F. Edis in charge, the Jury after about forty minutes delibera- tion, found that Edouard Bosse, forty years of age, died Septem- ber 18 of electrocution, manner of ) accident undetermined. Doctor Douglas Howatson, Dis- trict Pathologist of Kirkland Lake, testified to finding a burn on the 1 right arm of the deceased and two } small burns on the left ankle, with corresponding burns on the cloth- ing. The heart, liver and lungs showed haemorrhaging and the ev- § idence indicated death by electro- cution. d Constable A. Osburne of the' Elk Lake detachment of the O.P.P. in- vestigated the accident and showed photographs of a reconstruction of the scene of the accident and a woolen sock taken from the late Mr. Bosse after the accident, show- ~ing a burn in the ankle. _ Jean Guy Bosse, 14, who was assisting his father on the roof with the antenna stated, through inter- pretor N. Danis of Kirkland Lake, that his father asked to be helped as he felt he was going to fall. A second son, Paul Emile, 18, was on the ground while his father worked on the roof and stated his father felt one shock, smoked a cigarette while seated on the roof, and returned to work adjusting the antenna head before raising it to it's final resting place, and got the second and fatal shock. The antenna mast was a piece of pipe about twenty feet long, leaning against the house with the head of the antenna protruding above and out from the roof of the house. A twenty-three hundred volt power line runs about six feet out from the eave and at the top of a pole about twenty-three feet tall. The power to service the house runs in through a steel service pipe or mast about five feet above the surface of the roof and it was against this pipe that the. accident victim braced. himself as he work- ed on his antenna head. Mr. Laurent Boivin, who was also on the scene of the accident, stated that about fifteen minutes 'Annie De ynan of Cobalt. -- + Mr. and Mrs. Melven Burrows are shown following their recent marriage in the Salvation Army Citadel in New Liskeard.

Oldest City The oldest incorporated city in Canada is Saint John, New Bruns- wick. It rivals Halifax as the win- ter port of eastern Canada. Its dry- dock is one of the largest in the British. Commonwealth. , elapsed from the first to the fatal} shock. Mr. H, E. Burton, Kirkland Lake, an inspector for the H.E:P.C. stated that all service installations on the house were up to Hydro standards. Mr. Harold Kirkland Lake, Line Foreman with Hydro for 18 years, stated that the 2300 volt line met all regulations} regarding distance from the house and height from. the ground. He also testified that.standard service loads 'would. not. burn either cleth- ing or the body if contacted, as was. indicated in the pathologists | report. ; Mr. H:; Dunfield enlarged on the report by Mr, Burton and Mr. Fen- nel regarding the possibiliti¢és of the fatal: shock coming from -the service line and mast, stating that '| the location of the burn marks on the 'body and on the service mast where Mr. Bosse had' placed his left leg for support indicated-+that the accident could only have been caused by the antenna head being accidentally touched to the heavy line passing close to the house, as Mr. Bosse reached to adjust, the head. As grounding from the ser- -vicé mast was in perfect soil for grounding, anyone touching the service mast was as perfectly grounded as walking around down on the ground, and a shock from the high voltage line passing the house would pass clear through the body and go to the ground, and}. this was the only possible way to receive the fatal electrical cur- rent in this accident. The Jury consisted of Hubert Neumann, foreman; Fred Therrie- ault, Donald Campbell, Walter Scott, Peter Desormeaux, all local businessmen. Court stenographer was Mrs. K. Wildman of Kirklana Lake. é + Funeral services were held at the Roman Catholic Church with Father Fernand Guilbeault officiat- ing and burial was in the cemetery at Matachewan.

Classified Ads Brimg Resulfs lay over eight hundred linoleum tiles. I') be fixing up my flower beds, putting tin collars on my roses, planting bulbs, pruning ras- berry canes and a million and one other things that have been so sorely neglected this summer and fall. At least, sitting here in the office, I THINK I'm going to do all that. It sounds easy, just needs a bit of planning and a bit of "get up and go". However, I'm probably forgetting that the phone will ring umpteen times, that friends will drop in, that I have several night meetings that I must attend, that I'm going to visit a few friends that I've been neglect- ing, and, too, that I'll likely get tired and decide that I'm not go- ing to do anything. Never mind, even if I don't get very much done, I'll be back in the office the day after Thanksgiving, hoping that everyone will have lots and lots of news for me about their holiday" week-end and their guests and vis- its, wot % What do you suppose I bought last night!
