TnE coronor, who is conducting the Windsor murder inquest, received :m anonymous letter, ostensibly written by a woman, threatening if the inquiry was not conducted in an impartial manner it would be the worse for him, and also stating un attempt would be made on the life of the coroner in open Court. At the conclusion of the evidence, Mr Lyle, the prisoner's counsel, intimated that he would not set up any defence at the present stage.
