THE AUCKLAND MYSTERY.
CAUSE OP DEATH. (Pee United Press Association.) AUCKLAND, June 29. The adjourned inquest relating to tho sudden death of the young woman Elsio Holland at the residence of Mrs o:Shaughnessey in Kingsland was resumed to-day. Dr Milson, who was associated with Dr Bull in conducting a post mortem examination of the body, gave tho detailed result of the examination. On the evidence present he was of opinion that the cause of death was septicaemia, arising from an attempt to perform an illegal operation. Tho deceased's mouth contained perchloride of mercury—a virulent poison—but there was no trace of poison in the stomach. He was, therefore, sure that death had not resulted from that agency. II o considered that tho poison was placed in her mouth immediately before orafter death, and he was inclined to the opinion that it was put in after death.
