Deaths Linked To Sudden Rail Official Inquest Opens
Coroner Weaver in Cincinnati began an inquest into the death of C A Parker, VP of the Cincinnati Hamilton and Dayton and Pere Marquette Railroads, found dead in his office after a noted odor and dilated pupils. Widespread speculation linked the death to a pact with Elia Gesterling, whose body was found at the Vendome Hotel in Chicago. The coroner’s jury failed to confirm the alleged personal crisis pact, and no autopsy was performed at Parker’s death.
