LONDON, Bth M, iy . When Patrick Mahon left the inquest, the crowd was hysterical with anger, and there was a wild rush at him. The police had to board a motor-car in order to^ force a way through. Hundreds of women raised a) howl, shrieking, "Vile wretch," "Brute," and "Cad." Mahon gazed on the crowd panic-stricken, and then pulled his coat over his fnce. Only pile voice was raised on his behalf when a woman cried loudly, "Poor chap! Be fan-. Be English !" It was an error of judgment on the part of the authorities to hold this inquest in the drawing-room of the bungalow.■ .'.:■■-. .
