London, Jan. 28.-The coroner'i
jury has found that Whitaker Wright
was sane.
There is however not the slightest
doubt that his death was due to a
most deliberately planned suicide.
From the evidence, it was shown
that Wright had determined to take
his own life in the event of an adverse
verdict.
The testimony showed that he went
into court with a cyanide tabloid in
his possession, while in his pocket
was a new revolver fully loaded and
cooked ready for use in case the tab
lOid failed to accomplish the desired
result.
When he went to the Iavatory he
swallowed the tabloid and at the
same time remarked, "This is British
justice. "
