determine on the cause ard manner OF

pursuant 70 adjournment al the Cent-ai
guardhouse. 1t will be recollected that about
three weeks since the boy died in Blagden's
alley, between NJ and N streets north, ana
9Th and 10th streets west. and that there was
some suspicion that his death was caused by
taking poison in pills. In consequence Of the
law making no provision for The payment OF
a chemical analysis none was made. The
druggist who sold the pills was present with
MIR. Drury as his counsel, and announced his
readiness TO answer any questions, and those
OF the jury present expressed their belief thai
no guilt should attach To him. He had sold
the pills about a month previously TO some OF
the people IN the alley to cure the chilis, AMI
he asserts positively there was nothing IN
them but Quinine. After some time tor the
absent Jurors Coroner Woodward after TAX
ing the advice OF District Attorney Darlington
and Judge Fisher, dismissed the jurors with
out day.
