FEW FACTS REVEALED BY INQUEST
CPKBSS ASSOCIATION TILIGIAU.I WELLINGTON, March 22. An inquest to-day threw little light on the death of Margaret Elsie Coleman, aged 21, who was killed at the Petone railway station last Thursday. It appears that she got off the train, looked round as if uncertain what station shd was at, and got on .again. There was nothing to show how she came to be between the carriages. She may have dropped her bag. She was dragged 150 yds, being caught by a shoe and then run over by four carriages. A verdict of accidental death through falling off a moving train was' returned.
