CHINESE DIES OF STRANGULATION
'AUCKLAND, Tuesday.
A Chinese, Sue Bin, of Wairoa, is believed by a pathologist to have died of slow strangulation: ,When his body was found it was twisted into a gro- tesque, unnatural position. .
The pathologist gave evidence at the inquest that where the victim was slowly strangled the body often assumed an almost physically impos- sible- attitude.
An open verdict of death by strangulation was returned.

.James Shangton Sam Chinese Doctor - He applied something externally, and gave something , to be taken internally. The medicine m the bottle was the same as that applied,'externally, but something else was given internally. The Chinaman said he, would charge £1 Is, but he did- not say he. was a doctor. The child was bad before the Chinaman came, and continued, so. The dose was given at six o'clock on. Friday evening, and she died at three o'clock on Saturday afternoon, very quietly. There were no convulsions. The vomiting and diarrhoea .continued till the time of death. The parents did not call m a doctor, because they had faith m the Chinaman, as ; they heard he had cured a child suffer-jng from the same complaint. The woman, m. her, evidence, said. that the nurse, a Mrs Storm, told her to use a teasthingyful of magnesia, three times a day and one drop of chlorodyne twice . a day.
