Messrs. Hairy Montajue Webb (foreman), James Spencer Duff, and George Banker were empanelled.

The Coroner (Mr. H. H. J. Gompertz) charged the jury to disabuse their minds of anything they might have reat or heard concerning the case, and to base their finding upon the evi- dence only.

Mre Uma, Shuster, widow of the deceased, was the first witness, and said that she last saw

her bashaud alive on Tuesday, the 2nd instant,

at half past nine at night. They left the Metro- pole otel together and got into the tram to

go home. After about ten minutes the Iram

stopped. Her husband was quarrelling with sailors so she left the car and sought a ricksha.

He did not call the attention of the police to the blood upon the pavement; neither did he

hear anyone else,do so..

Albert Frank Smith, also an Inspector in the Train Co. corroborated the evidence of inspec-

lor Mattos. Deceased was unconscious for

about two minutes after he fell and then com- menced groaning. Witness knew deceased and told him when he came in the car that they were not going to Quarry Bay. Deceased said "Never mind." Witness thought Shuster had

At 135 am. Da that day the red signal drum was hoist d indicating that there was a typhoon to the castward of the Colony, the centre of which was believed to be 307 miles away from here, ' At 4.54 p.m. on the same day a red cone, point downwards, replaced the red drum, indicated typhoon to the southward of the Colony.

Sergeant Lee deposed to being on duly at No. 2 Pulice Station when the Tram Inspeca

lor Mattos reported to him that a man was lying dead drink on - Praya East. He accompanied Mattos, who told him that deceased bad fallen from the rand way on to the pavement. He found the de- ceased lying in an unconscious state. Witness described the man's wounds, and added that the knee of his trousers showed a cut, appar emly the result of a fall. Assisted by two Indian Police Constables he put deceased in a ricksha and took him to the Police Station and washed the wound on his head. He smelt strongly of liquor and was breathing heavily.

At 8.15 am. he went to the cell again with the intention of letting him out; when he found the deceased in a very hot and the Tramway Co., said that on the day in ques-reported the matter to the Inspector and the Lao King San, a conductor, in the employ of feverish state and breathing irregularly.

As he did not put in an appearance she went to her mother's house at the Race-course. She never saw her husband again alive. She did not know why he refused to leave the car with her. There was no fighting between deceased and only had two glasses of beer at the Metropole Hotel. About four o'clock in the afternoon he had one glass of whisky and soda. She was with him the whole af ernoon and to her know ledge this was all be had to drinks.

On Tuesday at 11.40.a.m. it was reported that the barometer had risen all over Japan and fallen over south China and the Philippines, and the red come remained hoisted.

Deceased was talking to three seamen, but he could not say whether their conversation was amicable or not. He saw the deceased leave the tram, but did not see him fall or stumble.
