Hyndman, wife of the noted Socialist leader, who died the other day, was the subject of an inquest, which was opened to-day. The evidence showed that she had completed a book on her husband's life three days prior to her death. A doctor who was summoned when Mrs. Hyndman was found unconscious stated that he treated her for narcotic poisoning.
