At the resumption of the inquest on the Marshalls, whose remains were practically; cremated in a burning motor-car, an inspector admitted that the police at present heldythe theoij that- Marshall committed suicide in the motor-car. This theory was supported by the discovery of a revolver near where the, car was burnt, which had since been identified as having been bought by Marshall three days before the fatality, while cartridges which had apparently been filed to fit the revolver were found in Marshall’s house. Marshall’s body was found sitting up at the steering-wheel, while the position of Mrs. Marshall's body, 1 cumin o- towards her husband, supported the view ’that she did not attempt to escape from the car. A gunsmith gave evidence as to Marshall buying the . revolver. the latter was not anxious to get a certificate. He said he desired- the revolver in case of emergency on his lonely farm. . , The inquest was again adjourned.
