his failing. There were to marks of violence. Caroline
Holloway, his wife, said he had had several epileptic fits,
but not lately, and had suffered from rheumatic fever.
We lived at Fordingtou, and he had been working at ,
Bourremoutio. I last saw him about six weeks ago, at
Feedlot/ton, whoa I went to the *tattoo to meet him
when he came to me on a visit. He was a painter by
trade. I saw him off at the Dorchester railway station
afterwards; he was going to his mother's, at Dudabury,
near Hamprestoo, sad had with him our Utile girl, who
was going to re her grandmother. He woutd go on
from there to Bournemouth to his work. We had been
married 15 years, and had six ohildreo. My husband
was given to drink sometimes, but when I last saw him
he wile sober. Oa Sunday weak !sat I received • letter
from hits, with a Poet.olloo order for 16a. He remitted
money to me regularly. He was a cheerful mu, and
very fond of the children. I reoeived a letter from my
husband's cousin to say an suoideot had happened, but
I did not know that Le waa dead till I got to Longhorn.
—Ths Coroner remarked that hls oouree was pretty
clear till be left the Eamon beerhonse, after which he
disappeared, and they next fouod him in • horrible state
of decomposition In the river. The great question was,
how came he into the water—whether by his own sot
or that of some other person. It was remarkable that
the foot-path was 60 yardi from that pert of the river
where decried was found. How rild he come there?
Oa that point there au great doubt. Than, &gala, the
articles he bad with him—the hat, the click, and the
boodle—none of them bad bun bond; and the body
was not In the current of the river, but where the water
wu circling ooutinually. It was a questoa whether the
lost thing, might not bo found somewhere in that eddy.
As for the coppers on the body, that was not of nob
moment; the balesioe, after larding then.. to hie wife,
might have knee expended In varier ways. There
were three or four possible solutlor. Be might have
lost his way, or gone into the water oa purp:s or been
polio by other people, or had a 111 and fallen into the
water. The tory returned • verdict to the effect that
deceased met his death orally and incidentally on
Sunday night, the 28. b of September, in coosequeoce of
losing his way in the fog, whereby he got into the river
and was drowned. He bee left a widow destitute with
Ice young ithildren. Ho was at one time in • respect-
able position in the towo, but became redacted through
drink. Ha wits buried on Tuesday.
