At the inquest, which was held by
Coroner William d. Gibson, the coro-

apart. They could not have been in
flicted by the discharge of two barrels
simultaneously"
According to the story told by Simp-

with the gun in his lap. Mr.. Horner
sat opposite reading. Suddenly the
gun was discharged, the contents strik-

son entered the kitchen. He had a gun
with him. The servant meantime had
come into an adjoining room with me-.
HE said to my husband, L will clean

the report. Indeed, it vas only a few
moments after he made the remark
about cleaning the gun that the TRACE

1t is said Simpson feared his father
in-law would leave him nothing in the
new will on account Of his d~issipated
habits.
