry Holt of Ute. The
arrangements for the funeral have not
been completed.
