Walter S. Haines, a Chicago chemist,
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 on
bail expectation has been directed TO the
report of the Chicago chemist making an
analysis of the internal organs of the late
Fora Burns. The hope of discoveries from
that quarter has proved delusive. Had the
report been TO the effect that narcotics were
used, much of the suspicion would have been
directed in an other channel. But as the case
now stands, public opinion holds that Car
penter is under still darker cloud. Since
his release from Jail he has said that he Is as
innocent as a babe unborn, but his refusal to
prove this by testimony % even statement,
creates sentiment against him."
