MYSTERIOUS DEATH AT NAPIER.
[United Press Association.] NAPIER, Wednesday. The inquest on Alice Caroline Simpson, a young married woman who died suddenly about three weeks ago, was resumed yesterday, when the report of the Colonial Analyst on the contents of the Jrtomach wa's availably. The Analyst found minute traces of a strong blistering irritant, but too small to identify. He suggested that it might be cantharidin. Further evidence failed to elicit any information as to how the poison came to be taken by the deceased, as she was partly an invalid and there was nothing of a poisonous nature about the house. The jury found that death was due to inflammation accelerated by some irritant, but how obtained thero was no evidence to show.
