scHEELEs REPORT

Coroner O'Mcagher Police Inspector McCullagh
and Assistant District-Attomey Miller yesterday
had consultation over the evidence in the case
OF Mrs. Eyena NJ. Bliss and they received re-
port from Dr. Scheee, who MADE the analysis Of
the contents Of the stomach Of th,t dead woman.
They refused 10 make the report public. saying
that 1t must not be known until the Inquest but
there were reasons to believe that DR.. Scheee had
found traces Of both anthony and arsenic. The
officials could not believe that antimony alone
would have caused the death Of Mrs. Bliss, be-
in the trial OF DR.. Meyer it was shown that
many repeated doses of the poison had been re-
quired to cause death.
After an unsuccessful search, lasting since sun
day the police OF the West One-hundred-and-
twenty-ffth-st station yesterday resumed their
efforts TO discover where the poison was bought
which killed Mrs Bliss. The detectives engaged
upon the case believed that the poison was not OBJ
tained at any drug store in Harlem. but was pro-
cured from some druggist out OF town
