A Coroner's jury returned a verdict of death by accident yesterday in the case of Barry Baldwin Jr., who was asphyx- iated at his-home, 2045 Washington street on January 15. The principal witnesses were George Van Norden and John R. Balrd. Van Norden, who said he worked around the racetrack, testified that on the even- ing previous to the day on which Bald- win’s body was discovered he accompa- nied Mr. Baldwin home at his request, the last named azving informed the wit- ress that he expected some trouble. John R." Baird was on the doorstep, and Bald- win said to him, “You can’'t come in Lere.” Baird replied: “I want to go in; it is mot vour house; it is my sister's house.” Then Baird and Baldwin clinch- ed and the witness ran up and separated them. He requested both men to go into the house, and they did so. Baldwin was not under the influence of liquor. After the witness got home Baldwin telephoned for him, but the witness’ folks did not know that he was home and therefore did not notify him. “Many, many times,” continued the wit- ness, “Mr. Baldwin said to me, ‘Some day I'll go by the gas route.’ " The witness and Barry had three or four drinks together on the afternoon of the 14th, closing their conviviality with a pint bottle of champagne. John R. Baird, brother-in-law of the deceased, testified that on the eVening of the alleged altercation he, the witness, ‘was notified by telephone that Mrs. Bald- win, his sister, and her husband wished to see him. When he got to the house Baldwin was on the sidewalk, about twenty feet away, talking with Van Nor- den and another man. Barry said: “I don't want you to go in, Jack: I want to talk to you.” The Wwitness replied, “I'll go in first,” and then Baldwin.caught hold of him. Just then Van Norden staggered up the stairs drunk, missed his footing when he got to the top and rolled down to the bottom. Mrs. Baldwin came to the door at that moment and said: “That’s Van Norden; he s the .cause of all the trouble with Barry,” She told the witness that Van Norden used to pass the house every morning at 3 o'clock and ring the door- bell, and complaint was made to the po- lice about it. The witness did not think that Barry had been drinking very much. J. Early Craig testified that he had been Baldwin's intimate friend and légal ad- viser for seven years, and that Baldwin was always of a cheerful disposition. — Adler & Sons of Chicago, Manufac- turers of Men’s Fine Clothing, Had not stated too much in praise of their goods when writing a personal letter to Mr. H.

Last week the first division, under command of Lieutenant Leland, shipped eighteen men, and it is expected that at the meeting next Tues- day twenty more will be posted on tho berth deck. Lieutenant Harloe, command- T ing the second division, reports elght new recruits and several applications.

Each member of the board prepares a set of written ques- tions, to each of which the card date must make written answer. The questions are particularly sharp for those who have al- ready been on cruise, either with the militia or in the regular navy. Captain Nerney has notified the com- manding officers of divisions that they must be prepared to pass examination MERRY DANGERS AT BARN BALL Lebenbaum’s Employes Mingle in an Unique Entertainment.
