C.H. Riggins Died From Natural Causes, Coroner Kight Says After Inquest

Coroner Kight held an autopsy yesterday afternoon over the remains of C.H. 
Riggins, who died in jail Tuesday night after being committed for thirty days 
by Police Justice Simmons. The autopsy showed that the dead man died from 
purely natural causes, the immediate cause being Bright’s Disease.
In view of this fact it is not expected that the brother of the deceased will 
sue the city as he indicated he would, before the autopsy. It was shown by 
Coroner Kight that though the man did die suddenly his death could not have 
been the result of neglect on the part of the jailers.
The funeral of Riggins will take place at Smith’s Funeral Apartments this 
morning and the interment will be in Elmwood Cemetery (sic Cedar Grove).
