INQUEST VERDICT OF SUICIDE- AND MURDER.
MR. BRUNNER OF UNSOUND "MIND AT THE TIME
A copy to hand of the Daily Telegraph gives fuller particulars of the distressing circumstances under which Mr. and Mrs. Roscoe Brunner were found dead at their Putney residence. The event was a nounced at the time in a Reuter telegram.
At the inquest conducted in Wands- worth Baths by Mr. Ingleby Oddie, Sir John Brunner identified the bodies as those of his brother and sister-in-law. Mr. Roscoe Brunner, he said, was 53 yeara of age and a director of public companies. Brunner were married in 1888 Airs. Brunner was 19. She and M. Mr. Roscoe Brunner was chairman of Brun- ner, Mond's from 1918 until this year, when he vacated the chair and was suc- ceeded by Sir Alfred Moad.
The Coroner: The vacating of the chair would be, I suppose, at the request of the board of director?
Sir John: Yes.
And for a good reason, I dare say i Yes, it was stated at the annual moct ing of the company that it was on account of his poor health.
And, was there any other reason There were serious business troubles.
For which he, as chairman. I take it, had to take responsibility-Yes, he had to take the responsibility.
