THE GLENBROOK MYSTERY.
THE INQUEST ON WELLER.
*«■ Aaoebtioa-ByTelegnph-Ooivii^iV Sydney, December 7. The inquest on Weller is adjourned till to-morrow. The medical examination discloses a heavy revolver bullet flattened against the right side of the skull. It had entered just below the left ear and pierced the brain. Death must have been instantaneous. The shot had evidently been fired at a short range. The evidence in the Extradition Court disclosed no new facts of importance, but clearly established Butler's connection with Preston and Weller, and the fact of his shipping at Newcastle for San Francisco. While at Newcastle he exhibited a quantify of jewellery, believed to be Weller's. His luggage included a revolver and a plentiful supply of ammunition. The Court granted a warrant to arrest Butler for the murder of Preston and Weller. Detective Roche has left, armed with the necessary papers to obtain Butler's extradition.
