AN OPEN VERDICT

Saying that the police were un against a blank wall and that there deemed to have been a conspiracy of allence in regard to the cir cumstances that brought about a man's death, Mr. Ingleby Oddle, at Westminster, recorded an open verdict respecting Privato Arthur Paso, R.A.M.C., aged 28, who died In Millbank Military Hospital from hæmorrhage and fractured skull after, it was alleged, ho had been struck in the street in Bayswater on Sunday, June 3.

The inquest had been adjourned to enable the police to Investigate a statement which Private Fass undo three days before he died. In this deceased said, "I was out- side the Artesian Inn in Richmond Road about 10.5 p.a. on Sunday, Juno 3. While I stood talking to #ome of my friends I
