Tho Coroner's Post Mortem Showed That tho Child Died from Starva tion Because It Did Not Receive tho Kind of Food Her Condition Required Verdict of the Jurors Was in Accordance with the Pacts Presented to Them for Considera tion. An inquest wns held nt the court house last night in the case of Mar garet Helber, the ir.lntit Jaughtei of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Helber, of Graco street, North Scranton, who died on Frlda, Aug. 25. Tho Jurors were W. D. Davis, Gwllym Williams, Frank J. Foster, E. J. Moran, Edward Morgan and Morgan Morgan and they found that the child's death was due to the neglect of the parents. Mr. nnd Mrs. Helber are believers In the ideas advanced by the Chris tian Alliance and when their child be came III with some lnfuntlle trouble they offered up prayers nnd had the deacons of the church do likewise. The child grew worse nnd finally died and the coroner's post mortem showed that death was due to starvation, the chili not having received the nourishment her condition required and which any competent physician would have pre scribed if called to attend the child. After hearing the evidence Inst night nnd the result of the coroner's post mortem the jury rendered the follow ing vordtet. We llnd that Margaret Helber, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Helber, of Grace street. Scranton, died on Friday. August 2.", 1S9D, of starvation, due to the fact that the child did uot havo proper medical attention. The parents are be lievers In the Clnlstlan Alliance doctrine with reference to the treatment of dis ease. Wo censure tho parents for their neg lect of tho child, which from the evidence before us, we believe wns the cause of tne denth of Margaret Helber. INJUNCTION GRANTED.
