EVANS, William J.
News was received here last Friday morning of the death of Wm. J. Evans at the Roosevelt hot springs. The evidence
adduced at the coroner's inquest showed that the deceased had gone into the pool to bathe and remained too long
in the water, which is quite hot and brought on heart failure. Howard Evans, brother of the deceased, at once arranged
to have the body shipped to his home at Houghton, Mich., where deceased had a wife and several children. Undertaker
F. L. Jones went to Roosevelt Friday afternoon and returned with the remains Saturday morning, and Monday morning
Howard Evans left with the body for Michigan. Deceased had been here several months. He was an expert
accountant and expected to go to work for a local firm on his return from Roosevelt.
The Republican correspondent says:
At the inquest, which took place Friday evening, several witnesses were introduced who testified to having seen
the man on the day of his death. The proprietor of the bath house was also called and he testified to having rented the
man a bathing suit. He said that the man made one dive head first into the pool and never came to the surface
again. Dr. Palmer, who performed the post mortem examination testified that the man had a large heart and a
probably weak one. That the shock of the dive had cause its action to cease and death resulted. No evidences of
poisoning were found to exist in the stomach. The verdict returned by the jury was that of accidental death
caused by drowning.
