TilE FENIAN ASSASSINATION IN

BLOOMSBURY.

CORONER'S INQUEST-THIS DAY.

The adjourned inquest into the circumstances
connected with the assassination of Elwin ,'Don-
nell, on the 29th of September, was resumed to-
day at the University Hospital.
Notivithstaudhag the discharge of the accused
man, Groves, by the magistrate at Bow-street
police-court yesterday, the coroner proceeded with
his inquest, but the interest in the matter seemed
almost to have subsided. •

The cabman Frederick Helson, the man spoken to
by Bowler as the person who was with him when
Groves wished tofight with him, was the first person
examined. 'The witness, however, in his evidence,
said the man who wished to fight with Bowler
outside the Turk's Head was a person about 5f t. 10in
in height with a dark moustache.
The Coroner—Bowler said it was Groves that
wanted to fight with him ; be is certainly not a tall,
dark person.
Mr. Poland—Yes, that is so, and Bowler you
will find says that the man afterwards walked up
Southampton-row on leaving the Turk's 11ead,
whilst nelson says he got into a cab and drove
away.
Witness—Yes he did, and the cabman who drove
him away is here.
James Bush, cab-driver 4,670, said be drove the
gentleman, whose name was Howson, from the
Turk's Head on the night in question. Ile cer-
tainly was not a fair man, and he was quite certain
that he could not have been one of the persons who
foll Owed •M'Donnell and his companions on the
night of the murder.

John Wiggin said he was near Vernon-place on
the night of the murder. He saw a flish of fire
and then heard a report of fire-arms. Immediately
after that a tall man ran up the street, but he re-
traced his steps, and then he (witness) saw the
wounded man. In a very few minutes a great many
persons assembled near the spot. The witness gave
a confused version of what he saw on the night of
the murder near Vernon-place., but it was impossible
to discover, from his over particular description of
the matter, whether he really saw the man who it
WM Ouppowl And tho §liot M Alit or ifkotla

was not mistaking M'Donnell's friends for some of
the party. According to this witness's statement
there appeared to be more than an ordinary number
of persons walking up Southampton-row on the
night of the murder than on ordinary occasions.
His version differed so materially from the evidence
already received that it produced some hilarity in
the court.

The Coroner said it seemed to him that people
were cowing forwarl and swearing in the most
opposite directions. One wi!uess says there were
but one or two persons about Vernon-place on the
night of thz nmr,ler, and now we have it that there
were a great many.
_ _

Dennis 1-13aLT said he knew. Groves, and was
with him lrl the ca,ly part of the Friday evening
at the Turk's Head, but lie left him early. He had
known Groves about 10 months, but he was not
aware that he was in the habit of catrying'a dagger
iu his pocket. When he left, Groves 113 went
home, and nothing occurreday to that time worth
recollection.

Stephen; the witness, who met Furber running
up Southampton-row for assistanco, was next
examined, and nothing beyond that he has already
related in his evidence before the police magistrate
was elicited.

Inspector Garforth, of the E division of police,
repeated his evidence with respect to the steps be
had taken as to the evidence of Mrs. Jenman. lle
was alluding to the statement she had wade and
signed as true, when

Mrs. Jeuman, who was standing against the
witnesses at the further end of the room, in a loud
voice exclaimed that the statement the inspector had
now put in was an imperfect copy of that originally
made by her. She said she had been treated
throughout in the most shameful manner by the
police, and that the present proceeding of putting
in an untrue and imperfect copy of the information
She had given relative to the murder of U'Donnell
was only of a piece with all they had done to injure
her in every way.
An angry discussion then ensued between Mrs.
Jenman, the coroner, and jury, which was only
brought to an end by Dr. Lankester ordering Mrs.
Jenman to quit the room, which she refused to do,
but she remained quiet during the remainder of the
proceedings.

The Coroner then summed up the evidence, and
the jury, after about ten minutes' deliberation, re-
turned an open verdict, to the effect that the de-
ceased, Edwin M'Donnell, was wilfully murdered
by some person or persons unknown, and that the
jury were of opinion that the witness, Ann Maria
Jcninan, ought to be prosecuted for wilful and
corrupt perjury.
The proceedings then terminated.

As the woman Jenman was leaving the hospital
the crowd hissed and hooted at her in the most
vehement manner, and it was with great difficulty
that actual personal violence was prevented.
