Captain Guthrie Held on Murder Charge After Tragic Death
A coroner's jury returned a death verdict of misadventure for Patrick Thomas Guthrie, sixteen, as his father Captain Patrick Hugh Guthrie of Guthrie Farm Comox faced murder charges. The boy died after a stick struck him during a dispute over a water pipe repair. Guthrie was remanded for eight days amid police warrants. The incident prompted local shock and sympathy for the family. The post mortem found a wood fragment driven into the skull and ruled death from a blow with a hard instrument. The case involves Dr. Briggs and Dr. Hicks, with the Cumberland Lawn Bowling Club planning a clubhouse project nearby.
