Tb en woman replied promptly and firmly that
- nothing about it, that it was as strange

an a;shis Thought the glass case of the metallic
coffin she added
.sYn know, MASTER if had wanted TO do

Gw questions were then asked by the
,antlemen present, but nothing satisfactory

a,.u,;ned apart The boy was asked if he
~ ,ot been seen stirring up the components

ah . something else Ann being asked,
acknowledged that she had told Harry to stir
the dish.
No impressions were made upon the gen.
tlemen present at this examination confirma-
tory ofthe suspicion which has attached to
tbose accused The affair is still enveloped
IN protound mystery. To add to the painful
uncertainty, we learn that portions of the
Charlotte Russo, which were subjected to the
most careful chemical anlysis of an old and
exner;enced chemist of this city, have been
pronounced by him free from arsenic. On
the other hand, the careful and thorough an
alysis of the viscera of the deceased boy, and
of the cake which composed part of the con-
lection. by Professor Crawcour, develope the
existence Of arsenic in both. 1t is that Pro-
lessor c. admits that the arsenic in the cake
might have absorbed from the jelly, but it does
not appear that he has analysed the latter.
It is quite important to ascertain decisively
whether the cake or the jelly contained the
poison. 1t may be that the investigation has
taken the wrong direction, and that the poison
was contained in some Of the components
of the cake instead of the jelly. 1t appears,
too, that champagne wine was used in the
of the Charlotte Russo, and is pos
sible that it may have contained the poison.
The case is one Of great interest," not only in
its relations to criminal justice, but as inyol-
wing perhaps important facts in regard to arti-
cles commonly used in the preparation of fan
cy viands and CONNECTIONS.
