COFFIN PROBE Police Quibble Over Evidence QUEBEC (CP)--The text of a tattered note found near the bear-ravaged bodies of three Pennsylvania hunters in 1953 may be completed today 'when Thomas Miller takes the stand at the royal commission into the Coffin murder case. Quebec Provincial Police wit- nesses testified Monday the note hadn't been considered import- ant. They believed it was a mes- sage left by one hunting party for another in the search that preceded the discovery, of the bodies Miller is a middle-aged Gaspe resident who helped find the three torn bodies near a forest where bears had dragged them. Examination later led, to the conclusion the men had been shot. Wilbert Coffin, 42 - year - old Gaspe prospector, was hanged in 1956 for the slaying of one of the hunters.
