Next week the HERALD will present the

THE CORoNER'S INQUEST.
Finding i'll the Case over the Re-

ceased.

The boucs of Emile Girardin were
brought down from the hills last Sun
day, Judge Mareljus, Barney Kcmpfer
and Pat Sweeney going after them, and
on Mon1ay afternoon began the in
quest which lasted till 3 p. m. of Tues
day. 1t was held before Judge Mare
Illus, acting coroner, with a jury com
posed of Frank kcmpfer, J. A. Wilson,
Edw. Williams, Hugh White, ChaS.

bolt. The investigation was very
searching, but resulted in producing lit
tie or nothing not contained in the
HERALD Of last week. Attorney Rich
ard Bennett wrote the evidence and did
much of the questioning.
The fragments of the declaration of
intention to become a citizen, which
the HERALD had forwarded to the Butte
court was returned fully identified, with
a certified copy thereof under the seal of
Clinton {. Clark clerk of said court.
The original had been examined by a
powerful glass with the result of learn.
ing that it was issued on the LIST of May,
1886, to Emile GiraIdin, ~ years. old
and a native Of Switzerland.
This information was received on
Monday and was turned in with the
testimony of the editor of the HERALD
who had been a personal acquaintance
of the deceased. No positive evidence
appears as to the time the deceased left
Ncihart, but it seems by comparison of
notes that it must have been about Ju-
iy |, '93. Along with the bones was
found a large jack knife and razor, both
we'll destroyed with corroding rust.
The razor handle had warped all ont of
shape, but it appeared as if the razor
had been open. This led to the suppo-
sltion by many of a case of suicide, but
in III" absence Of convincing proof the
jury found that Emile Girardin came to
his death by causes unknown.
The HERALD has been greatly praised
for its thorough investigation and
prompt presentation of the facts in this
case.
