SHOCK, EXPOSURE CAUSE OF DEATH ls Finding of Jury--Recom- mend New Bridge Where Fatality Occurred Cobourg, Nov. 19.--A jury empan- elled to inqquire into the cifcumstances of the death of Albert W. Crate, of Hamilton Township, formerly of To- ronto, brought in their verdict Thurs- day night in an adjourned session at Port Hope. The late Albert Crate died of injuries received on the morning of October 5 when a car which he was driving broke through the railing of a bridge at Canton, dropping into the Ganaraski River. The jury's verdict was that death was caused by shock and exposure, the cause of accident being that he was blinded by glaring headlights of an unknown car. The jury strongly recommended that the County Councils of Northumber- land and Durham build a new bridge in keeping with present-day traffic, al- so that the culvért south of the bridge be widened, and guard-rails erected to approaches of the same. The evidence showed that the deceased man was driving slowly at the time of the acci- dent.
