shot and killed by his playmate and companion,Charles Edelman,Thursday 
afternoon, will be laid to rest.The funeral willoccur from the home of the 
dead boy's parents,291 Water street.
Coroner Finley investigated the case fully yesterday morning and became 
convinced that the death of the Loewig boy was the result of a deplorable 
accident.He accordingly announced that no inquest was necessary and young 
Edelman was released from the City Jail,where he had been confined to await 
the action of the coroner.
The Edelman boy is heartbroken over the affair.When he was released he was 
taken at once to his home at 281 Water street by his father.The two boys had 
been the best of friends and playmates for years.
"I know it was an accident," said Edelman's father,yesterday,"but the thought 
of it almost kills the boy's mother and me."
