jury:

1888, before John Spelman, coroner Of
Shelby county. upon the body Of Ellen

jurors, whose names are hereunto sub

that the said Ellen Scheibler came to
her death in the following manner:
BY the administration OF chloroform,
given by Abner Wesson, jr dentist,
IN the discharge of his professional
duties. We find the administrator
censurable, from the fact that he did
not secure the services OF skillful
physician in order that the proper
remedies might have been applied
immediately upon the appearance OF
alarming symptoms. In testimony
whereof the said jurors set their hand

business men declining to renew it,

assignment. His liabilities, he stated,

taken as a criterion. The Doctor has

but the cloth is evidently saved from
the length OF the latter. Her coat

Chief Of the Secret Service Division,
that cruel trick had been played upon
her during her leave of absence from

after doing her allotted task, which
she had always finished before the
