and mysterious summons was a maiden

with her brother Mike O'Toole, somewhere
on the line of the Lisbon plank road.

minutes, but upon his return found Miss.

jaws distended and twisted in an unnatu-
raj shape, as from the effects of an epilep-
tic fit. Health Commissioner Martin was

the probable cause of Miss. O'Toole's death,
Dr.. Orton expressed the opinion
hat heart disease carried her off. He said
she was subject to fits, and was also afflict-
ed with disease of the heart, but he had
not considered the attack of illness which
brought her to his Office as serious. The
doctor asserted further that she could not
have sUicided with poison, as he had no
poison Or poisonous drug on his premises.
Health Commissioner Martin, when asked
frankly stated that the indications pointed
strongly to the administration of poison,
