in the case of Mrs. Margaret Lyman.
hav, at last brought in q verdict. II
will be rememt cred tina; the jury refused
to do this unless the contents of her
stomach were analysed. Accordingly
the stomach with its entire contents
was sent to William ]. Wenzell. an ana
lvtical chemist of San Francisco, who
analyZed both the contents of the ston-
ach and the box of Costar's Rat Exter-
minstor, Ct which Mrs. Lyman stated
before death that she had partaken.
Mr.. Wenzell found that deceased had
been poisoned by phosphorus, which
was also the principal ingredient in the
rat poison. The jury find that Mrs.
LYMAN came to her death ''by taking q
preparation called Costsr's Rat Exter-
minator,' which preparation contains
phosphorus in fatally poisonous proper
lions; THAT she was driven to this
&C: by the extreme brutality and
continued cruelty of her husband; and
the regret of this jury is that he can
not be legally punished for a murder
that We consider him morally guilty of. :"
