A Strange Suicide.

NO CLUE TO THE MAN’S IDENTITY.

[By Telegraph—Press Association.] Dunedin, last night. An inquest was held to-day on the body of an unknown man, found on the Cargill Cliffs. The medical evidence was that the body was that of a man from 30 to 35 years of age, sft Bin to sft lOin in height. His fingers indicated that he was not much accustomed to manual labor. There was a wound right through the skull, from left to right, as if from a bullet wound. There was nothing to indicate how the man died. The police, on removing the body, found a five-chambered revolver, four chambers of which were loaded. A watch and chain and a discolored shilling were found on the body. The jury returned a verdict that the depeased died from a self-inflicted wound, caused by a bullet discharged from a revolver. No clue has yet been found as to the man’s identity.
