SHE TALKED OF POISON
Mrs. O'f1ara Advised Edward Strange
Not to Eat the Cookies
When He Told Her Of Their Bitterness She
Said They Were Stale and Might
Contain Poison

Yesterday morning the Coroner's in
quest into the death of John Henderson,
the East Side boy who was poisoned by
eating cake that contained some str ych-
nine was held.
The most important evidence to be pro-
duced was that of Edward Strange, the
youthful playmate of Henderson, and
who narrowly escaped death from the
same cause. He has been ill for some
days from the effects of the strychnine,
and was not very strong yesterday morn
ing when he took the witness chair
His testimony was simply the tale of
how he and his playmates had come by
the cakes and was given plainly and with
apparent truthtulness. 1t seems that he
and young Henderson were cutting grass
in Mrs. Elizabeth O'Hara's front yard.
Hearing a call from his sister. Estelle,
the two lads went to the rear of the house.
His sister had already received some
cakes from Mrs. O'Hara and the little girl
in turn gave them to the boys. Then
they went back to their grass cutting,
munching the cookies as they walked.
The witness said that he ate one cake
and was just about to begin another. when
he noticed that it tasted rather bitter.
He threw the second cake on the ground
after opening it, and finding some white
powder in it.. Then he went back to Mrs.
O'Hara to tell her about the funny taste
the cakes had. She listened and told him
not to eat any more of them, because
they were old and might be poisoned
After that he went out to the front of
the house again. and found Henderson
lying on the ground apparently very ill.
During the inquest there was plenty of
evidence introduced to show that Mrs.
O'Hara gave the cake containing the
posion to young Henderson and the
others, but nothing tending to prove that
she knew they contained poison, or that
she was animated by any malice toward
the children. Accordingly the jury re-
turned verdict to the effect that Hender-
died from the effecte of poison admins
tered by Mrs. Elizabeth OAHara. The
jury declare that they do not know
whether she did it with criminal intent
or not. s,,. ,... 49,.
Mrs. hatfield testified that three years
ago she had been visiting Mrs. 0 'Hara
and had overheard daughter of the ac-
cused woman, who now resides in Oak
land, charge her mother with drowning
her little son years ago in the East
The detectives who have been working
on the case will today unbosom them
selves of the knowledge they have gained,
in the Township Court, when the pre-
liminary examination OF Mrs. o. Hara will
be held.

AS nearly as possible the parade COM

Chairman Fleming and ex-Sheriff Cline

leros who will participate in the Native
California division, and the Native Sons

1t is about settled that Director General
Meyberg will have the Gentlemen's Rid
ing Club for his bodyguard during the

black leggings and light SLOUGH hat, max
ing very n .tty appearance.
Votes for Queen Of La Fiesta on Herald
coupons are still coming through the
mails, but as the director general has Of
ficially announced that the queen has al
ready been selected, no further votes will
be recorded.
There are many conjectures as to who
the favored lady u.s. but her name will
not be divulged until the date of her reign
begins April 14th.

STANDING AMONG THE RUINS
The Superintendent and Secretary Feel
DiscOnsOlate
Subscribers to the Citrus Guarantee Fund
PUNCHING Up Their Pro Rata
Most CheerfuIIy

At Hazards Pavilion yesterday after
noon Superintendent Frank Virgins
stood amid the wreck of booths and crush
of oranges, like Marius among the ruins
of Carthage-grand, gloomy and pecul-
lar, or more properly speaking, blue,
weary and disguised.
The cause of all this desolation was the
dismantling of the late Citrus Fair.
Mr.. Virgins is naturally of a CHEEKY dis
position, but yesterday he wore that
weary far-away look that betokens great
disappointment. That he was disap-
pointed he frankly admitted, and III Secre-
tary Willard he had comapanion who
fully shared his gloomy feelings. These
two gentlemen have been through series
of citrus and other fairs covering
a period of five or six years, all entailing
last eminently successful, financially as
we'll as otherwise.
On the last fair they brought to bear all
the experience gained in former ones,
and were ably seconded by the Southern
California Fruit Exchanges, whose repre-
sentatives We're no less experienced men
than Messrs. Willard and Virgins. The
result was the most beautiful citrus ex-
hibitiOn ever seen anywhere. The sole
cause of trouble now is that not enough
people went to see it, at % cents per head.
The receipts were disappointingly
small, being only about $4,000, only about
two-thirds that of former fairs. The ex-
penses were no larger than ON former &C.
casions. The fair was financial failure,
simply because the people did not patron
ize it more literally.
The deficit is not yet exactly
known, but the subscribers to the guar
antee fund are paying up cheerfully. A
number of them gave checks for portion
of the amount they are responsible for,
yesterday.
AS before stated, Superintendent Wig
gins and Secretary Willard feel this disap-
pointment keenly, not because their own
names are on the guarantee fund for 500
each, but because it breaks their record
of successes. No one blames them, though,
for the failure, as everything possible on
their part was done to make it success.
The fault is no ones except that of the
public who failed to respond more gener-
ously.
The pavilion was cleared yesterday of
all the fruit and fixtures belonging to
the exhibitors and Fair Association.
Only the roof and wall decorations, which
are the property of Messrs. German and
Tidball, the directors, now remain. 1t
may be that these will be kept in place
for use at the Fiesta ball.
