SCENE AT A FUNERAL.
POLICE KEEP ORDER. [By Electric Telegraph—Copyright] Times and Sydney Sun Services. (Received 8.0 a.m.) London, May 11. There, was an unusual demonstration at the funeral at Newport of Mrs Edith Jordan, who died from oxalic acid poisoning. The verdict at the inquest was suicide while temporarily insane. The evidence disclosed the fact that the deceased had a dispute with her husband on the day of her death, and these had been frequent previously. Crowds of women and girls gathered at the house and jeered and hissed the husband while following the hearse. The police kept order at the graveside, but on returning, the crowd hooted and throw stones and mud.
