TESTIMONY OF NJ, C. EyERTs.
Was sent for yesterday morning and
told that Mr.. Hale had been found dead
in the bushes north of Mineral street
went out into the bushas, north of the ice
house where people were assembled, there
was a large number, perhaps thirty or
forty Messrs Cain and Marshall of the
civil authority were there when I arrived
and the persons who found the body the
boay was in rather a thick swamp, where
person standing could be seen but q
short distance the body had been turned
over upon the back, by Mr.. Cain, as was
informed ; it appeared to have been at
the tins Of death in a standing position,
and to have fallen directly forward
among the weeds and bushes to the north,
upon it's face there was a large wound
on the left side of the face and throat ;
the large vein seemed to have been sever
| ed by the wound both hands were
| bloody, aud a largo pool of blood where
the head and throat came in contact with
the ground saw 10 marks of violence
other than this one cut, and no blood ex-
cept where the head and neck had lain ;
there WIS nothing to indicate violence in
Aicted by any one else than himself On
consultation with Messrs. Cain and Mar
shall we concluded it was so clear case
Of -uicide that it was not necessary to
hold AN investigation. but from subse-
nuont facts which came out on Sunday, it
WAS deemed necessary to hold an exami-
nation and put the facts in a legal form !;
nv opinion formed in the first instance is
the same now ! think it clear case of
suicide.
