Several letters were later found, one to his wife, one to Mr. Lowe, the proprietor of the Hotel, and three to various people.
Opening some of the letters, the Coroner said they revealed that there' seemed to have been some misunderstanding between the de- ceased and his employers, whom he Deceased accused of deception, appeared to be under the impres- sion that he had not been fairly dealt with.

Mr. H. O. Davies, a clerk in the Government service, said he was o resident at the Hotel on August 3. He occupied Room No. 16 and about 11.30 p.m. he heard someone in Room No. 17. Later he heard somebody walking on the verandah. He fell asleep between 2 and 2.30

It was very doubtful whether de- cessod was in a normal state of mind, and he (the Coroner) thought he was justified in assum- ing that the deceased was not. He would therefore return a verdict of "Suicide whilst of unsound mind."
