Both the Veterans its a rad the . 0. L .have wir- ed to have the body sent here, but the lioepilal,authorities thought it best to bury him at Guelph, 'i'be Guelph Herald gives the follow- ing account: (:Monday's Daily) A gruesome discovery was made shortly before 6 o'clock on Sunday afternoon, when a fanner, who hap- pened to be passing through the old, disused quarry on the Speedwell Military' Hospital premises, discover- ed the remains of a man, is- such a state of decomposition that it was difficult to recognize the features. He notified the military authoritiels, who after some investigation iden- tified the 1y sod as that of Fred Tucker, who had been a patient at the hospital for a month. His home was at Exeter, Accidental Death. Dr. 1. 1-h Orton, coroner, was noti- fied, and had the remains removed to McNiven and York's undertaking par- lors in this city. An inquest was nec- essary, and this morning a jury was eel panelled, which, after reviewing the remains, 'adjourned till 3 o'clock to- morrow afternoon, when the evidence of those concerned will be taken. The jurymen are: 'rhos. McCormick, fore - Mat; James Palmer, Jas. Johnson, Dan. Watt, Jacob Reinhardt, Geo. A. Bibby and William Johnson, It is the general belief that the af- fair was an accident'. Tucker was admitted to the hospital suffering from rheumatism and nervous debility, He was of a quiet disposition, gave no double and Mator Shannon gives hint a good word in every Way. it is sup- posed that Tucker %cent for a walk and stopped above the old stone quarry which has been in disuse since the re- formatory dosed, lie may have -leen i1 • ins leaning h4 a�a1 t the crane which is sit- uated there, and lost his balance, or have become dizzy on looking down In- to the quarry, which is over GO feet deep at that point. The fall was a terrible one and his skull was splashed ill, though the full nature of his injuries were not at first discernable owing to the ravages of insects on the face. Death was no doubt instantaneous. Thought to be on Leave. ""` • The dead ratan has been missing since last Thursday morning, the supposition et the hospital being that he had gone away t 1 visit friends and would show up when his leave expired. Tucker was a man about 45 years of age. He was unmarried and a tailor by trade. He enlisted with the 1Gist Battalion curd went to France with the 58th Battalion, He was there for a year, A fence should be erected above the quarry where the deceased met death. It is a dangerous place. (Tuesday's Daily.) Remains Interred. The remains of the late Fred Tucker the ratan who ,net with the accident at the military hospital, were removed ,loved from the undertaking parlors yesterday and interred in the ceme- tery. (Wednesday's Daily.) Coroner's Jury Verdict. • A verdict of accidental death with the recommendation that proper safe -guard be put around the quarry on the pre- mises of the Speedwell military hospi- tal, was the verdict brought in on Tues- day afternoon by the coroner's jury, empanelled to- consider the Circumstan- ces connected with the tragic deattlhrof Fred Tucker, an innate of the hospital whose remains were discovered Sun- day afternoon. The inquest was held at the hospital presided over by Dr. T. 11. Orton, cor- oner. Nine witnesses were examined, besides receiving the result of the post mortem examination given by Dr. H. 0. Howitt, His report shoved that the unfortunate man's skull had been fractured in the fall, and his body badly bruised. Death was, no doubt, almost instantaneous. The witnesses who testi tied in connection with the inquest were: Col, E. G. Shannon, Miss A. Scuttling, G, Hynlnen, R. Wel- ton, Dr, W. 1-1. Taylor, W. Bryan, 0. I}. 8anoent, E. A. O'Hara and L. Germain, The only evidence of importance that was brought out, showed that tine last seen of the deceased was on Thursday last, about noon. He was then noticed about the grounds, walking in the direction where the quarry is situated, in which he met his death, presumably through diz- ziness while standing on the edge of the precipice, His meal ticket was lest punched for breakfast on Thurs- day of the day he evidently came to his untimely end. The ward -master omitted to report his absence. After hearing the evidence, the jury through their foreman, Mr. ,MaeCnrlitack, brotigltl In the following verdict: "We, your ,jury, find that Fred Tucker came to his death acci- dently on the premises of the hospital of the Soldiers' Civil Re -Establishment Department on tine sevnth day of Aug- ust, in th Township of Guelph, by fall- ing into all-ing'into n quarry, We recommend that some �irotecton be -laced n 1 scour rhes retitlse,e. p d e p YOUNG MAN 115 GREATLY RDLOV- I4D BY f3It1'i'ISDIIIRS.
