corner of Main and Railroad streets, died
very suddenly about three weeks ago. The
death became the subject of gossip among
the women of the neighborhood in which
the mau lived. One of them finally asked
Mrs. Cornwall how it was her husband died
SO very suddenly, and without the neighbors
knowing anything about it. Mrs. Q. replied
that she didn't know what tho cause of his
death was, but remarked casually that her
husband became quite sick a few hours be-
fore he died, soon after he had drank some
tea that she made for him. She thought,
however, that his sudden illness was oc-
casioned by tobacco leaves that had got
mixed up with dry tea, but she had no idea
that his death occurred through any such
cause. Cornwall had shoe maker en-
ploye named Jno. N. Dethloff, who, after
the death of his employer, lived with Mrs.
Cornwall as her only companion, to the
scandal of the people. A few days ago they
were married, and yesterday Mrs. @. was
are sted on the charge of poisoning her
former husband, and Dethlof was arrested
as an accessory.
