The following consisted the Jury: H. R. Moffat, carman; J. F. Brown, John McLaren Leslie, Roy Wade, Janes Morrison, i•1. E.

Bowman, J. R. McLin- den, W. J. McLinden, W. J. Hay, Rob- ert Wightman, Ernest Tidsweil, Camer- on Porter, Hugh Stratton, and Dr. Chas. Caviller, Coroner Dr. A. B. Rutherford conducted the inquest and Crown Attorney Dyre examined the witnesses. Mr. W, H, Wright appear- ed for the Public Utilities Commission. Mr,. H. H. Bowman of Owen Sound. Garage Ltd., was the first witness call- ed to give evidence. He stated that the Owen Sound Garage Ltd, had been wired in October 1919 to furnish pow- er to charge Storage batteries. Mr. W. J. McLinden had done this wiring and installation of the rectifiers. He thought the voltage was 550 volts. Mr, J. R. McLinden, Superintendent of Electric Light and Gas Department, said that his -department had done out- side wiring in October 1919. The wire had been strung from the poles to the three wires conning through the con- duit from outside • the building. The wires are the same now as on May 18th when Libby Was killed. The wir- ing was in fair condition. The west of tine' three wires, had the end expos- ed and was stickingldown about an inch. The covering on the wire is not considered a protection at all, but only I to make it waterproof, 011 1 wet day,it is not effective. If 'a it S put one ]rand on succi a wire and his 'other hand on the grounded pipe .he wt?uld receive a -'shock of 'electricity and death would result.'"' However contact is bet- t'er with the point of the wire than with the insulated wire, • Tap is put on at the joints, but it affords little or no protection from shock if connected with a grounded pipe. The joint was 14 feet above the sidewalk. To make the attachnnent the .Electric Light De- partment, required no permit for the outside. The inside requires a permit. Mr: McLinden said he had looked over the wires that afternoon and had found the insulation on the top of the wire burned id`three pieces and two pieces of flesh sticking to it. it •wasn't the voltage that counted but the 'resistance.

His me rad done the inside work at the 13 tiding leaving three ends, outside. his was done under permit of the' Hydro Electric Inspector and work was inspected afterward. The work. was a first class job. • The wires could have been mode safer by being covered but that is not done in practical in-- stallatien, Mr, W. J. Hay, Hydro -Electric In- spector, said he had been inspector for 12 years. He had granted permit to Owen Sound Garage Ltd, and had in- spected the inside wiring, The wiring Yes in .the very best possible condi- tion, The whole job had been done in the best possible way and was right up to the standard, There is no insul- ation for wires that will stand the weather for very long, - 'Mr. Robert Wightman, an eye -wit- ness of the accid'ent, said he was crossing the 9th St. bridge when he saw Libby painting with a brush in. his right hand. He looked away and then heard Libby groan and saw hint fail with a thud to the ground. lie was just passing by at the time. Mr. Ernest Tidsweli of the Owen Sound Garage was waking at the office door in front of the garage on a cat at the time of the accident. He heard a call and thought they wanted to move the trestle. Looking up he saw Libby apparently suspended', on the wire. The paint brush had fallen. His feet were between the scaffold' and the window on the inside of the trestle. When he saw him, Porter, who was working with Libby, asked for pliers and these were handed hint. He went into the office to get help and summon a doctor, Cameron Porter, said he was paint- ing with Libby when the accident oc- curred, and was at the west end of the building. He saw Libiiy's stand smoke and then Libby held for them half a minute to a nninute. He asked for pliers Libby fell to the ground and help was called. Mr, Hugh Stratton said he was in the office when 'he was notified of the accident, Libby had volunteered to work with the boys painting. He saw him lying on the sidewalk outside. He would probably be alive at the time, dying a short time after, Dr. Chas. Caviller said that when he saw Libby, he was lying on the side- walk to all intents and purposes dead. His heart had stopped beating: Artifi- cial respiration was used at first and then an incision was made. Asked concerning, what help a pulmotor would 1,,Sve been, Dr, Gavilleer said it lwould Brave been of no use under the circumstances. Everything was done that could`be done. .- Coroner Rutherford asl4ed the jury for a verdict on the evidence. The jury was only about five minutes ar riving at the above verdict. • Mrs, H. B.
