Eilverson'i story As Adjournment Had for Further Wit. BNHI Mrs. Matthew Lynch, grandmother and Bridget Lynch, mother of Robert Lynch are under arrest on suspicion of foul play in connection with the death of their ight months old child. They were placed under arrest late Saturday afternoon on the coroner's as the coroner's jury empanelled to hold an investigation into the child's death, considered there was sufficient evdence to take this step and secure the mother and grandmother pending jthe finding of a verdict The Jury began its enquiry in Rogers' morgue at two o'clock Saturday There was some delay in beginning the inquest as Coroner Mark owing to the. importance of the case was anxious to procure a full Jury of sixteen before opening the evidence.

Fifteen Jurymen were obtained and with that number the inquest proceeded. Chief of Police Powell conducted the examination of witnesses In a most satisfactory manner. Detective Hat-ton was seated beside him. The Jury after being sworn In examined the remains as tbey lay in the yard adjoining the morgue in a tiny coffin. The body was but slightly decomposed.

The pillow, was covered with blood that had flowed from a cut on the left Mde of the head. Blood surrounded the child's mouth and nose. It was a sickening sight. Mrs. Elizabeth Sllverson of 672 St, Patrick st.

was the first witness. She remembered the 30th of last September. There were loud noises and voices in the Lynch house. Sadie Lynch asked her to come into Lynch's as her mother was hurt and wanted her to dress a wound in her mother's head. The Child was Bleeding.

Bridget Lynch came to the door and said to witness, God, Mrs. Lynch thy child is murdered!" Blood was streaming from the child's head as she held it in her arms. Bridget Lynch was also bleeding from a cut on her forehead and blood was streaming down her face. As Bridget Lynoh held the child In her arms witness said she thought the child was dead. The child was only unconscious.

There was a large blue mart on the left side of the child's Mrs. Sllverson at this stare of the evidence viewed the body. Returning to the Jury room she said she identified the child and recognized the same blow on the child's head. The cut ran from the. top of the head behind the ear to the forehead.

It was semi-cir cular in shape. There was no one in the house but the mother and grandmother of the child. The. mother smelt strongly of liquor. An hour after witness' first visit she entered the house The mother held the child on her knee.

The child was too weak to partake of food. The grandmother was crying. Witness told them to put the child In the cradle as It, was dying and they should let it die in peace. Witness called again about 5.30. Sadie told her that the mother and grandmo ther bad gone to bed and had left her to mind baby, Sadie said they had put butter on the baby's head which they said would soon make the child better.

The Child Died. Mrs. Lynch came into the At 6.30 house and told Mrs. Sllverson that the child was dying. She accompanied Mrs.

Lynch back Into the house. The child died two minutes after they entered the house. The child drew two long breaths and expired. The Doctor Called. A doctor was called in.

She did not know his name. He did not examine the child. There was a cloth over the child's head. The doctor did not lift the cloth to look at the child's head. The doctor asked If the child died with convulsions.

The mother said it had. Witness said the child was always healthy and never had convulsions. She did not ask the doctor to examine the child, because the Lynchs were dangerous people, and she did not like to Interfere. Mrs. Sarazin, the landlady, who was there when the doctor was present, did not say anything to the doctor either.

Witness said she expressed the opinion to Mrs. Sarazln that the child was murdered. Mrs. Sarazln said: "Yes, but I don't want a murder to be reported in my house." An Arrest Ordered. Chief of Police 'Powell at'th close of Mrs.

Sllverson's evidence, intimated that it was important that the grandmother and mother of the child should be put in custody, if in the opinion of the Jury the evidence so far taken pointed to them as the parties responsible for the child's death. This move should be taken at once to prevent the possibility of their. escape. Coroner Mark agreed that this should be done, and the Jurymen were unanimously of th same opinion. The coroner then signed the warrants.

Before adjourning the Inquest the Jury thought that the evidence of Dr. Chevrler, who examined the child after death, should be heard. Dr. Chevrier during the examination of Mrs. Silver-son had been placed.

In the witnesses' roorh. by himself. When Constable Hollingsworth went to bring him Into the Jury room he found the doctor had disappeared. It was supposed he had pone home, as his carriage had also gone. The Inquest Adjourned.

As there were no other witnesses ready it was decided to adjourn the inquest until this evening at 7.30. Detective Hatton immediately after the adjournment went to St. Patrick street and had the grandmother and mother arrested at their home. They were brought to th police station shortly after four o'clock. They took their arrest very much to heart.

THE LATE EDWARD GRIFFIN An Old ana Respected BaBiniti Man Oons to his Beit One of the pleasantest faces to be seen on the streets of Ottawa disappeared from public view about a year ago, when Ed. Griffin became unable to leave his room in the Russell. lie had been a resident of the city from a yonug" man, having come here fifty-two years ago. Bytown was then a very small place, and Mr. Griffin had been sent from Montreal to take charge of the first considerable hardware store in the town, which opened out in the identical building still occupied by the ilrm of Workman and Co.

Mr. Griffin was long a patner In the business; and was a general favorite, his goodly nature and genial manners being a remarkable trait in his character. The late Alexander Workman was his partner, and the firm was always a satisfactory one In Its dealings with the public and especially so with the lumbermen, who obtained their supplies largely from the Rld-eau street firm, as the most extensive in the Ottawa district and having close connection with the Montreal house of Fotherinrham and Workman. From 1S44 to 18C8 Mr. Griffin continued a partner In the firm, retiring at that tlm with a competence and not entering Into business afterwards.

Mr. Griffin was born In Llsburn, Ireland, in 1817, and was thus in his 80th year. He has lived at the Russell with his wife for several years, and passed away at his rooms in that hosterly last evening after a somewhat lengthy period of failing health, re-pected by all who knew him. Griffin had no family, Mrs. Grlffin.who mourns the loss of an affectionate husband, being the only relative in Ottawa.

THE BRONSONS OBJECT PROTEST AGAINST THE TAIL RACE AS A SEWAGE OUTLET A formal tetter Bent to the City Council by theFlrm-The Ground Taksn-A Kolsanc Cannot bs Avoided with Bach a Lot of Sew ago Emptying into it This morning City Clerk Henderson received the following letter from the Bronsons and Weston Lumber Co. It speaks for itself: Gentlemen We understand that the drainage scheme proposed by Messrs. Keefer and Davey has been adopted by the council and that a by-law has been prepared for submission to the electors for raising the necessary funds for carrying out the same.

We Aid that It is proposed to collect the sewage from a very large area of the undralned portion of the city of Ottawa and discharge the same into the outfall of the waterworks aqueduct; in other words, to throw the whole ef this sewage upon that property belonging to us which is krown as the Gully Property, the waters of which flow into the Ottawa liver, and are used by us for our ship-. ping business. We have carefully considered this drainage scheme and after having given it our best attention it seems to us that this large body of sewage will contaminate the waters of the gully and the surrounding property to such an extent as to- become a nuisance tothe neighborhood. We therefore urge that it be disposed of through some other outlet not open to the above objections. We urge this with the more confidence because we understand that such, an outlet can be obtained without difficulty and at not very great increase in cost.

Yours truly. The Bronsons and Weston Lumber Co. (Limited) per E. H. Bronson.
