There were many rumours, and a great dispute of doctors over the dead body. But the coroner's jury sat upon the corpse, and, like sensible men, returned an unassailable verdict of "Sudden Death."
Detective Ferguson recognized Kent as he passed up the room to the platform and gave him a slight bow and smile, but the smile had disappeared when, at the coroner's request, he told of his arrival just after the discovery of the burglar's identity. "I searched the cage where the prisoner had been seated and found this handkerchief," he went on to say.
This place is a vault, like those in which the dead are interred, and wherein the bodies of persons dying in the said prison are usually deposited till the coroner's inquest hath passed upon them; it has no chimney nor fireplace, nor any light but what comes over the door, or through a hole of about eight inches square.
And she, the witness, had answered, with some asperity for by that time the coroner's kind manner had put her at her ease that she had not attached any importance to what the girl had threatened to do, never believing that any young woman could be so silly as to drown herself for love! Vaguely Mrs.
A coroner's inquest easily ascertained the nature of a case which was transparent in all its circumstances, and never for a moment indecisive as regarded the medical symptoms. The poor young lady was transferred to the establishment for lunatics at Hoxton.
But the impression made by the gentleman's good looks had been too strong for this coroner's proverbial caution, and, handing over the slip of a note which had been found among Miss Challoner's effects by her father, he quietly asked: "Do you recognise the signature?" "Yes, it is mine." "Then you acknowledge yourself the author of these lines?" "Most certainly.
The others sat or stood about where they could find room all but six of them, whom the squire picked for his coroner's jury, and who backed themselves against the wall. The squire showed haste. He drove the preliminaries forward with a sort of tremulous insistence.
I have only to add, that the verdict at the Coroner's Inquest was Wilful Murder against some person, or persons, unknown. Mr. Ablewhite's family have offered a reward, and no effort has been left untried to discover the guilty persons. The man dressed like a mechanic has eluded all inquiries. The Indians have been traced.
Stillman smiled with the air of a man triumphant, but who still desired to show charity. "I shall be pleased to see you, sir," he said, "then or at any other time." It wanted a few minutes of three o'clock when Ashton-Kirk, still accompanied by the curious Pendleton, walked into the outer room of the coroner's suite. "Mr. Stillman will be here at any moment now," said Curran.
"You think she referred to the black limousine when she said, 'It's going to hit us'?" the foreman continued. "Yes." "Yet the coroner's verdict was that your brother-in-law was killed by a bullet, fired, apparently, from behind and above." I felt the weakness of my ground. "The bullet might have been fired from the automobile and ricochetted from some part of Mr. Felderson's machine."
