The Coroner's Jury in the rase of .Albert ,L,lJilimexr;wbo was shot by a burglar in his house, SIS TJancock streot, Brooklyn, on the morning of July 2. returned a verdict Iu trhlch the effort to make a sensa tional mystery of the case were ig nored and the plain fact fonnd that Mr. Latimer came to his death from a pktol hot wmind In the chest Inflicted by some person uukuown. Following a very strong supi;ostlon made by Cor oner Willlnms In bis charge, the Jury expressed the N'lbf thut- an ante mortem statement from Mr. Latimer auuuiii ime i-eu oiMaimxi. " i ins 1ST be exsi-t text of the verdict as rendered: "We. the Jury, find that the said Albert C. Latimer came to his death tu the ninth. day of July at St. Mary's Hospital by shock and internal hem orrhage and. pucunjonta. follow I uj: a1 penetrating pistol shot wound of the chest lnlilctel by some ieron un known to the Jury. "We also belifve that an ante-mortem statement should have been ob tained, but the 'nature of the evideuee makes It impossible to determine who whs at fault." William H.

Myron Latimer, who said cun so!In?;y, "I'm sorry for you. old man. The last seson of the inquest was the mosrssnat!onal. Harry J. Parker, who claims -to have been employed by. Latimer to make a study of W. H. Tufhill's attentions to Mrs. Latimvr, was the principal witness, and testi fied to the frequency of Tuthill's viiils, and to the tuVpieions which his re jrrs of then! aroused In Latimer's mind. Parker admitted that he had tiot received a detective's license, Olid his testimony .was discrsditicd. ..

Afte'henrins the verdict of the Jury, District Attorney Clarke declared that It was Just what he expected. "Mrs. Latimer's story of the burglar," he said, "was the only substantial tes timony given ut the inquest as to the identity of th man who shot her hus band, and, of course, smh testlmouy must prevail in the jurors' minds. "I will not take the case before the Grand Jury., So far as-the present proceeding Is concerned. I am tliioiiiih with' the ease. It remains a police case. or. 'rather, I should say,--4t-reverts to the police. It is now "entirely la the! hands. ,"lii the confused mass of testimony taken before the Coroner's Jury there was lint one single piece of evideuee which I would eonsider competent to place before a- tiiund Jury except the tc,tlmotiy of Mrs. Latimer. . "The ''hurgiar theory has not in any way been eliminated by the inquest. It is uow, as it was ,,11 ii.st. thetif.ly suls:autiiil theory. The testimony of Mrs. Latimer supports it. and Jier testi mony has not ln-eti s!iakn., I think the verdict is the only one that could . have been reached atter a fair eoasid- i rut ion of the evidence." . j PURSUED BY AN OFFICE. t Woah CuflTtnau t'natle to tirt Kill of llun I , . brr Hill, JucJ;, MrUUlilo.
