Autopsy Pending in Death at Mutte Ash Pit
In Mutte a coroner’s inquest failed to determine whether Leon Lemieux died of heart disease or electric shock.

The jury ordered an autopsy by Drs. Norcross and Cowperthwaite, with the inquest postponed to tomorrow evening.

Lamp Blast Evidence Reaches Dead Man’s Fatal Case
The lamp remained burning after Lemieux’s death while electrician Hl M Layne and Pletcher testified similarly. Wires were intact and no leakage found. An abrasion near the lamp on the ascent light wire could not be reached from the ash-pit floor, and there was no current strong enough to extinguish the light or end a life.
