â€" CROWN REQUESTS ADJOURNMENT _ â€"OF LOBINSKI MURDER INQUEST Occupied the Platiorm. The Coroner, Dr. Glaister, conductâ€" ed the proceedings with decorum, ocâ€" cupying the centre of the platform. At the table on his right was | Mr. ,'w. M. Reade, K. C., who performed "the duties of Crown _ Attorney _ and questioned all of the witnesses . very minutely. At the coroner‘s left were seated Detective Boyd of the Provinâ€" _cial department, who took notes â€" of the important fcatures of the evidâ€", ence, and High Constable Huber, who‘ was the master of ceremoni¢s. To the right of the coroncr‘s table \\'asl the stenographer‘s desk and directly in front a chair facing the coroner which was occupied by the witncsses, their backs being toward the _ audiâ€" ence. The jurymen also occupied seats on the stage at the rear of the .corâ€" oner and the side. Excellent accomâ€" modation was also provided for the press representatives, a long table having been placed in the *orchestra pit," the Berlin, Toronto, London, and local newspapers being representâ€" ‘The evidence was largely given by the neighbors who discovered the body and inspected the surroundings, and the two physicians who conducted the postâ€"mortem examination. The imâ€" portart features in connection with the evidence submitted . were _ that sleighâ€"bells were heard by the nearest neighbor to the murdered man _ or Wednesday evening between 8 and $ o‘clock and it is surmised that the team was driven by the murderers. 1t was also stated that the entire wealth of the deceased man was about $1200 in cash, and the property he lived on. That he occasionally loaned _ money to parties, and that he kept his gold in a little tin box which was producâ€" ed in the court which amounted . to $130. It was also stated that Loâ€" binski gencrally carried about _ $180 in bills in his pocket. There was somewhat of a sensation when Ludy Lcis informed the Coroner that Lobinski had come over to his place and told him that he had heer visited by three Berlin young | men giving their names as Nowak and two Dietrich boys who wanted _ to _ loan money from him for the purpose _ oi purchasing a hotel in Bamberg, but he turned the request. Nowak, sworn, said he had been told about a year and a hali ago by his father that Lobinski was his godfather. He had never met him or seen him until he had gone out with the Dictrich brothers to _ Lobinski‘s place and he met them outside. They did not get out of the rig at all, but shookhands. Eight weeks ago _ thes passed by again and had a short con versation, but there was noâ€" mention made of purchasing the . hotel nor borrowing any meney tiat time. Noâ€" wak denied the â€" storv that he ever thought of buying a hotel in Bamâ€" berg. Dr. Marty, of New Hamburg, and Pr. McEachern, of Linwood, conâ€" Aucted the postâ€"mertem examination of the body of the murdeted man, and both physicians were agreed that death was due to the vicious . blows inflicted by the hammer â€" which â€" was found shortly after the murder _ was discovered. _ The body was in a healthy condition and there were . no marks â€" of â€" violence outside of the bruises in the skull three ofi which went through to the brain (From a Staff Correspondent.) ‘ellesley, Jan. 18. â€"aiter hearing evidence of about fiiteen witnesses the inquest of the death of Franz LobinSki at his shack some time durâ€" ing last Wednesday night the Crown, 'h(gn was ably represented by | Mr. W.
