, f age and had frequented
Springfield for the last 25 years.
He had resided on the farm north
cf the city for the last two years.
'Goodman is survived by the
-widow and three children.
Gathering here and there bits
f evidence, the coroner is now
able to give an account of the
tragedy from the time the victim
departed from his home until he
drove outEastCommercial street
two days later en route to his
home. That Goodman was in a
state of inebriety, at the time of
the accident, has been proved.
He was accustomed to visiting

This explains why a search was
not instituted when he did not
return Friday night.
