DRUGS THAT KILLED HER.
ANTHONY, ARSENIC AND sULPHATE OF
IRON IN MRS. BLISS STOMACH.

AN OFFICIAL OF THE DIsTRICT-ATToRNEY's OF
F1cE SAYS THAT THERE WILL BE ANOTHER
ARREST sooN-HE FEELS CERTAIN
OF CONVICTION.
Acting District-Attorney John d. Lindsay saio
yesterd,k that no order mad been issued to ex-
hume ~ body of Mrs Evelina NJ. Bliss. Mr.
Lindsay said that 1t would be necessary to secure
an order from the Supreme Court or from a
County Judge to take up the body He thought
this would be done so as to make further exam
ination OF different organs Of the body for evil
dences Of poison.
An analysis Of the contents Of the stomach has
disclosed that arsenic. anthony and sulphate OF
iron were administered to Mrs. Bliss. The condl-
ton Of the kidneys. liver. spleen and other organs
will furnish evidence to the operation or these
agents.
Mr. Lindsay said that he believed the Bliss case
would prove to be one of the most sensational and
peculiar murder trials Of recent times. 1t Will re-
Quire the keenest ability the part Of the prose-
cution to clear up the mystery and bring the real
criminals to Justice
Il believe that great many Of these extraor-
binary crimes" Mr. Lindsay said. ARE limitations
of other cases which the people read in the news
papers don't say that he crime is necessarily
committed because people read Of some other SEN
sational deed but the motive being there the
criminal initiates the method he reads OF, and
perhaps more easily falls into the commission OF
the crime from having read Of the previous deed"
MAY BE ANOTHER ARREST.
Another official in the Distrct-Attorney's Office
