| coroner's jury Is still In search of evil
dencc rs to the cause OF the death of
j. Il. Walkup, late of this place. There
has been no report made rs TO the
chemical analysis Of the contents of
the stomach, but this Is expected in a
day or two. Mrs. Wnlkup will be re-
CURED TO testify tomorrow. While
many of the absurd rs well as more

have been iasccrtaincd 10 be without
foundation, the substantial fact upon
which is based the suspicion of many
person rs 10 her guilt remain the
same rs from the beginning. The

of servant girl ON Sunday
morning TO u drug store IN this
city TO buy strychninc aud telling her
not to let any of Mr. Walkup's family
know II but instrlctipg her To say to
the family that she was going after
butter; the purchase of both strych-
nine and arsenic by Mrs. Walkup her
self, out of all proportion for the pur-
pose for which she claimed to want
them; the concurrent opinion of the
attorney and the consulting physic-
ians that the symptoms in every stage
of the case indicated poison, with
other circumstances of less impor-
lance, but still with more or less bear
ing on the public mind, renders IL
probable that Mrs. Walkup will be
held for trial in the district court.
