For a number of years there was no coroner for the town of Westerly, the appointee of the town cofincil declining to qualify, the office being considered of no codsequence gince the coroner’s jury plan was supplanted by the ap- “pointment of medical -examiners, who aid_the duty formerly covered by a coroner's jury. About two years ago a foreman at the New England Granite works was killed by the falling of a derrick, and it was considered advisa- ble to officially decide the responsibil— ity. It was then ascertained that there was no coroner for the town of West- erly, and Everett A. Kingsley was ap- pointed coroner and held an inquest in that case The coroner was not called upon to act since that time until the medical examiner and attorney general ordered an inquest as to the circumstances of the death of Daniel Sallivan. Coroner Everett A. Kingsley, assist- ed by Coroner Eugene Lincoln of Prov- idence, representing the attorney gen- eral of Rhode Island, held the Daniel Sullivan inquest Friday afternoon In the town hall, the inquiry being secret and only one Wwitness being before the coroner at a time. Police Chief Brans- fleld acted as court officer. In the c.se under consideration it is alleged that the “poisoned whiskey” from whioh Mr. Sullivan drank was purchased from a resident of Plerce street, who denies the allegation; but that is a question to be settled by the coroner’s inquest, the finding of which will be based upén the evidence intro- duced. From the information received by the attorney general it is evident that that “poisoned whiskey” was pur- chased in Westerly and that the man died in Westerly, making it & case clearly within the province of the prosccuting authorities of Rhode Isi- and. It differs materially from a legal standpoint from the cases where Cor- oner Brown found that the poison was s0ld_as whiskey in Rhode Island to residents of Connecticut and who died in that state. Therefore the attorney general of Rhode Island can go no fur— ther in those cases than to cause the arrest and indictment of the person claimed to have sold the whiskey, for a violation of the lguor law. It is the clagm of Rhode Island authorities that all that legally can will be dome in probing the cause of every suspicious death that has occurred in Westerly Where fo Buy in Westerly ROBERT DRYSDALE & CO. lumber, Steam and Gas Fitter amd Dealer in Supplies. §4 Main Street, Westerly, R.

Forks - d W. Rogers Injured—James from the alleged use of poisoned whiskey. There was a brief session of _the Third district court Friday, Judge Wil- lams stating at the opening that no business that could be continued would be transacted, as it was his desire that court adjourn in respect t6 the mem- ory of Deputy Sheriff Eugene W. Coon, a court officer, who had died since the last session of court. After the read- ing’of the docket Attorney A. T. L. Ledwidge, in behalf of the members of the Washington county bar, read the following resolutions: Stating that the members of the Rhode Island bar of Washington coun- ty, called together by the death of Eu- gene W. Coon, a deputy sheriff for the Dast eleven years of said county, Dlaced on record a tribute to the de- parted deputy sheriff, who was a con- &picuous example of upright, conscien- tious and dignified manhood and offi- cial integrity; an officer of unquestion- ed ability, and painstaking devotion to the duties of his office, and an under .sheriff whose memory will be perpet— uated among the members of the bar in many acts of kindness and official courtesy. He was a man possessing great kindness of heart, which made his character, official and private, one of remarkable symmetry. ‘The resolutions were ordered spread upon the records of the district court of the Third judicial district and an engrossed copy sent to the family of the deceased deputy sheriff. After Judge Williams had alluded to his forty years of acquaintanceship with Mr. Coon, he declared that he ‘was heartily in favor of the resolutions and ordered that they become a part of the record of the court. Then the court adjourned. The deputy sheriff's chair was draped in mourning during the session of court. Sheriff John R. Wilcox has not ap-~ pointed a deputy sheriff for Westerly, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Eugene W. Coon, and docs not propose to fill the vacancy without mature deliberation. In the meantime Deputy Sheriff George H. Barber of Fope Valley is spending most of his time in Westerly, so as to be available in case his service required. .. Constable James W. Burke and Town Sergeant Herbert P. Clark are recep- tive candidates, as are also two ex- perienced members of the Westerly po- lice force. Muscular build are not esential re- guirements of a deputy sheriff, al- though it may be an advantage occa- sionally, as is illustrated in the case of Deputy Sheriff Tubbs of New Lon- don county, one of the most efficient deputies in the state and perhaps the smallest deputy sheriff in build in all New England. Dr. Floyd W. Rogers, a practicing physician _at Wickford, was seriously injured Thursday afternoon by falling from the back porch of his home. . He was on the porch with a son who was sitting on the rail. The doctor leaned against the rail and it broke, and both he and his son fell to the concrete walk. Dr, Rogers struck on his head and was rendered unconscious, the re- sult of the fall being concussion of the brain. “The son was not injured. Local physicians and a doctor from Newport Wwere summoned and in their opinion the injured: man will recover. Dr. ‘Rogers is a native of Waterford, Conn., and is known in Westerly,where he was employed in the drug store in High street kept by Dr. E. H. Knowles several vears ago. Subsequently he was in the drug business as a member of the firm of Rogers & Lyon and later on his own accpunt. Afterward with his brother Heénwy he was in the drug Husiness_in Brooklyn under the firm name of Rogers Brothers. He was also in the drug business in Newport, the home of Mrs. Rogers. He made a spe- cial study of medicine and after pass_ ing a hizhly satisfactory examination became a_practicing physician cated in Wickford. Alfred W. Kenyon of Usquepaugh, member of the state harbor commis- sion,' is critically ill from a general breaking down resulting from ad- vanced age. He is one of the best known men in Washington county, an old guard of the republican party, and a familiar figure at the state capitol. He represented the town of Richmond in the state senate for many vears and first served in the legislature forty years ago. In connection with the Sullivan quest the Connecticut law enacted in 1903 was invoked for the first time Westerly authoritics in securing the presence of an fmportant witness by a demand made upon the state of Con- fiecticut, which under the law permits the sumimoning of a_ witness from the State to any other New England state, the subpoena to have equal force as it Berved in the state where the witness was wanted. : In compliance with _ th ments of law. Coroner Kir notice to be served on E. Kennedy i thien in Paw. il 2 inquest to be held to inquire into the death of Daniel Sullivan. Whereupon )g:uce Kennedy issued a summons for e attendance at the inquest of Pat- xick Brady. which w: Bhetitt Willaun H. “quire- given to Deputy Sey for service: Brady, served the subpoena, handing the witness 31 for mileake and $2 for loss of time fee, which Brady mm-d‘.n‘sm w-; made Thursday even and Brad: Came into Rhode Isiand and testified at the inquest Friday afternoon, al- though an unwilling ‘witness. past 3 o’clock Ffld‘y after- Kimgatey '-ht.h. That ‘4t the Coroner ey request of Attorney General Greenough fhie easion would_be Wriseta st 5 few spectators and newspaper - sentatives assembled were notified to retire. Then the inquest began, the questioning being_conducted by Coro- ner Lincoln of Providence, only one witness at a time being allowed in ¢the ball. Oliver H. Willlams, Jr., acted as clerk and stenographer. The session lasted for three hours and the testimony of twelve witnesses was taken, which will be transeribed and submitted to ‘the witnesses for signature, and it is expected that this will be accomplished by Saturday Coronier Kingsley held another ses- sion of the coroner’s court Friday even- ing and took some corroborative testi- mony. He said additional testimony would be taken Saturday of a frag- mentary nature but important in ¢l completion of the case, and he be- lieved that then the coroner’s inquest would be closed. The coroner said 1t Yould be three or four days before he uld complete his report, which would be filed with the clerk of the superior court. A significant feature of the Inquest wase the detention by order of the cor- oner of Patrick Brady, who is consid- ered an important and unwilling wit- ness in the Sullivan case. If he is as a_witness before the grand jury at the September term of the superior court. . At the age of fouh score and four, James S. Barbour died at his home in School street. Mr. Barbour was born in Hopkinton, but resided in Westerly nearly all his life. He is survived by Mrs. Barbour and a son, Louis K. Bar- bour. For many years he worked at his trade as a carpenter for C. Maxson & SonMA,nd also for the nloc:!edll! firm of Maxson & company. e was an upright citizen, a member "of the Seventh-day -Baptist church, and also held membership in Granite council, Royal Arcanum.

It is the fashion to decry and de- nounce those Americans who would “keep the powder dry” when coming in contract, diplomatically or otherwise, with Japan. “The doth _protest too much methinks.” Everybody in Japan is insisting that a war between that country and ours is both absurd and impossible; but that is_precisely what they said about the threatened war with Russia that came suddenly and proved costly and bloody. It was a clap of thunder from a serene sky—the assault on Port Arthur, that was the. unheralded beginning of one of the greatest ané one of the bravest wars of mankind. Tt is rather persistently asserted that Japan has no money to finance a big wa but how if she should begin to imagine that it would turn out a profitable enterprise? We all know what an immense in demnity she.expected from Russia as the price of defeat and how the Presi- | dent of the United States brought | about peace without so Bfit acrifice on the part of the mflflh d.
