Storey Held at Seaforth on Monday — Undue Blame Should Not Be Attached to Woman Driver, Jury Decides. The in'que'st into the death Of John Franklin: Storey was held at '10 o'clock on Monday morning, July 'lla'th, in the town ball, Seaforth, with coroner, IDr, F. J. B'urrews, presiding, The verdict read: "'We, the jury impianel'led and sworn to weigh the evidence given ,and thereby determine and decide the cause of the death of .John Storey, Seaforth, which occurred on t'he night of. July 9, about 9,115 o'clock, two and ''one-half miles west of Sea - 'forth on ,N'o, S 'highway, find that it. was, due. to multiple fracture of the skull.

Goderich, forcing the vehicle for- ward and into the ditch with such force that death was instantaneous, after his .head struck the ,ground close to the fence on the south side of the road. '"We clo not consider that undue blame should be attached to• Mrs. Watson, because under the circum- stances she used sound judgment in prompt application of the brakes. `1Flurthermore, we are :firmly of the belief that if in accordance with the law, Mr, Storey had a light attached to the 'wagon the accident would, not have happened. "In our opinion more stringent tests should he made and enforced with the granting of iicenses to pros- pective .drivers; especially is this ap- plicable to speed and eye -sight tests. We are further 08 the opinion that a legal speed ,of 50 miles per hour at night,is beyond the limit of safety for many drivers and that it should be lowered for night driving." Chief of Police, W. H.
