man. about thirty years old. who died some time
during the night Of June from poisoning that
was apparently accidental The man was not

Whe-, Murray came aboard he brought bottle
Of cyanide Of potassium and bottle 81 some

stood together upon the washstand In hts cabin.
When the steward went TO Murray's cabin at 8

was placed in one Of the steel collins the snip
