Walter s. Haines, Chicago chemis

reports himself unable to discover traces OF
narcotic drugs in the liver OF the murdered
Fora Burns. A dispatch from Lincoln. H.
says: ''Since Carpenter was released or
bail expectation has been directed to this
| report Of the Chicago chemist making al
analysis of the internal organs of the late
Fora Burns. The hope of discoveries from
that quarter has proved dclusivc. Had the
report been to the effect that narcotics were
used. much of the suspicion would have been
directed in an other channel. But, ms the case
now stands, public opinion holds that Car
pen,er is under still darker cloud. Since
his release from Jail he has said that he il rs
innocent as a babe unborn, hut his refusal to
prove this by testimony or even statement,
creates sentiment against him."
