After death the coroner’s jury was empanelled by Dr Dodds, and a verdict of death by hanging rendered.  The hair of the deceased was cut off one side of both head and face.  All the buttons torn off the coat, the moccasins removed from the feet, and even the suspenders cut into pieces for persons to obtain mementos of the deceased.  He was placed in a plain deal coffin to await the plans of the Government as to interment.  His own wish was to be buried at St. Boniface, and his friends are particularly anxious that his wishes in this respect be complied with, as his father and other friends repose in that place, as all the bodies of the convicts here have been stolen from the burying ground in less than a week.
