A PWLLHETTTURNIFG" GASE LACK OF OARE. An inquest touching the death of Miss Eliza- beth .Jones 1(33), daughter of William Jones, plasterer, Cardigan House, West Lnd-.par;de, Pwllheli, was resumed bef )re Mr Coroner Rcbyns Owen, on Saturday mon:-u< Mr R. Isaac Jones was foreman of the jury, and Mr Caradoc Davies, solicitor, wae present for the relatives. Mrs Dorothy Jones said that her stepdaugh- ter was subject, to epileptic fits. She slept alone in the basement of the house. Other member of the family s'lept there in summer, but they now slept on the first floor. No one ever slept with her. \.About three o'clock on Thursday morning the witness and her daugh- ter Elizabeth Griffith were aroused by the smell of smoke. They ran down the cellar, a.nd found the bedclothes of her stepdaughter in flames. The too— up the clothes and extin- guished the flames. Her daughter then went to Talcymerau for Mrs Jones, who came in about ten minutes. Harry Day was then sent for, and he, assisted by IMrs Jones, removed the body from the bed. The witness said that her stepdaughter was apparently quite dead when she entered the bedroom first. They did not sleep in the same bedroom as they considered it was unhealthy to sleep with an epileptic. She and her daughter removed the body from the burning part of the bed. Elizabeth Griffith corroborated and said that the father of the deceased was awaji at the tume. Dr 'Wynne Griffith said it was clear to him that IMiss Jones must have been attacked by an epileptic fit, and that. death had occurred before much burning had taken place. Mr John Williams, a juror, said he would like to make a statement so as to remove pre- judice. The iForeman strongly objected to the word prejudice. A juror, addressing Mrs Jones said: Every- one blames you for leaving her by herself and not taking her to the same room. The Foreman asked if she would have treated her own daughter in the way she treated the deceased. Mrs Jones I gave her every fair play. Mr. Williams, (giving evidence, spoke of overhearing Miss Jones, six weeks ago, state that her relatives were extremely kind to her. and that she was fortunate to have such a home. Summing up. the Coroner said the jury should go on the evidence, and expunge from their minds all they had heard in the streets. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death, due to burns and epileptic disorder, with a rider that there was lack of care shown, see- ing that the young woman was known to be subject to fits.
