Halpin
,
assistant
house
surgeon
of
the
City
of
Dublin
Hospital
,
stated
that
the
deceased
had
two
lower
ribs
fractured
and
had
sustained
severe
contusions
of
the
right
shoulder
.
The
right
side
of
the
head
had
been
injured
in
the
fall
.
The
injuries
were
not
sufficient
to
have
caused
death
in
a
normal
person
.
Death
,
in
his
opinion
,
had
been
probably
due
to
shock
and
sudden
failure
of
the
heart
's
action
.
Mr.
H.
B.
Patterson
Finlay
,
on
behalf
of
the
railway
company
,
expressed
his
deep
regret
at
the
accident
.
The
company
had
always
taken
every
precaution
to
prevent
people
crossing
the
lines
except
by
the
bridges
,
both
by
placing
notices
in
every
station
and
by
the
use
of
patent
spring
gates
at
level
crossings
.
The
deceased
had
been
in
the
habit
of
crossing
the
lines
late
at
night
from
platform
to
platform
and
,
in
view
of
certain
other
circumstances
of
the
case
,
he
did
not
think
the
railway
officials
were
to
blame
.
Captain
Sinico
,
of
Leoville
,
Sydney
Parade
,
husband
of
the
deceased
,
also
gave
evidence
.
He
stated
that
the
deceased
was
his
wife
.
He
was
not
in
Dublin
at
the
time
of
the
accident
as
he
had
arrived
only
that
morning
from
Rotterdam
.
They
had
been
married
for
twenty-two
years
and
had
lived
happily
until
about
two
years
ago
when
his
wife
began
to
be
rather
intemperate
in
her
habits
.
Miss
Mary
Sinico
said
that
of
late
her
mother
had
been
in
the
habit
of
going
out
at
night
to
buy
spirits
.
She
,
witness
,
had
often
tried
to
reason
with
her
mother
and
had
induced
her
to
join
a
League
.
She
was
not
at
home
until
an
hour
after
the
accident
.
The
jury
returned
a
verdict
in
accordance
with
the
medical
evidence
and
exonerated
Lennon
from
all
blame
.
The
Deputy
Coroner
said
it
was
a
most
painful
case
,
and
expressed
great
sympathy
with
Captain
Sinico
and
his
daughter
.
He
urged
on
the
railway
company
to
take
strong
measures
to
prevent
the
possibility
of
similar
accidents
in
the
future
.
No
blame
attached
to
anyone
.
Mr.
Duffy
raised
his
eyes
from
the
paper
and
gazed
out
of
his
window
on
the
cheerless
evening
landscape
.
The
river
lay
quiet
beside
the
empty
distillery
and
from
time
to
time
a
light
appeared
in
some
house
on
the
Lucan
road
.
What
an
end
!
The
whole
narrative
of
her
death
revolted
him
and
it
revolted
him
to
think
that
he
had
ever
spoken
to
her
of
what
he
held
sacred
.
The
threadbare
phrases
,
the
inane
expressions
of
sympathy
,
the
cautious
words
of
a
reporter
won
over
to
conceal
the
details
of
a
commonplace
vulgar
death
attacked
his
stomach
.
Not
merely
had
she
degraded
herself
;
she
had
degraded
him
.
He
saw
the
squalid
tract
of
her
vice
,
miserable
and
malodorous
.
His
soul
's
companion
!
He
thought
of
the
hobbling
wretches
whom
he
had
seen
carrying
cans
and
bottles
to
be
filled
by
the
barman
.
Just
God
,
what
an
end
!
Evidently
she
had
been
unfit
to
live
,
without
any
strength
of
purpose
,
an
easy
prey
to
habits
,
one
of
the
wrecks
on
which
civilisation
has
been
reared
.
But
that
she
could
have
sunk
so
low
!
Was
it
possible
he
had
deceived
himself
so
utterly
about
her
?
He
remembered
her
outburst
of
that
night
and
interpreted
it
in
a
harsher
sense
than
he
had
ever
done
.
He
had
no
difficulty
now
in
approving
of
the
course
he
had
taken
.
As
the
light
failed
and
his
memory
began
to
wander
he
thought
her
hand
touched
his
.
The
shock
which
had
first
attacked
his
stomach
was
now
attacking
his
nerves
.
He
put
on
his
overcoat
and
hat
quickly
and
went
out
.
The
cold
air
met
him
on
the
threshold
;
it
crept
into
the
sleeves
of
his
coat
.
When
he
came
to
the
public-house
at
Chapelizod
Bridge
he
went
in
and
ordered
a
hot
punch
.
The
proprietor
served
him
obsequiously
but
did
not
venture
to
talk
.
There
were
five
or
six
workingmen
in
the
shop
discussing
the
value
of
a
gentleman
's
estate
in
County
Kildare
They
drank
at
intervals
from
their
huge
pint
tumblers
and
smoked
,
spitting
often
on
the
floor
and
sometimes
dragging
the
sawdust
over
their
spits
with
their
heavy
boots
.
Mr.
Duffy
sat
on
his
stool
and
gazed
at
them
,
without
seeing
or
hearing
them
.
After
a
while
they
went
out
and
he
called
for
another
punch
.
He
sat
a
long
time
over
it
.
The
shop
was
very
quiet
.
The
proprietor
sprawled
on
the
counter
reading
the
Herald
and
yawning
.
Now
and
again
a
tram
was
heard
swishing
along
the
lonely
road
outside
.
