THE CAMERON CASE.
Awaiting the Report of the Analyzer at
st. John.
rSnecial to the Press. I


HALIFAX, February 12-The analyzer
Mcintyre has for two or three days been
at work on the stomach of A. d. Cam
eron, alleged to have been poisoned by
his wife, the Maine woman. Last night
Cameron's body was exhumed from the
grave. The brain, heart, lungs, kidneys
and portion of the liver were taken out
by Coroner Primrose. This was done in
response to request of Analyzer A. Nc
.Intyre of St. John. The coroner started
for that city today with these portions of
the body, which will also be analyzed'
The remains were reinterred. The ex-
humation gave rise to many rumors and
much additional interest was manifested
today.
John E. Farnsworth the man at VIII ose
house Cameron died, and whose startling
stories in Bridgetown so excited public
opinion that led to the inquest and arrest
Of Mrs. Cameron, testified on Saturday.
He related the chances there were for
Mrs. Cameron to poison her husband
without detection if she were not
watched. He swore that that Mrs Cam
eron asked him to procure the grave
clothes for husband the night before ahe
died, a remarkable fact. Nothing de-
cided beyond that was elected from the
witness. 1t is considered now that the
whole case for the prosecution rests
upon the report of the analyzer, which
will not be forthcoming for week.

and Employees.

This afternoon the hearing WAS re-
sumed, and Mr.. Driscoll told of the
rooms that were locked by day and ex-
planned where the fire hose was kept.
The inmates, he said, were allowed to
smoke after breakfast, but never allowed
to smoke in their rooms. Michael Casey
came often for matches, saying his pipe
was out Six men on the fir floor
smoked, but Laura Ellis, the only wo-
man who smoked. was on the second
floor, When he first saw the fire in the
Fountain woman's cell he was positive
it was not in the floor. No fire escapes
were on the building, but witness
thought there were two ladders about
the premises.
Mrs. Roberts. one of the inmates, was
fastened to an iron bedstead, because of
broken hip, and when her dead body
| was found it was still fastened there.
Witness detailed the manner of identi-
fying the bodies as they were taken from
the ruins, but could give no information
as to how the fire originated. 1t is
possible, however, the Fountain woman
might have obtained match from one
of the smokers and set the fire.

to Monday morning. During the day the

An Alleged Incendiary Hangs Himself in
Jail.

EXETER, N. H., FEBRUARY lz.-iIas1
night David F. Collins of Kingston
owner of the West Newbury tenement
recently burned with two occupants was
put in Jail here for alleged completely in
the burning. This morning he hanged
himself in his cell with the bed sheets.
HAyERHILL, Mass, February 12.-The
suicide of David F. Collins in the Exeter,
N. H.. Jail this morning is considered
a sure evidence of his guilt. He was ar
rested Saturday afternoon at Kingston,
N. H., charged with completely in the
b rning of house in West Newb.iry the
night Of January 80. James M. Addison
and his son William, lost their lives in
this fire. From the first it was clear the
fire was incendiary, and the object being
to get the insurance which was a great
deal above the value of the building.
When it was found that the horse and
sleigh or pung seen that night on the
road on which the house was located be-
longed to the owner of the building, few
doubted that he planned and directed
the burning. The case was placed in
the hands of state detective Batchelder,
who followed up every clue until he re-
ceived what he considered sufficient evil
dence to take into custody Oscar d.
Hubbell, on charge of being one of the
men seen in the sleigh near the house
on the night of the fire. From him, its
stated, evidence against Collins was OBJ
tanned, causing his arrest. The other
party, Warren Dearborn, said to be in
the sleigh that night, disappeared.
Officers are on his trail and he can hard
Iy escape capture. Collins was a horse
trader, and about A years old. If reports
are true he did not have a savory reputa-
ton at Kinston. Hubbell is a young
man and supposed to have been hired by
Collins to fire the building.
