THE SUICIDE AT MOUNT EDEN.

CORONER'S INQUEST.

At 2.30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Dr. Philson and a jury of six held an inquiry into the facts connected with the melan choly death of Mr Fenhoulefc, on Saturday last. Constable Dewes was presQnb on behalf of the police.

Dr. Mackellav was the first witness called. He deposed that at 10.30 o'clock on Saturday night he was summoned to attend the deceased. He arrived at the deceased's residence about live minutes before 11 o'clock. He found that Mr Fen houlefc was already dead. The body was lying on its back on the floor of the room. The°coat had been removed, otherwise the body was fully clothed. On his neck was a blood-stained' cloth. There was a large quantity of blood on the floor. The cloth ing was also saturated with blood. TlTe right arm was extended, and the left was folded across his chest. The body was then warm. Both hands were empty. Upon removing the cloth he found a large incised wound extending from the loft side of the neck below the angle of the lower jaw, to a little below the middle line in front. The wound was about 3or 4 inches in length. The direction was mainly transverse. The skin and muscles , to that extent were entirely divided. The left internal jujjular vein was opened, the thyroid cartilage was freely cut into, and the larynx was laid open. He was shown a razor covered with blood, which was cap able of having inflicted the wound. The position of the wound pointed to the pre sumption of suicide. The effect of such a wound would be a great loss of blood and syncope. Death would not be immediate. Witness had known deceased since last April, having attended him for typhoid fever. At that timeho was living at Parnell. Mr Fenoulhofc was ill rather more than a month, and was considerably reduced. At night he wandered somewhat, but had not any wild delirium. His convalescence was very slow. He ultimately regained physical strength. Since that timo witness had re peatedly seen deceased, but not profes sionally until last Thursday. He noticed that deceased was depressed and un settled. He should say that deceased was a man of an anxious, nervous tem perament, easily elated, and soon depressed. He was an exceptionally steady man, not given to drink. He was a bad sleeper. Last Thursday witness was called to see Mr Feuhoulet. He found him very depressed. Witness visited deceased at his wife's re quest. He seemed to have lost interest in himself. The appetite was also irregular. Witne?s did not then detect any suicidal tendency. At the timo lie asked Mrs Fen houlefc, and she said that he had not made any suicidal remark. Deceased's anxiety seemed to be due mainly to his being unable to obtain employment. This caused him disappointment. Witness ad vised deceased to travel to try and get em ployment, as he considered that was the real cause of his condition. Deceased con versed quite rationally, although somewhat mechanically. So strongly did ho suspect that the deceased was not quite safe that he expressed fear to a friend of Mr Fcn houlet's that if he went to Sydney ho might jump overboard. He did not believe that the deceased was in a sound state of mind when he committed the act. Deceased had become possessed of strange fancies. Having read books on mesmerism, he was under the idea that people had power over him. The cause of death was hemorrhage from a wound made while in an unsound state of mind. Edward Phillips Turner deposed that he was a surveyor by occupation. On Satur day last he was in company of deceased. Had known him for the last nine months. Witness came round to cheer him up, know ing that he was in a depressed state of mind. Deceased conversed with witness about going to Burmah, and advised him not to go, as spiritualism was much practised there. They alsj spoke upon the advantages of the Christian religion over Agnosticism. Deceased said that the Book of Ecclesiasres was ironical. Witness was positive that de ceased's mind was unsettled. He had a

nasty vacant stare, and remarked to witness that he was reading his mind. About a month ago, when talking about suicide, the deceased argued entirely against it. Wit ness had said that in some eases he thought suicide was justified. (Coroner : "Rather a dangerous doctrine, that.") The deceased condemned the theory, and convinced witness that it way wrong. On Saturday they took tea together. De ceased was depressed and ate mechanically, and seemed to be thinking about something else all the time. About 7 o'clock Mr Carey Pirio came in. They then played cards in order to occupy Mr Fenhoulet's mind, but he seemed to take no interest in the game. About a quarter past nine the deceased brought in anengineeringdrawing, which he explained to Mr Pirie. Deceased remarked more than once during the after noon and evening that he did not feel well. . Deceased again left the room to look for some other drawings. After being away a few minutes Mrs Fenhouleb went to call him. Deceased said that he would bo in directly. After about 8 minutes Mrs Fen houleb again wen tout. She called to him and tried to open the door of the bedroom, bub could not. She came and asked witness to go and look where her husband was. Wit ness took a candle and went to the door. He pushed hard, and got it open. Upon entering the room he saw deceased lying on his back on the floor with his throat cub, and gasping for breath. Witness called Mr Pirie to come, and prevent Mrs Fenhoulet from entering the room. Witness went to Mr Shirley Hill's, who telephoned for a medical man. Witness and Mr P. Dufaur returned to the house. They found Mr Fenhouleb still alive. They propped up his head with a pillow, and tried to stop the bleeding. The deceased expired about ten minutes afterwards. Witness saw a razor on the_ floor between deceased's left arm and his side. Witness believed that deceased was lying down when he committed the act, as he heard no fall, and deceased's feet wore pressed against the door. Drs. Girdler and Mackellar arrived about ten minutes after animation had ceased.

Mrs Constance Elizabeth Fenoulhet, widow of deceased, deposed that her hus band was aged 30 years. He was a mechanical engineer, and had been in the colony about 1\ years. Usually, he enjoyed good health, but last April he had an attack of typhoid fever, from which he recovered pretty well, but there had since been great depression in hie spirits. It was caused by want of employ ment ; that was his only trouble. On the whole, her husband slept very well, but he complained lately of not having felt rested when he did sleep. She noticed that during the last few days her hus band had been very absent - minded. She never heard him talk about making away with himself. He was very fond of the children. There was no insanity in her husband's family. Her husband was not in want of money. He had lent money, and had not had it returned.

Constable Dewes deposed to searching the body and the various articles which he found upon it. This concluded the evi dence, The jury, after a few minutes' de liberation, returned a verdict, •' That the deceased, Howell . Fenoulhet, committed the rash act while in a state of temporary insanity."

CORRESPONDENCE.

GARBAGE IN GULLIES.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —Kindly allow me again to call atten tion to a crying evil, not only connived by the authorities, but even due to the ex ample of those excellent bygienisbs. My father loveth whom be chastoneth, no doubt think the " City Fathers " when they pollute the air by converting the gulloys into garbage hoape; whilst, follow ing their blind guides, it Ss now common for children to be sent to these public dust bins with all manner of household refuse, which the parents, had they an atom of good sense, would burn. < We find people ready enough to complain of tho loss of health through the proximity of gullies, and of the wrong inflicted on society by the eoi-dimnt guardians of its safety making sew er-tanks of those unfor tunate holes ; yet where is fch'o difference be tween accusers and accused 1 Do they not ceem to vie with one another how most effectually to foul the common nssb, vainly thinking, maybe, the injury brought about by their , ignoranoe or selfishness ia nob shared by themselves? Allow bw, Jww".

ever, to say that although the unfortunates whose noses are above these pestilential pits may be more immediately ..concerned, the public generally do not escape scathless. The smell is only the outward and visible sign of the noxious gases passing into our lungs in the place of the oxygen that nature ordains. Flies, too, carry the dew of death trom human flower to flower, and those they mil to inoculate are withered by the microzyms, miasms and dust carried by the winds. Such are the main sources of our common diseases, and when not the first cause, constitute the straw that breaks tho camel s back. , . Our closet system likewise demands at tention. Once a week at least should the boxos be emptied, whilst a mixture ot lime and earth might be served out as a dis infectant. I will now conclude by urgently recom mending—lst, that everyone burn their rubbish ; 2nd, that the authorities cause to be covered with clay the noxious ac cumulations around. Then, possibly, our friends in black will cease reminding ua that in the midst of life we arc in death.— Your humble servant, Tom Dvrevx. Upper Union-street, Auckland.

THANKS.

(To the Editor.)

Sib,—l hope you will permit me through your columns to offer my grateful acknow ledgments to tho editorial of the entire Auckland press for the noble appeal made on my behalf through the columns of their respective journals since the destruction of my worldly all by that disastrous fire on the night of the 17th rJt. in Upper Queen street. Ido likewise sincerely thank those few friends that came to my aid, especially tho following, viz. :—E. W. Burton, Esq., solicitor ; T.B. Hill, Esq., chemist; Hamil ton Bros., chemists ; Professor Aldis, W. Duncan, Esq., Mrs E. Browning, of Ensora, and all other sympathisers. I received from all sources the'sum of £5 9s.—Yours grate fully, Jas. H. M. Hctghbs, Gardener.

IMPORTED MACHINERY.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—Would not the Industrial Association be doing a good and legitimate work if they impressed upon the different governing bodies, such as tho Harbour Board, City Council and others, tho necessity of buying any machinery they require in the colony, if it is possible to do so ? I think there are engineers in Auckland alone who _ would soon have workshops capable of turning out any machinery of this class if they were only encouraged. I saw a report a few days ago of some machinery being imported for a local waterworks. Surely some of our en gineers could do work of this kind.—Yours, etc., Fobwabd.

HE~FOLLOVVING TESTIMONIALS Show the Utility of LAMB'S PATENT PORRIDGE MEAL. Auckland, June 14,1557. Jolm Lamb. Esq. Doar Sir,—lt has been on my mind for some time now to drop you a line about your Patent Porridge Meal. I believe you are aware I have butiered considerably from,injury to thestomach from tea-tasting, and having consulted my medical adviser, he strongly recommended Porridge for breakfast, which I have taken until I heard of your Patent Porridge Meal. I may here say the Oatmeal soon caused unplea santness, sourness of tho stomach, and pimples and spots, with irritation, on the surfaco of the body. From this I was glad to get away, and at once took to your Patent Porridge Meal. With it I find nono of the irregularities com plained of above, but a most palatable Porridge, and the whole system free from unpleasantness or irritation. 1 can strongly recommend it. and certainly think you should do a large trade in such an excellent article.—Yours very truly, (Signed) FREDK. WHITEHEAD. Industrial School, Kohimarama, Auckland. Juno 2, 1887. Mr John Lamb. Sir,—We have now been using your Patent Porridge Steal at this school for two months, and I consider it but right to inform you that wo all (staff as well as boys) like it so well that I would flnd it a diiUcult matter to get them to return to using oatmeal. It is without a doubt a splendid article of diet. I may add on my representing to the Education Department in Wellington that I was using your Patent Por ridge Meal instead of Oatmeal, I received authority from Rev. Mr Habens, Secretary for Education, to continue its use in the school. —Yours faithfully, (Signed) GEORGE P. HOGAN, Manager. Ponson Auckland Ma 30,1887. Mr John Lamb Dear Sir,—X think it a duty to let you know results of your Patont Porridge Mα! on our youngest boy. lie was weakly, and refused every food preparation that cou d bo got. but upon getting some of yours ho took to it at once, and afterwarde nothing would satisfy iiijn but this porridge. Five or six times a day is not too much for him, and soeing it being prepared cried until ho got it. He is now strong and i healthy, and can eat auytliing.
