Coroner Williams, in submitting the Latimer murder mystery to the jury, sald that while not disposed to lay any individual blame, he felt sure that some censure should be expressed for the failure of the hospital author- ities to co-opefate with the police authorities in procuring aggtatement oo Albert Latimer during his rational moments, While the jury was preparing a verdict William Latimer and two of his friends searched the court-room for the witness Parker. “I'd give my right arm to be locked in a room with that fellow,” sata ‘William Latimer, ‘Of course, no one believes a word he says, but I’d like to show him what I think of him.
