(By Telegraph.) IN VEROABGILL, Mar 29. The inquest on the body of the infant found buried at Dean's residence at Win^ ton, 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 m Minnie Dean s bedroom, under the mirror, a botble containing about half a teaspobnful of liquid labelled " chlorodyne " and another "Neil's Cholera." These had been handed to Professor Black. The head of the infant when dug up was bent forward on the breast, the feet lying forward and. the back, curved. The body straightened out soon after it was dug up. No one tried to fit the body into the box, which m his opinion would hold both bodies. Mr McDonald, Crown Prosecutor,, stated that Professor Black, a most material witness, was now engaged on a grave matter m Dunedin,and an adjournment was granted till Tuesday afternoon, by which time it is expected that the inquest on the other child Eva Hornsby will be completed.
