Witnesses who appeared be- fore the probe conducted by Coroner Dr. J. L. Poirier were E. Ambrust, of Homer; Traffic Officers Don. Huffman and Orval Rupp, both of Niagara Falls. Provincial Officer T. E. Pearson and Dr. D. V. Currey said the cause of death was a frac- tured skull. OfIICer Huffman gave expert evidence as to what might have caused Smith’s motorcycle to suddenly veer off the road, advanc~ ing the theory that Smith’s foot may have been caught beneath a bar which connects the sidecar to the machine.
