A SHILLING IN THE SLOT.
THE WELLINGTON MYSTERY EXPLAINED.
[PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.] WELLINGTON, Aug. 25. At the inquests concerning the deaths of Mary Ann Norman and Edward Marshall, whose bodies were found in a house in Walter Street, it was shown that death was caused by gas poisoning. They had apparently tried the tap of the burner to see if the gas was on and found that it was not and had then omitted to turn off the tap. Subsequently they had placed a shilling in the slot of the meter, and produced a supply, the fumes of which killed them.
