An inquest was held yesterday morn
ing by Coroners Charters and Newton
over the remains OF Captain William j.

in yesterdays Issue. The jury was COM
posed Of Messrs. Enoch Capps. j. V.
Moore. j. Il. Wilson. j. l.. Nash, j. G.
Bow and l.. L. G. Manning.
The evidence introduced did not de-
velop a single fact beyond those un-
earthed in The Nirginans investigation
of the night before. and already pub
lished, the testimony being identical
with the same. In the absence of any
positive proof a verdict was returned to
the effect that the deceased came to his
death by poisoning from gas, and the
opinion of the jury was also advanced
that ii was not Il case of suicide.
The body was turned over to an un-
dertaker for embalming. and was ship
