the Carson Mint as It's Melting and
Refining departments are as complete
as any in the United States; and as it
is near the mines the cost for express

and between II and / O'Clock. on the
day named. she carried it into room
where no one was at that time. There
was bottle of carbolic acid on the shell

upon examination, that it had been
given some Of the deadly fluid. DIR. A.
