THE DUNEDIN MYSTERY.
(By Telegraph,—Press Association),
Duneoin, Monday. The, inquest on the man-.Robert Brockio was resumed this afternoon Edward King, the man who bid the row with Brockie, appeared at tho inquest and surrendered himself to the police, his counsel stating that as soon as the man had learnt of the death of Brockio ho returned to town. He had intended giving evidence, but as a warrant was out for his arrest-, counsel advised him not to do so at tho present stage, The evidence showed that Brockie had gono to a house occupied by two women named Scott and Nowey to see King. It appears from the evidence of one witness that an argument ensued, and Brockie became quarrelsome, and eventually was taken outside, but fell on the asphalt, and afterwards fell a second time. A broken glass bottle with blood on it was found where he fell. The jury returned a verdict that Brockie came t'j his death by injuries received oil Mrs Scott's premises, but that there .was not sulliciont evidence to show by whom tho injuries were caused. King is still in custody on a charge of unlawfully wounding.
