ne family 81 M. Hamblin. IRE mother /
Of Miss ". had, with some 81 her friends /
sndeavored II get possession sc her per.
son and had caused certain publications
e appear IN small paper, gotten up, i |
would appear for that special purpose.
The publication had been for some time
kept from the persual Of the unfortunate
girl, but getting at last into her hands, it
had the effect Of driving her mads ia
which melancholy state she died. At
request Of Mr.. HambIin, a Coroner's ia.
ny went into thorough investigation Of all
the circumstances Of the case; the result
Of which is stated in the following ver-
dict:
s ssThat the deceased, Miss Missouri,
came to her death by inflammation Of the
brain, caused by great mental excitement,
induced jointly BIZ the violent conduct of her
mother and the pHbi alton Of an 0busiUe
article IN The P0LyGatbOS."
We have since seen one of the Jurors,
who informs US that the verdict was the
unanimous opinion Of the inquest, and
that the examination ELECTED nothing in the
slightest degree eliminating the conduct
ofthe persons who had the poor girl m
charge; but that on the contrary, the
treatment of Mr.. and Mrs. Hamblin was
kind and tender towards the victim; that
she died in the arms OF Mrs. H., who had
done every thing in her power to soothe
and alleviate the suferings of the young
woman, and LEFT her not even in death.
DR.. Francis and another respectable pro.
fessional man made post mortem exa-
mination ofthe brain Of the deceased, and
it was upon their testimony, corroborated
by the circumstances of the case, that
the verdict of the jury Of inquest was
founded.
