Coroner's Jury Fails to Reveal How Harry L. Butler Died.
The death of Harry L. Butler, a farmer of Poolesville district, whose body was found alongside the tracks of the Washington and Rockville Electric Railway near Halpine, three miles east of Rockville, late Saturday night, remains a mystery. The coroner's jury returned a verdict that it had been unable to ascertain how he was killed.
The jury examined a large number of witnesses, including employes of the railway company and passengers on cars coming out from the city Saturday night. It was testified that a man answering his description was seen on the car leaving Washington at 10:30, but no one noticed him leave the car, and he was not on the car when it reached Rockville. Butler drove to Rockville Saturday morning and left his team at a livery stable, going into Washington by electric car. He is supposed to have been on his way back to the city when he met his death.
He sustained a fracture of the skull and bruises and cuts about the face and head. He had been dead only a short while when discovered.
Butler was forty-three years old and was a son of Charles M. Butler, of Potomac district. He was a widower and is survived by a son and a daughter.
The funeral took place at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. [Next day's funeral notice: Funeral took place from the home of his brother, Walter M. Butler, near Poolesville. Rev. George B. Harrington, pastor of St. Mary's Catholic Church, at Barnesville, conducted the services, and burial was in the cemetery at Beallsville.]
