4 Death Which Puzzles the Life
Insurance Agent.
About three months ago q man
named Nadr", living in the northeast
part of the city, cnlled upon Mr.. Ten
WinE!e, q life insurance agent, and
stating that his lite was already in
snred for $4,000, asked for $4,000
policy in Ten Wrinkles company
The man was not we'll dressed, spoke
broken English, and seemed not to
bo over we'll of in this world goods.
While the agent Was willing to issue
the policy, he thought it strange that
poor laboring man like Nadra
should want to carry such an insur-
ance, involving an expense of about
5000 per year. Mrs. Nadra was along
with her husband, and was desirous
that he should take out the new pol
icy. Ten Winkle made some in
quiries, and then appointed q day
for Nadra to be examined. -Four or
five of the best physicians in Detroit
examined the candidate, and they
pronounced him just what any OBJ
server would, q strong, healthy, TO
bust man, likely to live q scofe Of
years at least. The application was
sent east to the company, and in due
time the policy came back. Nadra
called for it several times before it
came, and when it arrived he was
ready with his money to pay the pre-
MUM. Six weeks after, OF six weeks
ago, Mrs. Nadra left home one morn
ing, and her husband, who was not
feeling well, remained in the house.
The children were out and in during
the morning, but .,were away to a
neighbor's during the afternoon. A
laborer at the next house saw Nadra
once during the afternoon, but when
the wife returned at evening she
found him cold and dead. Coroner
Gnau was called, and, as he was giv.
en- to understand that the death in
volved loss of $4,000 to the insur.
ance companies, he adjourned the
inquest. The stomach was removed
and sent to DIR. Lyon tor analysis, il
order that it might be determined
whether his death was the result o
natural causes. DR.. McGraw con

DIR. Lyon testified that he mad
his first test for prussic acid, and no
finding any, tested for vegetabl
poison. He found small qauntit
