This was the verdict rendered by the Coroner's Jury of 12 men who heard all the evidence in the case before Justice Doty on Friday afternoon. Mr. Ritter had been nursing the two sick men who are in the cottage back of Rand Street. He had been on duty in daytime and one of them had been very violent in the delirium of fever. Mr. Ritter had had a rather bad day of it on Monday and on quitting to start home that evening complained of his hard lot and said that ever since he had been on the desert he had done nothing but nurse sick men and take care of crazy ones and he was getting tired of it. On leaving, he shook hands with Mr. Ellis who took his place and said he would just fool them tomorrow. Nothing was thought of this however until he failed to show up next morning and it was learned he was sick in bed. He took sick Monday night and Dr. Nichols was sent for about 2 o'clock and again at 5 o'clock in the morning. The doctor testified that at his first and second visits he found no symptoms of morphine poisoning, but did discover that he was suffering from ptomaine poisoning and treated him accordingly. in the medications prescribed by Dr. Nichols there was not more than 1 3/4 grains of morphine all told and both he and Dr. Swayne testified that if he had taken it all in an hour it would not kill him. Both doctors also testified that he must have had 5 to 6 grains to keep him in the comatose condition he was in for so long a time before death. During his first days sickness he also took a small bottle of Chamberlain's diarrhea medicine, but it was not prescribed by a physician. Dr. Swayne was called to attend him at 1 o'clock Thursday, and Mr. Ritter died a little after 5 the same evening. He was unconscious during all of that time and had been for many hours before. Dr. Nichols and the night nurse at the cottage testified that some 5 or 6 grains of morphine left at the house disappeared and they did not know what became of it. Mr. Ritter was aware it was there and knew its effects. Someone took it away and it might have been Ritter and if so it would account for his condition. The coroner's Jury returned the following verdict: That to the best of my knowledge and the evidence, Albert R. Ritter came to his death by morphine poisoning - intentionally or unintentionally not known - F. O. Moore, John O'Brien, L. V. Lonsway, Frank Griffith, Julius Goldsmith, J. E. Harris, B.B. Summer, D.
