The old man was suerina from rheumatism and after being committed. was driven in a cut- ter all the way from Cookstown to Barrie. The ride that distance only aggravated the disease so that when the old man arrived in gaul, his only shelter, he was insevere pain and so much so we believe that he asked that he mightbe ki led to end his su'ering.- In two or three days the old man was able to -be around but suffered another attack and passed away on Friday morning , The jury returned the to lowing verdict: ' -" That Jeremiah Graham came to his deathin the county aaol on Friday morning, January 14th, 1898, and that we are of opinion from the evidence before us that his death'_ar'ose from na`tural__canses` .__We are also of the opinion that the deceased receiv-A edgproper care and attention from all the oiciala of the jail during the time he re.- `.mained in the jail._ We; the jury, disap-3 prove `of the `method taken in conveying an old man in.` delicate health from Oookstown to Barrie `during the cold season of the year l in: such '~a manner as to`inict`suEering; and perhaps ,injury.thi-ough cold -and exposure `. \`AI.Iy.iIn .
