PETRONNA INQUEST.
Investigation of Italian's Death Conducted by Coroner Kleindienst.
Coroner Kleindienst conducted an inquest at the morgue this morning in
the case of Pasquale Petronna, the Italian section hand of the Buffalo,
Rochester & Pittsburg railroad, who was killed in a toolhouse near
maplewood on Thursday night. Assistant District Attorney Widener
conducted the examination of the witnesses.
Dr. Charles S. Craig of Hamlin, who performed the autopsy on the body,
testified that the cause of death was due to cerebral hemorrhage, caused
by a fractured skull.
Elmer Brown, a Chili farmer, stated that Myer, the man under arrest,
came to his house at 6:30 o'clock Thursday evening and asked for work
and some food.
Edward D. Shanahan, the section foreman, testified that he had seen
Petronna display money several times.
The testimony of the other witnesses showed that Myer had been seen in
the vicinity for two days before the crime was committed. It was also
shown that Petronna left the toolhouse about 7 o'clock Thursday evening
and did not return until after 8 o'clock. It was also customary for the
deceased to leave the door of the toolhouse open while going for milk or
on some other errand. This would give the person who committed the
crime an opportunity to secrete himself in the house while Petronna was
absent.
At noon Coroner Kleindienst adjourned the inquest until 10 o'clock
to-morrow morning. Several witnesses will then be called upon to
testify about the case.
