A coroner’s inquiry touching the death of Wm. Thos. Woolley, aged 51, of 4 Rectory-road, Rushden, was held at the Rose and Crown, Rushden, on Monday by Mr. J. C. Parker deputy coroner. Mr. C. W. Barker was foreman of the jury. Agnes Espin, wife of Crispin Espin, of 42 Robinson-road, Rushden, said: “The body just viewed by the jury is that of my brother, Wm. Thos. Woolley, wheelwright, of 4 Rectory-road, Rushden. He was aged 51. He had not been ill recently as far as I am aware. He had never made any complaint and was a strong man, although he had lumbago twelve months ago. I saw him last a week ago to-day.” Mrs. Swan, of 4 Rectory-road, Rushden, said: “Deceased had lodged with me for six years. He was a single man and quite steady in his habits. He had never been ill whilst with me, and I should call him a strong man. He was in his usual health on Friday last, and came home at 6 p.m., when he had his tea. He went out to fetch the paper and came back almost immediately. He had bread and butter and cold beef for tea. He went to bed at from 9.30 to 10. p.m. and at about 3 a.m. I heard him moaning. I called to him. Aren’t you well? He said “No.” My husband got up and lit the fire, and deceased came down and complained of pain in his chest. He had a cup of hot water. When my husband got up at 6 a.m. I heard deceased tell him that he was a lot better. I got up at 6. 45 a.m. Deceased was sitting by the fire in the easy chair. He then seemed a lot better. He complained, however, that the pain was still there, and after having a piece of toast and a cup of tea he went to bed. He got up again at 10.30 went to the barber’s and the place where he worked. He came back about an hour later and he said he thought he had been stupid to go out. He went to bed and I gave him a hot bottle and some hot brandy and water. Shortly afterwards, I went up to the room, and he appeared to be dying. I undid his collar, but he died almost immediately. He had not complained of the pain in his chest before.” Dr. Greenfield said: On Saturday, I saw deceased, lying in bed, in a natural position. He had recently died. There were no signs of struggle or injury of any kind. He was apparently a strong, healthy man. I made a post mortem examination, and found he had a large and fatty heart, and one of the chief arteries of the heart was much thickened and partially choked. There was no valvular disease. In my opinion death was due to angina pectoris. The jury returned a verdict of Death by heart failure.
