Extract from the Gazette, 1737
Printed in The Pennsylvania Gazette, June 23, 1737.

The Coroners Inquest on the Body of the young Man, mentioned, in our last, found that his Death was occasioned by the burning Spirits thrown on him, but that, as far as it appeared to them by the Evidence they had, the Throwing those Spirits on him was accidental. ’Tis said however that since the Inquest, farther Evidence has been given to the Magistrates, that it was a voluntary Action.
