THE DEAN CASE.
Invercargill, May 29. The inquest concerning the death of the child Dorothy Carter was continued this morning. Detective Herbert deposed that when Charles Dean was shown the bodies of the two 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, a most material witness, was now engaged on a grave matter in Dunedin. ‘An adjournment was granted till Tuesday afternoon, by which time, it is expected, the inquest on the other child, Eva Hornsby, will have bean completed.
