I The above is the verdict rendered by - the Coroner* jury in the ease of Rob- • ert Henderson, flic youth who was • drowned at Scbelleiigers landing July » 4 There was no evidence to show that : any boating parties were nearby at the 1 time of the accident. Merrill Robinson, the euiu|iaiiion of . • the drowned boy was the first witness, . to give testimouy, wiiich was as fob , ■ lows: "Accompanied by young Hcnder- • son wgjrodc our bicycles to Schellengers i . i lauding between 1 and 2 o'clock. Satur- j i day afternoon. We disrobed at Mills' i ' boathouse and plunged in the water i about ten minutes after we arrived. We i began to swim and I climbed upon the i pilings under the bridge. Robert was ; following me and shouted, 'I ' ■ slujCt believe I can make it.' About I . thatNime a man came along in a boat ■ and I asked him to take Robert in." At ■ ' this point Coroner Thompson asked | • young Robinlon if he could identify the , : man in the boat and requested Frank , I Canova to stand up. ' Robinson said he wasn't positive but : ! CanoiH looked like the man. Robinson then repeated his assertion' i . that lie had requested the man to take , - young Henderson in his boat that he ; I was drowning and in reply he said the , • boatman shouted. "I can't turn around." ■ "Robert then was struggling a short i 1 time after which he turned on his back i ' and disappeared under the water. I 1 called for Coverdale twice and remained i i there for a half hour. , Mr.-. I.ydia Coverdale said she yas • standing on the bank at the time the i boy was drowning but thought he was , treading the water. She said she heard , i no one calling for help nor saw any i > boat pass by at the time. After the : i body sank it never appeared until • brought ashore about twenty minutes , i late. Frank Canova who was said to have been the boatman who heedlessly pass- i ed by without rendering assistance, testified that he had a party to take out at 3 o'clock and that after he had cleaned up his boat he sailed under the " bridge and turned around at the Cape • May Yacht Club landing. He went over to Mrs. Mills and as she was busy he " went to the tank and drew five gal1 Ions of gasoline for his boat . There ' seemed to be some excitement and I ' asked Mrs. Mills what was the cause Of "the -trouble and she said a boy had - i just been drowned. I went around on • ] the slip and there the boy lay. Several ' • men were there and I took my coat off " and helped them in their efforts to resusticate him. I didn't see a boat nor did I see anyone in bathing. Had 1 1 taken notice of anyone struggling in the i - water I Could have easily saved him i 1 ! as I had four life preservers within easy i - j reach. -j Walter Coverdale said: "7 was sitting | . in my launch on the northwest comer . ■ ! of the bridge . The first knowledge I ! p Iliad was wh.-n T hear,! young Robinson; • shout 'Coverdale.' I looked up and saw r j the boy go under.
