The Dean Murder Case.
♦ VERDICT OF WILFUL MURDER RETURNED. (PKB PRESS ASSOCIATION) Inyercabgill, June 4. At the inquest on the child Eva Hornsby medical evidence was to the effect that the appearances of the body were not inconsistent with suffocation by external means. The jury, after half an hour's retirement, returned a verdict that the child was wilfully murdered. The inquest on the Christ-church child, Dorothy Carter, was also completed. The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against Minnie Dean. Professor Black deposed that a quantity of opium had been recovered from the internal organs sufficient to cause death, and the medical evidence was to the effect that the post mortem conditions were consistent with death from opium poisoning.
