er's inquest in the case of Mrs. jeremiah
Graney was opened again this afternoon
at one o'clock, pursuant to adjournment
The following are the names of the jury
men John H. Mills, John Dewitt, David
Black, Lyman Jones, E. h. Moss and
Etlinger, Summoned and sworn in but
not presently At the time of going to
press only one witness had been sworn,
that being Mrs. Julia A. Moore. The
substance of her testimony is as follows :
On Wednesday evening, 18th inst, after
1 had retired, I was aroused by a rapping
on the door. Upon getting upon and
opening it I first met deceased, who said
she had been directed to come to my
house by Mrs. Glue. I invited her to
enter, and she came in, after which we
went into the bedroom, and where l
again got into bed and she sat down on
the foot Of the same. 1 asked her what
she wished done. She said her husband
had thrown her down some steps and
somewhat injured her and caused a slight
hemorrhage that her husband drank and
gambled, and that she wished to return
TO the States in the spring, and tor
those reasons she wished an abortion
produced. Asked her how long she
was in a family-way, she said, about
four months; told her I did not wish to
do anything in the case. After talking
thus for ten or fifteen minutes Couldn't
say exactly how long) she was taken with
sudden violent twitchings and gripings,
and fell from the bed. I was greatly
frightened, and called for help, which soon
came. Some one at my request went for

to bleed her, but she was nearly dead, and

was not excitable, but was frightened
at that time; was of the opinion
that Mrs. Graney died in a fit, or
supposed that her death might have re-
suited by a sudden rush of blood to the
head, caused by sudden or violent excite

been summoned, and had yet to testify at
time of going to press: Thos. johnson, C.
HUMPHREYS, Mr.. Brandeberry and daugh-
ter. DR.. Weber, Jeremiah Graney. Larry
McGlnn, Mr.. Farley, and Mr.. Kelly. An
examination Of the contents of
the stomach was made by Mr.. Richard,
without finding anything which could
have caused death. so that it is impossible
that her death could have resulted from
medicine administered at the time of her
visit to the house of Mrs. Moore, or pre-
The testimony, so far as it had
gone when we came away, left the case
more inexplicable than before. Yet some
thing may come out which will clear away
the mystery.
