MAYsVILLE, Oct. 1.-THE post-mortem
examination of the remains of LUCY
Anderson (colored), who died under
circumstances that indicated poiso ming,
has been concluded, and the fact estab-
lished, as near as possible without
an examination OF the con-
tents of the stomach by an analytic
chemist, that the woman died from
the effects OF strYcnnine.
The Coropeps jury, after an examina-
ton OF large number OF witnesses,
among them medical men, returned a
unnatural m2ans. jerry Anderson, the
w0man's husband, was yesterday ar
rested and lodged III Ill. The evidence
against him is, that on Saturday
night he caused to be procured from
one of the drug stores 80 cents
worth OF stryohnine, on the plea
that he had a customer for it In the
mountains. Five hours before his wife's
death he administered 10 her a dose OF
medicine. a physician was sent for
shortly before death, and detecle
symptoms of poisoning BY sLrychnine.
Between y und O'clock Monday night,
d cTOWu Oh ABOUT forty negroes and
lew whites gathered at the Jail, and
demanded OF Mr.. Robinson the KEYS.
They told him they wanted Anderson,
to hang him. Robinson answered lat he
didn't carry the keys, and went
back into the Juilers residence with ,ut
producing them. A little later, while tue
crowd was still about the jail, he armed
himself, and making his way down
town, aroused Marshal Hefin, and the
two, together with guard OF two OF
three persons, returned TO :he Jail. Het-
lin told me leader, who was a coored
man mufh ID about The face, that they
would nor be permitted TO take lhe pris-
oner from the jail, and advised them 10
dispersc. Tney consulted together for
few moments, aud quietly lett. There
was no attempt at yloleno", and nothing
that Indicated mob sp, rIt, although the
prisoner would certainly have been
hanged except for the frmuess of the
officers. Everything is quiet, and no
further demonstration is expected. The
stomach oil the dead woman will be seut
