Inquiring last month into the death of Edith Mary Farkin, the little daughter of a local farmer, a Bodmin (Cornwall), coroner's jury found that
she had been murdered by some per- ron unknown. They also expressed dissatisfaction with the manner in which the dead gil's father and the aunt of Charles Juleff, who had been charged од suspicion of having careed the girl's death, had given their evidenco,
The child's mutilated body was found in a plantation near her bome one June 16. Juleff, who was er. ployed on the farm, was present at the inquest. John Parkin, father of the girl, said in answer to Julefi's solicitor, that an inmate of the adjacent nayluni often visited his farm and had been aesisting Juleff in making $ summer bouse.
The inmate used to bring witness's little girl Bowers. It occurred to him at ose time that he was getting too friendly. He did not complain at the time, though he now felt be ought to have doze. The day before the murder accused hit his nose with a chair, and it drew blood.
Edith Juleff, aunt of Charles Juleff, said accusd weat nut to feed the kittens before the little girl left for school in the morning.

She could not say what occupied all bis time before the little girl left for school, Lut she remembered what he was doing afterwards. She did not remember telling the police-sergeant on the evening of the crime that Accused left the bouse to feed the kittens at the same time as Mary left for school, nor did she remember say ing that he did not know what he was doing afterwards or where he was. Questioned by Mr. Square, for accused, witacee esid she had been naked dozens of questions by maty people and she had admitted making mistakes to the police.
