Find Death Of. hdian Accidental

Alter hri-0811'-ll in I verdict that

the 5000114 imluest into the death of Urban Francis Mitchell oi Len- BOX Ililnd. whose body was iound in the water near the Port mu Wharf on the afternoon oi August 8rd and s. new jury sworn in which reached a veridct of ac- cldental death.

The verdict of the discharged Illry Mad "We the jury, after due deliberation find that Urban Fran- cis Mitchell came to his death sometime between the hours of 11.30 pm. August 2nd and 4 pm, August and at Port Hill whu-1, PHHCE County. Prince Edward Island by drowning due to cause. unknown."

Further evidence was given mg; evening by Mary Elizabeth Mis- chell and Daniel Charles Mitchell.

The former. a sister oi the de- ceased, stated that contrary to earlier evidence given by witness Arthur Francis, who was with Mit- chell on the evening of August 2, that Francis and Mitchell hadn't been friends all summer. She re- lated that they (Francis and Mit- chell) had been in fights several times, the last being about one year ago.

Daniel Charles Mitchell, brother of the deceased. and a ierryman between Port Hill and Lennox Island told of hearing a little girl screeching as he approached the Port l-Till wharf on the afternoon of August 3 on his third trip across from the island and seeing her point: to the water. He said he knew something was wrong and shut off the motor of the ferry boat and then saw the body oi his brother in the water.

The witness also told of finding a suit of underwear on the Port Hill wharf on August 4 which be- longed to his brother, and also a cap. which was later identified by the mother oi the deceased as be- longing to Urban Mitchell. He also said that Mitchell and Francis got along line when sober. but didnt agree when drinking.

Evidence at the first inquest on August 9, which was adjourned when the Jury failed to agree on a verdict, showed that Arthur Francis, a carpenter at Lennox island, and the deceased had been driven to Bummerside. on 1 st. by Courtenay Maynard oi Port Hill and had bought three pints of liquor in a west and house. They arrived back at the Port I-Illl wharf, after consuming liquor en route, according to the evidence. about 11:30 p.m., where Maynard let Francis and Mitchell out oi his vehicle. Pirancis reportedly went to sleep. after several more drinks apiece, and when he came to, Mit- chell was not to be seen.

Francis then took a small motor boat that was moored nearby and started for Iennox Island by pad- dle after failing to start the mater. He fell asleep again. according to testimony, and when he awoke again. between 5 and 5:30 a.m.. the boat was up against the Len- nox Island shore. In-ancis stated in evidence that he thought possibly Mitchell had gone to a friends home on the mainland side to spend the night.

Members oi the second iury were: Joseph Francis Abram. Jos- eph Lewls. Frank Nicholas, Bert Strongman. Thaddius Newcombe. Frank Jsdis. and Robert Strong- man. Thcir verdict was that the deceased met his death accldentl . The pathological report resulting (mm a post mortem conducted on the body stated that death was caused by asphyxia, due to drown-
