Suicide or Murder.

Coroner—You say that the deceased, in your judgment, committed suicide? Witness—There can be no doubt of it. Coroner—Why, he was seen to enter a restaurant, and was apparently well an hour ago. Do you think he took arsenic ? Witness—No; he deliberately entered a railroad restaurant and ate half of a mince-pie. Coroner—The jury will render a verdict of willful suicide. — Newman Independent.
