A morbia crowd gathered around the town hall to see the white coffin which contained the body, carried into the hall, and as two men lifted the cof- fin through the door, hats were ra moved and' tears in the eyes _ of many. The crowd waited til the post mortem was concluded, and then they jam- med into the hall and filled it to capacity for the inquest Proceedings. Dr. G. H.

Several witnesses were heard corroborated each .other as to seeing a hat, rain coat and satchel in the office of Dr. Robinson on the night 'of Miss Yorke's diegppearance, and the description they gave of the rain coat and hat corresponded with the des- eription given by one witness, Miss Agnes Walsh, who was with Miss Yorke early on the night she disap- peared. who The Remains Interred. ¢ Another sad chapter of the case ike wild fire, was'added to-day when the remains of Miss Yorke were interred in the Me. thodist church burying ground, owing to the fact that the body was so bad- ly decomposed, it was not taken "to the family residence. TheChurial ser- vice will be held in the Methodist church Friday morning, by Rev. J. Barnes, pastor of the Methodist church, Discovery Of The Body. Witnesses were called who told the ghastly story of the finding of the body of the missing young woman, and the babe, hidden in the cellar of Dr. Robinson, and of the finding of the pieces of bone in the furnace, partly burned The pieces of bone were shown to the members of the jury at one stage of the proceedings, One of the brothers of Miss Yorke sat near the coroner throughout all the hearing of the case and listened [very attentively to all the evidence given. Men who made the search of Dr. Robinson's house told their story of the finding of blood stains on & bed, which was seized by a bailiff, and of the unearthing of a bag in the furnace room which contained blood-stained pieces of gauze, ~sheet- ing and oil cloth. All the witnesses were asked to identify the body, and while they would not swear positive ly that it was the body of Miss Yorke they stated that they felt sure that it was the body of the missing girl. Up until the time of adjourn- ment at the night session none of the relatives 'of 'Miss Yorke had been call- ed to testify or to identify the body. They will, no doubt, be called later The finding of the body and all the cirenmstances of the case has caused the higgtst sensation that Tamworth, usually so quiet and law-abiding =» community, has ever had. Word of the dead body being found and all day to-day every tongue in the town was busy discussing the case. Practically no work is being done.

High Consthble Nankougnet was the first witness, and told of summoning of the jury, Bruce Richardson, barber, Tam- worth, was called to the stand by LCoroner Lowan. He told of being at Dr. Robinson's residence on Tuesday afternoon of this week, about four o'clock, with FP. F. Carseallen; the bailii, and J. Taylor, furniture deal- er, of Tamworth. The bailiff made the visit to the house for the purpose of making a seizure of goods Taylor had sold Dr. Robinson. The two Yorke boys, Samuel and Edward, were not present when the search of the house was first made, but arrived later, nye : . . . Fhe witness first described the visit which was made to what is known as the "south bedroom." In this room, he said, the carpet had been pulled up ofi the floor and Ahrown into a cor ner, Mr. Taylor Tooked at the bed, and noticed that a new mattress was missing. As he glanced over the bed he was shocked to find what looked to lm like blood stains on the iron rail on one sidetof the bed. On the floor, -under the bed, he saw what ap- peared to him to be blood stains. The meinbers of the searching party then had their suspicions aroused and con- tinued the searth. Going from the bed room to the clothes closet they found a laundry bag which contained a bath towel, soaked with blood. At this stage, the searchers stopped theirs work, and notified the Yorke brothers Witness took the boys to the house The discovery of the body was made later, | J. Taylor, undertaker and furniture j dealer, Tamworth, knew Dr. Robinson and said that - the doctor purchased jsome furniture from him. Owing to the doctor's prolonged absence from the town, he had endeavored to get | the money due for the sale, or get the | furniture back. He went with the jbalii and Bruce Richardson to Dx Robinson's house. "In looking over the bed," added the witness, "I noticed that the mat- j hues on it was - missing. 1 said to with me, 'Boys, this looks those Queer." * "1 then noticed that the rug had been rolled up and placed in the cor- ner of the room. 1 raised the springs {on the bed and saw what looked like |G STAT of blood on one "Side ofthe bed railing, I drew : the attention of {the others with me. I then took the { Springs off the bed and looked on the {floor under the bed. There were {spots of blood on, the floor, and it {looked as if some person had endeav- jored to wipe up some blood. | said, | 'Boys, this looks bad. My curiosity was then aroused." Ai Witness then told of finding the clothes bag which contained a gen- tleman's pink night gown, which was soiled with what looked like blood stains. Two handkerchiefs and a towel were also found in the bag, which algo had stains, Witness af. terwards looked in the distern but found nothing else, and then took possession of all his goods, and had them taken out of his house: to his gtore. Witness viewed the body and, ask- ed by the corner, stated that he had not the slightest doubt but that it was that of Miss Yorke. There was a chance, however, that he might be wrong. V ian Asked to deseribe the body and where it was located the witness said the head was covered with about three inches of earth and . cinders, and the limbs were about four in ches under the surface. Parts of both limbs were cut off, the right about four inches below the knee and the left. about nine or ten inches below the knee. or The finding of two rings on the body was related by the witness. The coroner ' has the rings in his pos- session. John O'Brien, employed as an as- sistant by Mr. Taylor, also gave evi- dence concerning the search made at Dr. Robinson's house. Story Of The Autopsy. Prof. W. T. Connell, bacteriologist of Queen's university, who conducted the autopsy on the body, assisted by Dr. H. W. Wilson, ¢f Tamworth, presented his written report. The body, he said, was that of a woman, aged about thirty, and four feet eight inches in height. As to the condi- tion 'of the body he would say that it gave every appearance of ' being the body of a person who had been dead and buried three weeks. The right limb had been cut off midway between the knee and the ankle, and the left had been severed about three inches below the knee. There was no evidence of marks or bruises on the body. Death had been caused by hemorrhage. The child had een prematurely born. He would say that death had been caused by loss of blood, brought on by an im- proper or illegal operation. Dr. HL W. Wilson - corroborated the evidence of Prof. Connell as to | the finding of the autopsy. Hé told the coroner that on one occa- sion' Miss Yorke had secured medi- cine from him for stomach trouble. Witness was one who went through Dr. Robinson's house, and .he dis- cribed the finding of the body, the blood stains on the wall, and the bag with the blood-stained pieces of gauze. 0 He told of the finding of the pieces of bone in the furnace. lady's shoe, and purse found in the furnace. This concluded the taking of evi dence up till six p. m., an adjourn- ment being made then until 7.30 p. m. =. The Inquest Resumed. Miss Agnes Walsh, Tamworth, was the first" witness called when the in- quest was resumed at 7.30.

Miss Yorke had told her that on the following day she intended Lo return to the home of the witness and resumé her work of dressmaking. "Miss Yorke did not act peculiar or strange," "said the witness, in answer to a question put by a juryman. She added that Miss Yorke told her she was 'going to the office of Dr. Robin- son to get some medicine. On the night she was missed Miss Yorke wore a tan hat, and a fawn ramcoat.
