CORONER'S VERDICT ASCRIBES 110 BLAME FOR CMS DEATH Testimony Shows Child Received No Medical Treatment From Regular Doctors Practicing Here. Christian science methods usjed on , Catherine Dorothy Murray, the four year old girl who died July 3 of diphtheria without the attention of a physician, are revealed in the verdict 01 the coroner filed late yesterday.

The coroner brings no charges against the parents of the child nor against the practioners, Edith Cloyd and Ada Converse. Dr. Smelser, city health officer, is conversant with the facts. The coroner's verdict follows: "I, R. J. Pierce, coroner of Wayne County, having "examined the body of Catherine Dorothy Murray and heard the testimony of witnesses, do hereby find, that the deceased came to her death the third day of July, 1914, and tnat the death was due to diphtheria, the said Catherine Dorothy Murray having been treated only according to , Christian Science procedure." Thought Case Mumps. According to the testimony of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Murray, 428 Pearl street, parents of the child, and other witnesses, the girl had been ill for about a week. During that time she had eaten ice cream cones and an excessive amount of mulberries. This,

the parents say, led them to the belief

that indigestion might be the cause of the child's indisposition. Later when the diphtheria became more severe and the swellings on the sides , of the jaw more pronounced, it was thought she had mumps. The Christian Science practioners, Ada Converse and Edith Cloyd, in their testimony say that the girl was pale and made no replies to their questions and did not comment when they prayed or read scripture. Edith Cloyd's Story. Part of the testimony of Edith Cloyd, who gave the last treatments before the death, follows: "I held her on my lap, talked to her and quoted some scripture to her. She looked slightly pale and did not say anything. I made no attempt to diagnose her case but gave the child

treatment according to Christian Science procedure. ... The treatment consisted of prayer and an attempt to establish a realization In the mind of the child through the mind of her mother of the following ideas: "Realization of the principle that God is love and that love destroys fear; and that knowing God as he really Is, Is enough to destroy disease. The treatment was mental or right thinking and if realized, no matter what the child's condition was, I regarded the treatment as efficient." ' Find Child Dead. . Sleep followed the final treatment, according to the testimony of the witnesses. The father, who had left the following Tuesday, returned that night and went up stairs to where the girl was sleeping on a couch. He found

that she had fallen to the floor and

was evidently unconscious. A next I

door neighbor s who was immediately

called, believed the child was dead and called a physician. The doctor was present twenty minutes after the child was found on the floor and he immediately summoned the coroner, declaring her dead.

Cured of Indigestion. Mrs. Sadie P. Clawson, Indiana, Pa., was bothered with indigestion. "My stomach pained me night and day," she writes. "I would feel bloated and have headache and belching after eating. I also suffered from constipation. My daughter had used Chamberlain's Tablets and they did her so much good that she gave me a few doses of them and insisted upon my trying them. They helped me as nothing else has done."

the sewers, did not suffer as much yesterday as expected.- There was water in the cellars but not enough to do any damage and it drained away into the sewers during the night. Excavations made in the streets by the public utilities filled with water w'thin a few seconds after the flow in the gutters started. After the rain last, night, two boys -were wading in the water which collected at Sixteenth and Main streets when both fell into an excavation containing about seven or eight feet of water. Men from a barber shop across the street pulled tuera out. Many stories of freakish results of the lightning and thunder are told. A pony frightened by a crash of thunder, started to run away. A woman wearing a black hat, ran into the rain to stop it. The hall beat her hat down on her head in a tangled mass of millinery. Interurban traffic west was delayed Bix hours. The first car after 11 a. m. to leave for Indianapolis, departed at 5 p. m. A terrific storm at Straughns blew trees across the tracks. Two barns were hurled from their foundations and a number of orchards were laid low.

It partially filled with the dirt from the cave-in and the horse was rescued. Manheads Blow Up. So great was the velocity of the water in south end sewers that at places manheads were moved from the holes by the force of the water. At some places the water spurted into the air three or four feet.

The storm damage to crops yesterday was slight compared to the great amount of good done. No reports have been received of any great damage done by hail. Much of the corn was blown down, by the severe wind, but in most cases it is not jointed enough yet, that any permanent damage will result, and the first warm sun will straighten the stalks again. The oats crop this year is hardly

heavy enough to be damaged much by the storm, and while the rain and wind lodged some of the grain, in most cases it will straighten again. The rain which fell, if properly conserved will assure the corn crop. By

loosening the surface of the soil between the rows with a small drag or old mower wheel, the farmers can form a dust mulch that will hold the moisture in the ground for a long time. The second crop of clover will be greatly benefited, as there was much danger that the excessive drouth would shorten the crop. . Farmers who are planning to sow alfalfa this summer, will now have a splendid opportunity to get the ground in fine shape, and there will be moisture to sprout the seed quickly.

The annual exhibit of the works of American artists will be held earlier than usual at the art gallery. The ex

hibit this year will begin on Septem

ber 22. A large number of the pictures

have arrived and are ready for hanging. The exhibit this year will include about sixty paintings from art

ists of Boston, New York, Chicago, as

well as Indiana artists.
