THE TRAGEDY IN YORKSHIRE.—On Monday an
inquest was held on the body of the man Smith, who,
after murdering Sarah and Emma, his two daughters, com-
mitted suicide, as already reported in our columns. The
evidence showed that about two years ago deceased threat-
ened to kill himself in consequence of the conduct of his
wife. Shortly after, she was taken to the asylum, where
she had been confined ever since. During that time he
and his children have managed the household affairs. There
were three children and the father, all of whom slept in one
bed. The house was wretchedly furnished. The evidence
of the manager at Messrs. Crossley's was that no more
orderly man entered the works. The neighbours of deceased
spoke of him as a quiet sober man. A verdict of Wilful
Murder was returned against the deceased, but as to his
y was corn-
state of mind there was no evidence.
