OPEN VERDICT RETURNED. (Received 9.25 a.m.) London ,February 11. At the inquest on Trevanion, Camp bell, a Swansea jeweller, admitted that the story he told the police about Roc was untrue. He was drunk at the time. The story was not disclosed to the Coroner, who, summing up. pointed out that Roe’s influence on deceased was in some respects for good. There was the evidence -that Roe had a powerful motive in desiring the death, and his conduct was open to. suspicion. The Coroner failed tc see there was evidence of foul play on. the contrary, it was difficult to see how large a dose could have been administered without deceased consenting. Very likely the explanation was suicide. The verdict returned was that there was no evidence to show how' the poison w'as administered, and the jury were of opinion that veronal should be scheduled as a poison.
