At the inquest on Hugh Trevanion, Campbell, a Swansea jeweller, admitted that the story ho told the police about, Roe was untrue. He was drunk at the time. The storywas not disclosed. The coroner, in sumnrng up, pointed out that. Roe's influence over deceased was in some respects for good. There was evidence Roe had a powerful motive for desiring death, and his conduct was open to suspicion, but the coroner failed to sec that there was any evidence of foul play. On the contrary, it, was very difficult to see how a large dose could be administered without deceased consenting., Very likely the explantion was suicide. A verdict was returned that there was no evidence to show how the poison was administered. The jury opinion that ver-1 onal should be on the poison schedule.
