PITTsBURG, April 12.-For some days a
report has been current that Gamble
Weir, late superintendent of police Of
Pittsburg, was slowly poisoned to death.
1t has now been developed that the body
was dug up from its grave in Greenwood
cemetery few days ago and the stomach
submitted to chemical analysis. Those
who caused the body to be exhumed were
the dead superintendent of policies BROTH
er, County Commissioner j. G. Weir, DR..

the stomach was submitted to Professor
Huge Blanck for examination.

Blanck found enough arsenic in the
stomach to kill several men it is reported.
1t is claimed that the poisonous drug that
did its deadly work on Mr.. Weir's system
had been administered to him by slow de-
grees for several weeks before his death
and that it's work was extremely slow.
Harry Pfell in a conversation on the sub
ject confirmed the story. Gamble Weir
