DYING MAN IN TRAIN
“PEEPINC TOM" THEORY
LONDON, June 24.
Saying that it was clearly a case of a “Peeping Tom,” Dr. R. L. Guthrie, the East London coroner, recorded a verdict of accidental death at a Poplar inquest yesterday on John George Graver, 24, a L.N.E.R- messenger, of Belgrave-road, Walthamstow, who was found in a railway carriage at Bethnal Green Junction with head injuries. Thomas Mitcham, guard of a train going to Stratford, said that he saw a man in a Liverpool-street train standing on the carriage seat, with his head out of the window. The man was looking into the next compartment in which a young couple were embracing. A detective said he found blood on a bridge. Medical evidence showed that death was due to a fractured skull which was consistent with the man having knocked his head against a bridge.
