School of Commerce B. F. WARD, E.A., M. Accts,, Principal Bean, met at Darlow this afternoon. Clown Attory Seager appeared for the crown, M G Cameron looked after ;the Bean family David Bean, the youngest son, de scribed his a seta ons on that night; and the only weak point in his case was in not being able to find the man who, he claims, drove him into town and out again Mrs Bean swore she heard the shots and that her eon came in just as the shots were fired, which would seem to clear the son of any suspicion if there had been any Several other witnesses were exam ined, but no clear evidence was given to east reflection on any one The inquest was adjourned until Wednesday, May 12, From the evi deuce taken today, there appears to be no further clue' to othe murderer Goderich, Ont., May 3.—Public in terest in the mysterious shooting of Robert Bean on Smith's Hill, wittier a half mile of hie farm, a week ago, has not abated. A second sitting of the Coroner's jury was held tonight. After taking the evidence of Doctors Gallotiv and Emerson, Coroner A. C. Hunter, at the instance of the police, enlarged the investigation until Wed nesday afternoon, in the Township Httll, Carlow. Crown Attorney Seager appeared for Crown At tonight's hearing Dr, W F. Gal low of Goderich, who made the post mortem examination, declared the victim had been shot at close quarters. The shut entered below the'ieft should er blade going directly upward through the body. Dr. Gallow said death, which was instantaneous, was due to a hemorrhage caused by the severing of vessels leading from the heart to the left lung. Dr. Emerson, who assisted in the autopsy, corrobor ated the report Intimation of Impending Arrest Added interest in the ease came to night when Provincial Inspector Re burn reticently intimated that he expects to make an arrest before long. He would not say how soon. Since the night of the tragedy the Inspector and High Constable Whiteside of Hen salt have interviewed acquaintances and members of deceased's family and a score of others who it was thought might throw some light upon the mys tory. The nature of recent develop ments at present occupying the atten lion of the authorities Inspector Re burn refused to divulge He had no further announcement for publication, save that some of the missing links in the chain of evidence are gradually being welded together. The gun with which the deed was coin mitted has not been recovered. So far the police have been unable to get any trace of the weapon Appearance of Premeditation According to the information glean ed by the police it would appear that the murder was premeditated. After the fatal shot had been fired, the cart in which Bean was driving home was nragged across a ditch and drawn alongside a fence. The absence of imprints of the horses hoofs in the mud has convinced the police that the murderer hauled the cart acmes the ditch after the old man had been thrown out in front of Colonel Varco's home Shorliciiii iIOSpikII to11i'I TOWN HTALL, CLINTON Under col.
