BUCKS. WHISPERS
BY ROUNDABOUT

That the accommodation at the small room of the Greyhound Inn, Tathall End, in which Mr. E. T. Worley conducted the inquest relative to the Hanslope Tragedy on Monday, was fully taxed.

That there were about as many Press representatives as jurymen present.

That when Farrow's gun was being passed round for the inspection of the Jury, the Coroner enquired somewhat anxiously whether the Police had made sure that it was empty.

That one of the jurymen was observed to place the barrel of the gun in his mouth and to demonstrate how the deceased gamekeeper could have reached the trigger to fire it when he committed suicide.

That a man would want more than an average length of arm to accomplish the operation without the aid of a stick or string.
