YESTERDAY'S FATALITY.
+ INQUEST FORMALLY OPENED. An inquest was opened by the District Coroner, Mr H. A. Young, at Hamilton, to-day, into the death of Maurice Ansell, who was killed yesterday in a motor accident. After formal identification of the body, the inquiry was adjourned sine die. THE LOADED REVOLVER. MYSTERY SOLVED. The mystery of the loaded revolver found in the rear of the taxi-car driven by Mr Joseph Ball, which crashed into and killed the young cyclist, Maurice Ansell, at Hamilton, yesterday, has been solved. The police have ascertained that the weapon was left in the car the previous day by a young bank clerk who used the car while transhipping money from one branch to another. The revolver somehow found its way down between the upholstery at the rear of the seat and the clerk was quite at a loss as to where it had disappeared until the police discovered it yesterday. »
