Of a murder trial at the April term of the SUI
2reme Court the alleged murderer, Chas. Beal.
now being in Jail charged with the murder OF
his father, {. Z. Beal, OF Clinton, by poisoning
liquor which he drank, with strychninc. Al
the time of the prisoners arrest but little ap-
peared Of the evidence on which young Bcal
was detained, but recently some facts in rela-
ton to the crime have been learned. Attic in
luestit was ascertained from the tcstim ony that
the fatal bottle of liquor was kept in glass fruit
can, a second can being inverted and placed
over it,. As fast as wanted, the bottles were
taken from the barrel and placed in the glass
receptacle until the contents were disposed of.
Both, the brothers and other bows in the neigh
horhood had been in the habit of patronizing
this drinking PLACE, but about two weeks before
the poisoning all these young men seemed to
know that there was danger lurking about and
did not patrOnZe the bottle in the cellar as fire.
quently as in the past, which was regarded as
very significant circumstance. From what
could be gathered and sifted out from the test-
mOny, it was agreed that the poisoned bottle
of liquor had been placed in the barrel along
with the others, and perhaps had remained
there two weeks before it was taken out bv
Mr.. Beal. Mr.. Carleton very artfully question
ed the accused, Charles Beal, and intimated to
him that the liquor had quite likely been pois-
Oned by the manufacturers who had used pOis-
on in building it up. The witness very readily
acquiesced in this and, continuing, stated that
some time previously he had taken a bottle out
of the barrel and on tasting of the contents
found they tasted bitter, and proceeding to
the stable he threw the bottle down the scuttle
This was enough for the long headed officers
and the following morning, the testimony hay
ing been given late at night, they proceeded to
the stable cellar and pitched over the heap of
dressing there. After reaching layer at the bot
tom Of the heap liquor bottle was found, a
mate to those in the cellar, and Oh examining
the interior grayish sediment was seen cling
Ing to the glass, looking more like rye meal
than anything else. This was forwarded to
Prof. Robinson of BowdOin College, together
with the other liquor for analysis, and on sub
jecting the sediment to the usual process, it was
found to contain two grains of strychnine. This
furnished valuable clue, for with the excep-
ton OF the fatal bottle from which Mr.. Beal
drank, that Ia the barrel did not contain even
a trace Of poison. The officers concluded that
young Beal treated the first bottle with the in
tenti0n Of poisoning his father but finding that
it tasted bitter threw it away, as the presence
Of the poison would be revealed by the taste.
This theory is borne out by the fact that the an
alysis Of the fatal bottle showed that besides
the 20 79-10Oths grains of strychnine which IL |
contained, the chemist POUNDS liberal quantity |
