proposition, or question, is probably
one Of the most plausible the reporter
ever heard, but in that plausibIlity lies
concealed the fatal moral poison.
Young people, more especially,
who are inclined to doubt
the Word of God (the Bible
think that the question can not be an-
swered, and that they have found II
very large bonanza Of skcptcal armor.
But, the preacher admitting the platls'

the mind Of the reporter, convincing.

The Mysterious Deaths 1T the CONNER
Clal Restaurant.
Was II Suicide, Was II Accidental, or
Was II Murder?

The readers Of The HERALD are IA
milinr with the details, so far rs they
have been developed of the death of
Frank DuCrr and Fredulin Dudly,
which occurred Mt the Commercial
restaurant, on Thursday evening, un-
der very mysterious circumstances.
AS has been before stated, an analysis
of the stOmaChs Of the deceased was
made by Mr., l.. NJ. Conner, whose tes-
timony before the jury Of inquest will
be found below.
The jury met in Judge Burford's
office yesterday, and consisted Of
the following gentlemen: Il. NJ. Ham
,aond, William Kibbc, IL. G. Bohny,
Edwin Taylor, w. j. Marshall and
James Stephens.
The first witness sworn was Henry
Do6lcin, who testified rs follows:
knew Frank Dcurr and Fredolin
Dudley, while living; they both died
on the 9Th day of August, 1878, ut the
Commercial Restaurant in Dallas, of
which | am one of the proprietors;
there was about twenty minutes
between the time Of their DEATHS
Deur had been in my en-
ploy from the 25th of July
until his death, and Daddy had been in
my employ about five days before his
death Deurr was sick when he came
to my place, but was able to be up and
do some work Dudly, about half
past two on the afternoon Of his DEATH
complained Of being sick, and went to
bed Deurr had taken his bed the day
before his death they both died be.
tween six and hnlf'past six o'clock in
the evening deceased eat and slept
| together; one was employed rs assist
ant cook and the other to wash dishes,
Dr. a. A. Johnson was sworn and
testified rs follows:
On last Thursday evening was d..
rectcd 10y Judge Burtord to make an
examination at two dead men lying AT
the Commercial restaurant; ! called in
Dr. Easley to assist me in making the
p0st-mortem examination; from an eX-
animation, we concluded that both of
the deceased came to their death 10y the
use Of oXalic acid.
l.. NJ, Conner was sworn and testified
AS follows:
am n practical chemist; both stom.
achs of the deceased were submitted to
me for examination; gave them most
thorough analysis, and was able to dis
cover OXalic acid in sufficient uunnti-
ties to cause death in both the stom-
achs examined; was engaged in maxi
ing the analysis about two days.
After n brief dellberation, the jury
proceeded to render the following ver-
diet:
We, the jury of inquest, find that
the deceased FredoIn Dudly and
Frank Deurr, came to their death, in
the city of Dallas, ON the 9TH day of
August, 1873, by the Use of oXalic acid,
administered to them either by them
selves or 10y some other person to the
Jury unknown.

charge them substantially ms follows.
Gentlemen OF the Grand Jury:
| had INDUCED the hope that the
progress of civilization, and the ad-
vancement and culture of the COUNTY,
would arrest the commission of crime,
and render the nQuisitorial
powers of grand uries a

and quiet OF the county, daily occur
rences of violation OF the law bring
into requisition your services, and de-
mand ut your hands Il strict and Impair

the laws of your state.
III Is much to be regretted that the
courts of the country, aided BY efficient
ana vigilant officers, have so far failed
10 entirely suppress the commission of
crime; and the partial failure can only
be rcmedied 10y Il still more thorough
ana exhaustive investigation OF the
commissions of all otlenses.
That crime has, to II great extent, been
diminished by reason of the faithful
discharge of duty upon the part OF the
courts and juries of the country, no one

be done. In one sense, you are the

A Prejudice DispeIied,

That the sudden, and ut the time
mysterious, death of two employees of
the Commercial restaurant should rem
der the patrons of the establishment II
little nervous, is not ut all strange. \
sudden aud simultaneous attack of III
ness, even, on any two guests of the
most popular hotel in the country,
would have the SAME effect. The YER
diet of the coroners jury, however,
sets at rest the theory that there were
any local causes for the deaths of the
poor men, and Messrs. Marchand Il
Doblein are rapidly and justly recov-
ering from whatever OF distrust may
have been engendered by the circun-
stances. The equals of any caterers in
any country, their restaurant Is all that
could be desired by any one. A model
OF cleanliness, its cook n chef It's sup
plies purchased in the best markets,
the Commercial deservedly enjoys an
enviable reputation among those who
know how to live.
