Coroner's Inquest.
A telegraphic dispatch having been received about 1 o'clock p. m. on Tuesday last from Mr. Elliot, at Mississippi Bar, that his services were required at that point, Cororner Bell proceeded thither on the same day and held an inquest on the body of S. S. Roath, who was found dead in his bed on that morning. The evidence elicited at the inquest was as follows:
J. H. Wilson sworn---I reside at Mississippi Bar; am a miner; I recognize deceased as S. S. Roath; have known him for four years; he resided in this place and was acting as the agent of the Bear River Water Company; I conversed with him last night for two hours; he retired to bed about 10 o'clock, as usual; appeared in good health; I slept in the same room; about 3 o'clock this morning I heard him make a noise like a person having the nightmare; I asked him "Is that you Roath?" there was no reply, and I did not hear any other noise; went to sleep; thought no more of it; in the morning I learned that he was dead; he was an intelligent, temperate man; I don't know of his having any enemies, or of any thing that would induce any one to kill him; he had no money with him of any consequence.
D. S. Graham sworn---I reside at Beals' Bar; I recognize deceased; his name is S. S. Roath; I knew him in South Carolina; we were then employed by the railroad company; he was about 45 years of age, and came to this country from Columbia, South Carolina; he was a respectable man; he always deposited the money which he received during the week as agent of the Bear River Co. on Saturdays; I do not know what caused his death.
J. M. Elliott sworn---ETC, ETC, ETC.
J. M. Rhineberger sworn---ETC, ETC, ETC.
Jacob Coppes sworn---I keep the house in which deceased was found this morning; he had lived with me four months; last night at 10 o'clock he took a drink and went to bed; he was a moderate drinker; this morning I was told that he was dead; I went in and found him as described by the other witnesses; in his pocket was a watch, which he had borrowed from Mr. Graves, and $29 15 in money; I have no idea of what caused his death; there was no saliva or froth about his mouth; he looked quite natural.
The Jury returned a verdict that in their opinion deceased came to his death by "visitation of Providence."
