Jury Finds Matches, Had Been Passed By Two Prisoners T0 Fire Victim.

“We tile undersigned jury, em- panellcd to find the cause of death I of Artemas Coles, temporarily lodg- ed as patient in Queens County Jail, do find by the evidence that the deceased came to his death from shock produced by injuries in Queen's County Jail at about 8__o_'_- ciocl: on Wcdilcsciciy, Jan. 27, 1932.

"We further find that his injuries were caused by the burning mat- tress in his cell, this fire, according to the evidence, having been caus- ed by matches passed to him by two prisoners at present confined in the jail.

“We recommend that when the patients are confined to their cells with prisoners at large irrthe cor- ridors, constant watch be kept or‘ them to avoid the possibility of such occurrence in the future.

"And we commend the prisoner, Bernard McCloskey, for his heroic conduct in rescuing the patient from the lire, and the prisoner Ed- ward Weeks for tile straightforward testimony he has given in the case. We recommend that their sentences be shortened 11:. an appreciation for their services.“

The above verdict was given by the coroner's jury yesterday after- noon in the Coles case at the con- clusion of the inquest held in the Queen's County Jail.

The inquest was conducted by Coroner Dr. McKcnna, the Crown being represented by the Attorney General and Mr. Alban Farmer.
