out any new Developments In the poison

Landlord Montgomery continues to -
sert that there was nothing In the house
at the time Of the poisoning that could
have caused death even II used with the
food. He also ridicuIes the idea that
anyone could wish to kill him.
The latest explanation advanced n that
arsenic was placed In the milk used on
the fatal day, some Of the latter now be-
ing under examination. Medical Ex-'
aminer Snow was seen and stated that
there was nothing new to report and that
he would not make any more statements
until he hears from Prof. Hill OF Hax-
ward College. No arrests have been made
and a. yet no defnitc suspicion points -
anyone that would warrant an arrest.
