A coroner's jury, inquiring into
the death of John J. Gruminett,
25, Seaforth, presented the follow-
ing verdict:
"We, the coroner's jury find
that his death was instantaneous
from 4 injuries suffered in an
cident, when a truck driven by
him struck a bridge while travel-
ling on No. 12 Huron County road,
six and one half miles north of
Seaforth, early the morning of
June 18. The accident may have
been due to the driver falling
asleep. We attribute no blame to
any person or persons."
Pr. F. G. Thompson, Clinton,
coroner, conducted the inquest
while Crown Attorney IL Glenn
Hays examined witnesses.
Members of the jury were: Wil-
liam Alexander, foreman, Ross
Driscoll, Fred Sinclair, Harry Rap-
son and Leslie Pepper, all of Mc-
Killop.
Provincial Constable H. Snell,

ed that he had known the victim
a number of years and that "he
was a splendid type of youth,"
and showed no evidence of drink.
