Accidental
Death
The inquest into the death
of Albert Roy King of Townsend, conducted by Coroner Dr. Teeter,
reeve of Waterford, was held last week.
Acting crown attorney Waters
was present on behalf of the crown and Reeve J. W. Schuyler of
Townsend, for which corporation deceased was working on Saturday,
followed the procedure.
The verdict in substance
stated that Albert Roy King died on Sunday, 30 Jan 1921 from
injuries which fractured his skull when he was struck by falling
gravel at a gravel pit, and that the accident was not due to any
carelessness by which blame could attach to any person or
corporation.
The coroner's jury consisted
of the following: Lorne Henry, foreman, Alvin Myerscough, Wm.
Myerscough, Joseph Swift, John Anderson, Albert Walton, Harry
Martin.
An inspector from the
department of mines followed the case closely.
