Before Coroner H. B. Gueet and a jury composed of G. C. Sinclair, T. Hammitt, T. M. Watson, Thos. Sullivan, Frank McAithur and R. C. S. Randall on Monday afternoon the story of the blow which led to .the leath of Thibault was told..
There were two witnessen to the affray, Dpminic Dmollos and George Caus, both city employee*. Dmollo testified that he was engaged with Ross in hauling water pipe to the city nheds, and while on the way. fromv Seventh avenue weat rait the deceased. Ross complained-to de. ceased of damage done to hie garden on the previous evening by stock, and asked ThibaujTwhat Jie was going to do about/it Thibault replied that he was/Occupied with the herd during thjraay and had no time for night work. Ross became very abut, ive in- hid language and called Thibault a number of vile names. Thi? bault then made an unsuccessful attempt to drag Ross from his wagon; then mounted his 4ione and rode away. When the witness and Ross arrived at the city sheds Thibault was awaiting them. Thibault demanded that Ross "take back" the names he had called him, and struck Ross with his fist. Rosa did not attempt to return'the blow in kind, but seized a piece of scantling (produced in court) and struck Thibault over the head.
Thibault was facing Ross when the blow was struck and immediately sank to his knees.   In the opinion of
witness Thibault did not expect Rosa to use the club. The witness also made the statement that Robs had warned Thibault to "keep away" from him before either blow waa struck.                              /•/.
The evidence of George Caus corroborated that of the previous wit ness in practically every detail of the fij-jht. Caua was not a witness to the tajginaing of Uie quarrel on Seventh #vnuMv but search* Mom* atruek, aa Ueaci-ibed above, at the city sheds.
Charles Fqeeman, dty electrician, stated that Roas, as Boon aa he real* i'.ed tKe injury he had inflicted, came to the city halt for assistance. The witness, in company with City Clerk Tate and Chief Constable Carlow anawered.the call; and at the chief's suggestion that the injured man be •taken to the hospital, Thibault was able only to murmur the word "home." Accordingly he was assisted to Mr. Freeman's automobile and taken to his home near by. On hw arrival there, and being admitted by Mm. Thibault, he collapsed on the bed and-became unconscious.
Dr. Ewert testified that immediately, the serious nature of his injury waH apparent, the injured man was removed to the hospital where early in the evening an operation was per fortned in the hope of relieving the pressure on the brain ajnd saving hi; life. Dr: Ewert stated that the skull had been fractured and. death resulted from the shock of the blow and heinorrhage*.     ¦>                         f. .
7" The jury visited the undertaking parlors and viewed the body and also visited the scene of the occurrence A verdict to the effect that Joseph Thibault came to h)s death aa the re suit of a blow delivered by Joseph Ross.
