Senior La Barrier, AN immensely wealthy
.Spaniard, died suddenly OF his home in
st. Thomas. his young and beautiful
wife acted as though demented when
she learned that her husband had passed
away, and her intense grief and pro.
u ionged hysteria gave rise to the belief
that the unfortunate woman would her.
self soon follow the husband whose loss
. she seemed to feel such poignant grief
for. When Senior La Barriers will was
probated it was found that he had be-
queathed his entire fortune to his wife,
and us no one disputed the testament,
the young wife decided to turn the for
tune left her into ready cash and leave
st. Thomas.
Shortly after senors's departure, the
servant who had been employed in the
family of Senior La Barrier informed
/, the chief of police that he had occasion
to believe that his late master had been
poisoned. and that no less parsonage
than La Barriers wife had committed
the crime. He handed the chief a vial
of prussic acid, which he said he saw
drop from senora's pocket, wrapped in
handkerchief, q couple of nights be-
fore his masters death, and though q
doctors certificate declared that death
was occasioned by peritonitis, he was
morally certain that the man had been
poisoned. The body of La Barrier was
subsequently exumed, and q post NOR
tenn revealed the fact that death was
occasioned by prussic acid.
Suspicion pointed to the wife as the
murderess, and steps were at once in
stituted by the murdered mans sister
in-law to discover the whereabouts of
Sonora La Barrier.
"Black Pedro" the detective, was at
the time we speak of probably better
known to the criminal class of Cuba
and Mexico than any other man living.
To him was intrusted the finding of
Sonora La Barrier, and it was under
peculiar difficulties that the officer start
ed out to find the woman. His ability
in such eases was never doubted, and
his daring and bravery were bywords
