Coroner's "If My Boy Had Died.

"I am putting myself in your place.

If my boy had died in these cir cumstances I should feel I was not happy until the thing had been cleared up."

With these words, Mr. G. Wills Taylor, the Reigate coroner, recently adjourned for another month the re- sumed inquest on Norman Herbert Wyeth, 18-years-old bank clerk, who, was found dead in his room at Redhill on July 25 with enough cyanide of potassium in his pockets to have killed 80 people.

Mr. Taylor added that he was not satisfied he had heard all the facts,

A brother, Erle John Wyeth, an analytical and research chemist, saki he saw the youth when he re- turned from a holiday at 11.30 p.m. on July 24. He found him dead next morning with the cyanide of potas- stum in his pocket.

Definitely not?--Definitely.

Mr. Taylor then handed him piece of paper and said: I under- stand you took that to the police yesterday? Yes, after my father had found it in waste-paper basket yesterday morning.

Is that your brother's handwriting? -Yes. Yes.

Mr. Taylor then remarked that the word cyanide was written twice, and nsked if he knew why his brother would have written it. Wyeth re- plied that his brother was interested in gardening. He might have noted the name down as a weed killer.
