Mrs. Edith REES, cook to the staff at the Emporium, stated that she last saw Miss ELLIS at 10.40 on Monday evening. She seemed quite herself. She frequently took baths, sometimes in the evening and at other times in the morning. She had not been to well for some time. Mr. Griffith William DAVIES, J.P., proprietor of the Emporium, said that Miss ELLIS had been in the employ about five years, and was engaged as showromm millinery saleswoman. On Tuesday Mrs. REES told him that Miss ELLIS was not in her bedroom and had not come to breakfast. Witness went to describe how he and others burst open the bathroom door and found Miss ELLIS. She was completely covered with water. The tap was still running and water was running out through the overflow. She was undressed.  Dr. Arthur Hywel RICHARDS said that judging by the condition of the body, he had no doubt that the girl suffered from heart trouble.
