Mrs. Biggs, aged 70 years, suffered from chronic myocarditis, or inflammation of the muscular tissue of the heart, and it was of heart disease that she died.
Dr. S. E. Ehle of the Home medical staff, was foreman of the jury, and he testified to the deceased breaking her leg last winter, and to having been treated for this heart ailment, referred to above. It was on his testimony that the verdict of the jury was based.
Davis Sennis, Sergeant of Cottage 2, and his wife and Mrs. Mitchell, were witnesses before the jury in addition to Dr. Ehle; and they testified to the facts of the death; how the deceased had been up and around her room during the day, and had complained of pains in her chest early in the evening. She ate supper, however, and was preparing to retire when, uttering a couple screams from pain, she fell over on the bed and died within a few minutes. In the room with her were three other members of the cottage, Mesdames McDermott, Akers, and McCullough.
Mrs. Biggs lived in this county many years. She is said to have a sister living on Sixth street, between Vermont and Broadway.
