dent of the city for but two .years,
had won the respect and admiration
of all who came into contactwith him,
whether in business or social pursuits.
In Mr. Jackson the Times mechanical
staff has lost a most efficient and
valued member, and union men in
every trade all join in their sincere
regret for the loss of one of organized
labor's most earnest supporters.
Attention is called to a letter from
Coroner Blown appearing in another
column. regarding the death of.Alonzo
Jackson, the highly respected Secre-
tary of the Trades and Labor Coun-
cil ; and the testimony of the reput-
able physicians therein named should
satisfy the public, coupled with the
views of the bereaved father. There
is no doubt Mr. Jackson suffered from
an assault, but it seems equally cer-
tain that this had no bearing' on the
cause of his death, and Lha attempt to -
make a sensation out of the incident
can only harrow the feelings of the ..
family who mourn his loss. In this
connection it may be pointed out that
a reportorial adventurer, who is
known thiough Canada as "The Win-
nipeg Liar," is now engaged in news-
paper work in Moose Jaw, but, of
course not on the staff of the Evening
Times.

In connection with the death of
Alonzo Jackson, Coroner Brown to-
day sends the following letter :
To the Editor Evening Times :
Sir, -On n000uni of the repeated ap-
pearance in the Morning News of
sears headlines as to the cause of
death of Alonzo Jackson and the in-
cessant demand for an inquest, I feel
that in duty to the physicians who
were in attendance, namely Dr.
Leask and Turnbull, and to myself as
coroner, an explanation of the cir-
ctt,nstttnces surrounding the case will
not only satisfy the public mind but
will also show that the course I have
taken in view of the evidence I have
before me, was the only reasonable
one to be taken. 011 being notified by
the police of the case, 1 interviewed
the nurse iu attendance first, who
stated that there were no evidences
of an assault visible and that death
was due to a very severe attack of
scarlet fever. Dr. Leask was inter-
viewed and to quote his own words
"There was no evidences of any as-
sault visible in any way and I feel
warranted in stating that death was
due to very malignant attack of
scarlet fever, the worst I have ever
seen." On being asked as, to the
death being either doe to 017 accelerat-
ed by the assault, the Dr. said death
was rine to the causes
stated. I do
not believe the assault had any bear
ing on the death. Dr. Turnbull on be-
ing interviewed' corroborated De.
Leask's statements, In conversation
with Mr. Jackson (father of deceased)
this morning, lie stated : "I do not
think the death was the result of the
assault. 111 did think so I would in-
sist o1 an inquest. In view of the
evidence quoted and on consideration
of the oath necessary before an in-
quest can be held, I did not, nor do
I yet feel justified in doing other
than I have done, but if the Editor of
the, News is prepared to take the re-
quired oath and furnish me with the
necessary evidence to warrant action
being taken isit1
be only too willing
to comply. The oath to be taken is
as follows :
"That from information received by
me I am of the opiuioil that there is
reason for believing that deceased did
not come to his death from natural
causes, or from mere accident or mis-
chance, but that be came to his death
from violent or unfair means or cul-
pable or negligent conduct of others
under circlllflStanees requiring in-
vestigation by a coroner's inquest.•
Now as to the fattility of scarlet
fever being.tulktlown within a week
aid usually two weeks as quoted by
the News,, I feel that he is laboring
tinder a misapprehension as to what
the physician whom he Interviewed
really said as I am sure no medical
man would go on record in making
any such state,neet knowing the
treacherous nature of the disease and
in face of the statements of men like
Osler, Wilson, Delmer, of Berlin,
Strumpeil, Holt, Starr, Schick, of
Vienna, Abtof Chicago and a host of
other authorities who warn physicians
in cases of a malignant type to look
