The verdict given is as follows: We, the jury found that Florence Loretta Cook came to her death as the result of a gunshot wound accidently inflicted by herself. We believe her death to be accidental. The eight witnesses who testified all stated that there was nothing in the actions of Miss Cook, that would lead one to believe she would take her own life.
