Inquest Into Death Of 11!
Benedict Holland Told
One Car Ran Over Him
As He Lay +On Highway;
Seaforth—That Benedict Tolland
20, of St. ,Columban came to his..
death on the morning of October 9,'
by injuries inflicted, by persons, un-
known and apparently driving a
motor vericie two miles east 02 Sea -
forth, was the verdict returned here
on Monday afternoon by an inqueht
under the direction of Coroner Dr.
F, J. Burrows',
Interesting evidence came to
light officially at the hearing held
at the town hall, Where examine -
ton of witnesses was in charge of
Crown Attorney D. M Holmes of
Goderich, It was definitely estab-
lieh' d that the ear which came to
a stop on the highway that morningtin
e. d + over the legs of the youth,
but it was also established that in -
Juries from such a blow could not
have been the cause of death.
Ross Cbapman, driver of a car
owned by George Coleman of Eg
th
monille, told the jury he was
delving along No, 8 Highway in
the early hours of the morning
when he noticed what appeared to
be a black mark on the highway
As he dem ,laser be thought it
war some object and swung the
car out, running over the object.
He tretified. that later one of the
men thought they had better stop
to remove it from tate highway
it might cause an accident, and it
was not until they went back thei
they found it was the injured youth
Accompanying him in the car were
Mr. Coleman, tbe owner, and
eer•lrge Few. Both took the stand
and told much the same story.
They all said the right front
wheel of the car had gone over
the boy When Chapman had
veered out and the evidence at
Traffic Officer Webb of 'Godericlr
in charge of an investigateen-, was
that weight tests made by himself
of this particular car exerted down-
ward showed pressure of only
about 000 pounds ,

able that one or more wheels Of an

said the witness. All the injuries
could have been received if he had
been strualc vfolentiy by an object
when he was standing in an upright
Position.
Dr. W. C.Sproat said he did not
believe the injuries which were dis-
closed: by the post mortem could
have ben. suffered by the right
front wheel of a ear passing over
the youth. Such a thing would not
cause such violent injury intermits,.
said Dr, Sproat, A swift, midden
hard blow would be necessary. he
testified. with the Blore. raining
Brom the lett rear. as indicated by
the rrvitrlree ribs on that side.
