Jury-

Guildford, Jan. 26. WORLD driving champion, Mike Hawthorn, may have been going 80 miles an hour when his sports car skidded out of control last Thursday and carried the young British racing idol to his death, a coroner's inquest was told today.

A seven-man coroner's jury ruled that Hawthorn died an accidental death, The coroner said the "only indication of the cause of this accident" was "spec." The incues did itle to unrave! the mystery surrounding the circumstances of the netident.

Witnesses raid that Hawthorn was in ex- cellent health, and that the 3.4 litre Jaguar he was driving at the time of his death was In perfect mechanical condition.

AB the witnesses agreed that Hawthorn and his friend, former race driver, Rob Walker, who was following him at the time in a Mercedes, were both travelling very fast. Arthur Hil, a gardener who was standing at the door of a garage when they passed, estimated their, speed at about 80 miles an hour,

Walker himself, who said he way unable to give the exact spéid he was travelling at, fold the inquest that he was unable to account for Hawthorn's fotal skid. He added that Hawthorn had frequently gat of skids in the past at much higher speeds.

Ile said that Just before Hawthorn had overtaken him an exceptionally violent gust of wind had blown his own car nearly six feet off course. He did not, however, think this was the cause of Hawthorn's first skid.

A police officer sald the road-the Guildford by-pass, near London — was in good condition and that it was not rain. ing, although the surface of the road was wet. During the past two years, he said, there had been 15 accidents, two of them fatal at the same place.

Before the opening of the inquest, the coroner told the jury to forget everything that had been written about the accident in the press, which had suggested that Hawthorn and Walker were racing each other along the duni carriageway road, which runs from London to Portsmouth.-U.FI, and France-Presse.
