DR.. II. ). Joslyn, charged with fur
nisning an instrument, or instruments,
that caused the death Of Dora Cush.
man, was brought before Justice
Sherwin at Bristol last week. States
Attorney Fish appeared for the state
and f. w. futile for the defense.
The testimony was to the effect that
Smith Davis was seen on the steps OF
Joslyn's house the day before Dora
Cushmau died; that Joslyn bought "a
speculum and catheter At the South
Side drug store Aug. , and that the
speculum was put in box with sew
eral pieces of paper; that box, SINH.
lar in size, shape and looks was found
in Davis trunk Aug. 10, containing
two pieces of paper. on one of which
was written the word "Joslin"; that
druggist could not swear it was the
same box that he gave Joslyn August
18th; that early in August Joslyn
bought two dozen pills at Bisbee's
drug store.
Justice Sherwin deemed the evil
dence sufficient and bound Joslyn
over to the grand jury in the sum OF
$500. G. Z. Bush was accepted as
bondsman.
The impression is growing in Lin
coin that Dora Cushman's death was
directly due to some heart trouble. 1t

been troubled with fainting spells,
indicating disorder of the heart, and
the report is that the autopsy showed
her heart contracted and with no
blood in il, as if the organ had suf-
fered a spasm. The evidence taken
at the Davis hearing failed TO indicate
any cause whatever for the death and
of course did not make any basis for
nybody with either murder
or manslaughter. The result of the
of the contents of the
stomach is awaited with great interest,
as that may throw light upon the mat
ter.
1t was announced last week that
visitors TO the locality of Dora's death
had recently found a half pint amber
bottle containing about quarter of an
ounce of reddish liquid. The bottle,
which was secured corked, had been
concealed under the roots of a birch
tree not over five feet from the spot
where the body lay. Everything in
Heated that the bottle had been there
some time-probably since the TRACE
Nv. The bottle was at once delivered
% States Attorney Fish, who says il
s perhaps the most important discov-
Try yet made in his investigation of
he case.
OF course it will require chemical
analysis to determine just what the
bottle contains, but the fact that the
liquid is of a reddish color and has the
DIOR of brandy seems to corroborate |
VIM. Brittelle's sworn statement that
Herbert Poland sent 'some stuff in
cologne bottle" to Davis by him and
hat Davis mixed it with brandy.
1t is now known that Davis visited
he scene of the tragedy twice on the
atal day. He went first about four
o'clock, when it is supposed Dora met
i'm and the deed was committed. He
hen went TO town and later returned,
to see il she were really dead.
