The inquest was continued yesterday after-
noon. The brother Of the deceased was exam
ined; we have given his testimony subetan-
TALLY above. Other witnesses testified regard
ing the affair, snd the inqueet was adjourned
until Wednesday morning. Noquestions were
asked of the young lady previous to her death,
with regard TO the affair, and the outside testi-

originator of the deed. There is, however, a
clue out Of which something may be worked

vault at Mount Hope. The seducer of the
young lady resides at Seneca Falls, and is
known TO her brother. The verdict Of the lury
will probably be given on Wednesday morn
ing, by which time, ii is hoped, new facts will
be developed.
