The inquest touching the death near Waita huna of the miner Bradford, whose mate, Waddell, is under arrest on a charge of murder, will be resumed to-day. The Tuapeks Times states that the isolated character of the party's claim and Bradford's regular and unobtrusive habits have possibly prevented the forthcoming of the usual clue by the aid of which the police are generally able to run their quarry to earth. Meantime, Waddell is silent as the grave on the terrible subject; he has made no admissions and is not likely to do so. At any time he is not a' man of a very communicative turn, and his present position is not likely to improve his dis position in that respect. At the same time, he does not apear to be very deeply impressed, and does not certainly deport himself like one guilty of the crime with which he is charged.
