Baby Farming Cases.
Invercargill, May 29.
At the inquest in connection with the Dean baby fanning cases, Detective Herbert deposed that when Charles Dean was shown the bodies of the infants, just after they were dug up, he said “ My God, I suppose I’ll be brought into this. I know nothing about it.” Witness found in Minnie Dean’s bedroom, under the mirror, a bottle containing about half a teaspoonful of liquid labelled “ chlorodyne,” and also another bottle. These had been handed to Professor Black. The head of one infant when dug up was bent forward on the breast, and the back was curved.
Mr MacDonald, Crown Prosecutor, stated that Professor Black, the most material witness, was now engaged in a grave matter in Dunedin. An adjournment was granted till Tuesday afternoon, by which time it is expected that an inquest on the other child, Eva Hornsby, will have been completed.
