Coroner Ramsay Nevitt says the Terra Cotta inquest was open and in the public interest and that detentions of witnesses were proper. He notes grand jury secrecy, disputes Henry E Davis’s criticisms, and cites habeas corpus as needed to obtain bail for certain held men. Davis seeks sweeping coroner law changes and broader witness rights.

Each donor drops a dollar, the fourth a quarter, while the bishop explains the collection is needed for those who suffer in hard times, noting the hat will contain several fives from the coins.
