NELSON POISONING CASE.
DECEASED’S HUSBAND \ CENSURED.
[Press Association.]
NELSON, Dec. 22. Tlio inquest on Gertrude Agnes Good, wife of Robert Good, pork butcher, who died on Wednesday as tlie result of strycliinine poisoning, was concluded to-day. The jury returned a verdict that deceased met her death as the result of poison apparently self-administered during a temporary fit of insanity, the result of domestic unhappiness. The medical evidence showed the deceased to have been free from malformation or structural defect. The jury has no reason to believe that any dread of the result of confinement or the delicate condition of the deceased .alone would have induced the committal of the unfortunate act. The jury thinks the husband of deceased deserving of very severe censure for his treatment of his wife.
