SUPPOSED POISONING OF A HUS- BAND AT CARNARVON. On Monday last, before Mr J. H. Roberta, dis- trict coroner, and a jury, an inquest was held on the body of John Parry, 45, a barber and hair- dresser, of Carnarvon, who died very suddenly on Monday evening.—Jane Parry, wife of the deceased, said that her husband had of late suffered from an asthmatic [complaint, and that when he came home from the shop on Saturday evening he complained of being ill. She made a cup ot tea for him, which he took, and they then went to bed, this being between eleven and twelve o'clock. She was out about ten o'clock on that night for about an hour. When she returned she found him in the house with the child, and as soon as she came in he began complaining of being unwell. On Sunday he was much better, and on Monday he felt so well that he went out. He im- mediately returned, however, and getting worse, had to be placed in bed about half-past twelve. About four o'clock she went to call a doctor in, and Dr Griffith arrived at about seven o'clock, and was present when the deceased died. Mrs Wil- liams, a neighbour, came in about seven o'clock, afld remained till the deceased died. Deceased was insured foe £ 10.—Mrs Margaret Williams, was insured or £ 10.—Mrs Margaret Williams, the woman referred to above, said she heard the previous witness crying at the door on Monday evening, and that she (witness) went in. Having gone into the house she found that the deceased was in a dying state, and asked hi1 wife if she had sent for a doctor. She answered in tbe affirmative, and a medical man shortly afterwards came in. Witness remained in the house till deceased died. He did not appear to be in any pain, neither did he complain of any pain in the bowels. Imme- diately on her arrival at the house, the deceased said, "That man hasbeen the cause of my death." Witness thereupon asked deceased's wife who he meant, and she replied, Oh, he means the boy that we have reared.After this evidence the' jury decided to adjourn in order to view the body. Having re-assembled Mrs Williams was further examined. She sa'd that when she went to the house the deceased's wife asked deceased if she should put a pillow under his head, when he re- plied, "No, villain, I want to be left alone now, only Jesus Christ and myself together,P.C. John Pritchard said he had been acquainted with deceased for years. Deceased had complained to him about his wife. He had asked witness to watch her, as he was rather i ealous of her. He mentioned a particular man's name as the one he suspected.-Dr G. R. Griffith said he had attended on deceased several times during the last two years. He suffered from consumption. He saw him a few minutes before be died. The symptoms were con- sistent with ordinary phthisis and delirium, cr they might be consistent with death from poison- ing, but he had no reason to believe that he had been poisoned. He had signed a certificate of death, in which he stated the cause of death to be phthisis.—A Juror (to the witness): Did you see the corpse after death ?—Witness: N 0.- The Juror: I think you ought to see it. The bowels have swelled immensely and the face is discoloured. —Witness: That is nothing at all unusual in a case of phthisis -The jury, after a short conaultan tion. decided to have a post-mortem 'examination of the body, and the inquest was therefore adjourned.
