The soIon Mys'ery-The Poisoned Both.
Found Tn Jackson's Barn.

Pound ia -
In the report of the chcumsts noes attending III,
death of William c. Jackson of Scion, as publish
ed few days since, it was mentioned that Jack
son discovered a bottle filled with some kind
of liquid, in his hay NOW, and showed it to hi,
neighbor Wilbur, saying that he feared it was poi
son.
Here are some further particulars about this
bottle. 1t was discovered by Mr. Jackson in the
latter part of May, and was put up in cupboard
in Jacksons house, without any attempt at con.
cealment. He had shown il to Wilbur, and had
expressed some doubt about it. The contents
were evidently spirits. A few days sfterward
Mrs. Wilbur was i'll, and her husband, having nc
spirits in the house, borrowed this bottle, although
jackson advised him not to take il. lie took a
tie sspoonlul Of the contents himself and admins
tered about as much more to his wife. Half an
hour afterward both were taken with cramps in the
stomach but on the application of the usual rem
edies the symptoms passed away. The bottle was
returned to Jscksons cupboard.
On the day after Jackson's death, Mrs. Jackson
told Benson that people might say that her hus
band was drunk when he was killed, if that bottle
remained in the house, and Benson ,hereupon
poured the contents out and hid the bottle 10 a
stump in a ueighboring field. lie pointed it out
to the officers at once, when inquiry was made for
it, and it is now in the hands of a chemist
II appeared at the inquest, furthermore that
Benson had attempted to poison himself, some
time before, by swallowing solution of rat poi
son in alcohol, but his life was saved
1t appeared Furthermore, that jackson, on the
evening Of June II, returned to the house after
hiking, and then went back to turn the colt into
the pasture. 1t appeared also that Jackson had
said that the colt, though usually kind, wa
treacherous.
Benson has left the Jackson farm
