Five deaths from injuries inflicted | !t by motor vehicles are classed as homicides, drivers of the cars having been held for grand jury action. In one case the victim died from an in- cised wound of the neck, illuminat- ing gas killed three children, one death resulted from a fist blow, one from a stab wound, one from a wound inflicted with an iron pipe and one from a blow with an iron bar. Under the head of accidental deaths the report shows a total of 236, two legal hangings being included in the number.
