Witness heard where she was. Sbe went at once to fetch her back, not believing she was dud. ' The Corooer said the singular part of the case was that the doomed should have threatened to commit suicide, and then be found dead in the manner she bad been. The impression convoyed by the letter wee that she had been intimated ; after the evidence, however, there could be no doubt that the deceased had sot taken any poison.
