After hearings In both cases tho matter was settled before It came up In court. August 30th a messenger who came to town for a doctor brought tho re port that Mr. Groves had fallen off his barn and was badly Injured.

Humphrey's, tho coro ner, being out of the state, 'Squire Tho mas Keys, of Brockwayvllle, acted as coroner. Tho following jury was empanelled for the Inquest: J. M. Mc Clelland, Alex McClelland, L. S. Short, John A. Craven, J. C. Hoffman and El mer Cooper. Tho Inquest first met at Beech woods cemetery Friday forenoon and the body of J. R. Groves was disinterred and a Mst mortem examination made by Dr. F. W. Sapp, of Brockwayvillo. Thon adjourned to (troves' lato residence and at 2:00 p. m. began taking testimony. After examining thirteen witnesses the jury's verdict was as follows: "J. R. (iroves came to his death Au gust 3(lth, NMil, by the hands of Ernest Groves by being pushed, causing him to fall from roof of barn to ground, a distanco of about 18 feet."
