Amsdor County Sensational woman's
Sudden Death.
JACKsoG, September 27th.-Mrs. Domep-
leo Bacigalupi died at Buena Vista, twelve
miles west of here, last Saturday. Rumors
of foul play were started by the neighbors.
The remains were brought to Jackson on
Monday and buried. Officers went to the
scene yesterday and found a chain of cir
cumstances tending to strongly confirm the
suspicion of poisoning.
1t seems Bacigalupi purchased bottle of
strychnine at Buena Vista store, saving
he wanted TO kill squirrels, and spoke of his
wife as being sick and crazy and that she
would die soon. She was seen around as
usual on Saturday morning. About s
O'Clock in the evening he reported to the
neigbbors that she was dead.
No doctor was summoned, and the hus-
band was anxious not to have the body
opened. When the neighbors called the
body was rigid, as were the arms, crossed
over the breast, and froth was issuing from
her nostrils. The label, torn from the bot
tie OF poison, was found near the cellar
where the husband was seen TO enter.
The body was exhumed this afternoon,
and the contents of the stomach removed
for analysis.
A Coroner's inquest viii be held to-mor-
row. A warrant is out for Bacigalupi. He
has lett, ii IS believed, for Caiaveras county.
Officers are after him, and there is little
doubt of his speedy capture.
