THE ADAIR INQUEST IN NEWARK.

The inquest touching the death OF Jeanette
Adair the young woman who was found dead at
her lodgings in South Bridge street, Newark
under peculiar circumstances, was continued by
Coroner Mum yesterday afternoon at the Newark
Court House. Quite q crowd OF persons were
present. drawn by depraved desire to hear and
gloat over the grossly indecent and disgust
ing chapter OF evidence which, it was
expected, would be brought out. Charles
Holzhauer, Emma Sampson, Mary Shafrer,
DR.. Dodd and John ]. Youngblood were
severaly placed on the stand. Dr.. Dodd. who is
County Physician, gave the most important testi-
mony. lie had taken the stomach TO make an an
alytica examination OF It, He did so in company
with DR.. Ill, Jr., and Mr.. Beck. They found min
eral poison in the stomach no arsenic as at first
supposed, but indications OF vegetable pOisons.
His opinion was that
DEATH WAS CAUSED
by vegetable poison. Violent vomiting, with q
weak stomach, void OF nutriment, might cause
death, but he did not think it did SO in this case.
Some Oil OF tansy was found in Jeannette's house.
1t was declared the mixture was put
about compounding medicines-probably the girl
herself in trying, perhaps, to produce abortion.
The evidence given by YOungDloOd who resides
at No. 178 Camden street, Brooklyn, and who was
formerly intimate with the deceased girl, was OF q
most indecent and disgusting character, revealing
o state OF immortality on the part Of Jeanette.
himself and others most shameful and unfit for
publication. At halfpast six O'Clock the inquest
was adjourned till to-day.
