An inquest whs held on Monday by Mr A. S. Laird, District Coroner, at Taumarviui, on the bodies of the two victims of the Taum-irunui tragedy, Hina Bell, the young halt-caste, and Annie Tli(;;;i;s-:. the lialf-faste yirl ! wlkmv, -H( I! nii.r.:v;T<i bcTjvc committing i-uicide hnnseif. I Wai Raugi, twn of .Messrs Hatrick'p men, whs ihe iirsi witness. He had been walking with Hina Bell on >Snuday morning about half an hour before the tragedy occurred. Bell seemed theu upset about Annie Thomas (the deceased girl) having been to a dance at iUamniui on the Friday night, although he had tried to prevent her going. He. asked witness what he knew about what had happened there, and said he would make trouble about it, and that lie (witness) would bear of it. He aIHO said lie did not care what happened to him. Mr J. Harris, mauager of the HatI rick river boats, said that lie found one razor besme Bell and another beside Miss Thomas, some 25 paces away When he came to the body of tho girl he put Jiis hand on her face, and found it to ne still warm. Tliere was no sound of a scuille. He saw nobody else in the neighbourhood. Tho ground was covered with biood. Mr Bell again called attention to the fact that no scream had been heard by the last witness, although lie was so near. Mr A. Bell, sonr., paid he knew very little about the affair. He hail been talking io his sou pretty sharply iv the morning, as he often did on Sunday mornings when urging his fhiniiy to go to church; hut there was iio quarrel to spoak of. The only reason he kmnv for his son being somewhat upset in mind was tho girl going to the" dance against his wishes. Miss Thomas, sister of the deceased, said that on Sunday morning about twoivo o'clock Mr 801 l and his sou Hina were quarrelling, and she and her Bister (deceased) went to pacify them. Her sister told Hiua not to touch his father. He theu struck her, but she puiled him nut and they went down the paddock together. That was the lust" she saw of them. Annie, the deceased, had told her about her quarrr.l with Hina and tier giving him back tlio engagement i'ing, which he trampled on. She did not, think it likely that her si.stor would commit puicirio, Constable Mahe.r was emphatic in his opinion that the wounds on tho girl were not self-inflicted. To the foreman: Hina Beli was a littie wild, but was not a criminal. He had a violent temper and was very exciteablo. Tim jury retired, and after some ten minutes brought in a verdict to tho effect that Annie Thomas hart met her death by having her throat cut by Hina Bell, but that in the opinion of the jury both deeds had been committed in & fit of temporary insanity. Tho Coroner said he quite concurred in the verdict. YOU NEED TONING UP.
