AIRS. Lloyd to have I'M examination, she said
what's the use; the child. is dead now, ;
and that "alf the Lloyd family had died II,
the same way"
Here the posi- norton was entered into by

10 question by juror: Stomach docs no,
eNmoiC evidence Of CONGESTION. There Is
great congestion Of the omentunl, Before
f'oSt n'o.ten thought it died of congestion
OF the stomach.
DR.. William Cross testified; I have seen
nothing IN my examination of the viceIa to
| make me think there was sufficient infIa,nma.
ton or engagement to cause death. In arii.
c"to morris, or about the period Of life be
coming extinct. the blood may pass from the
irrltated yiccrl, leaving il blanched, or In
that state that would indicate no inflamma-
ton having existed. Still there may have
been enough inflammation in the yicera, that
looked this way, TO show that it is, in fact,
the cause of death.
The stomach was then placed in glass
jar, properly sealed, and delivered to Coroner
'cntly, TO be conveyed by him to Professor
'fonry or some other reliable chemist in
Baltimore for immediate ANALYSIS, and the
Jury adjourned TO Reasonable at the call of
the coroner. For nearly three weeks our
people were held in a State of fcyerish en-
element, awaiting the result of the ANALYSIS,
until saturday last, when the jury was re-
assembled in secret session and teleglaphic
dispatch from Professor Ionry read, in
which he stated that he had found in the
stomach Il grain and half Of arsenic.
Hr>. Mott. Cross, and Edwards were sum-
moncd before the jury and questioned as to
what was considered the usual dose of arse
mic, and each concurred in saying from the
tenth to the sixteenth part Of Il grain. After
II lengthy and patient consideration of the
whole matter, the jury rendered the following
verdict. Verdict Published in yesterdays

Whcreupon Il warrant was at once issued
for tie arrest Of the unfortunate woman and
placed in the hands of Sergeant Attwell, and
the jury adjourned. The news of this action
spread like wiG-iirc, and the most intense
excitement prevailed. BY the time the car
riagc arrived containing the prisoner, the
street in front OF tie Mayors office was
almost completely blockadcti. The coroner's
functions having ended, the further manage
incnt Of the c:,se was turned over to Justice
James VI. Wallace.
