time she kept it. That was decided in
the Colorado case, and the same prin-
ciple applies in the recent California
case In this latter case, the box con-
tanning candy sent from California to
Delaware was opened Immediately af-

law in the case Of the sender of that
poisoned candy, il she had been indict-
ed exclusively for the murder Of one of

whom she did not send that deadly

THE other important question which
will be raised and will be of intense IN
terest to chemists on account of in
cidental disclosures and to all of those
who are of expert authority upon ques-
lions of medical Jurisprudence, relates
to the poison itself
THE chemist who made a chemical
analysis of the contents Of the body
and also of the organs of the decedent
announced an unexpected and highly
interesting scientific discovery. He
asserted that death had been caused
by cyanide of mercury, a most I'M
usual drug, used only for certain linn
tied commercial purposes and of such
rare demand as to make it almost GER
tain that the purchaser Of it could be
traced. 1t is a very violent, almost
instantaneous poison
But II seems to have been the pur-
pose OF the intending murderer to mix
with the bromo settler a drug whose
action would be slower and whose
effects would be similar to those which
are produced by certain stomachic or
intestinal disorders. That was the
course of the disease which caused the
death of one Of Mr.. Cornish's associates
in the athletic club.
The chemist by his various chemical
resolutions and tests felt that he had
established the fact that a different
drug from cyanide Of mercury had ORR
ginally been placed in the bromo settler.
II may not have been an absolutely
deadly drug and that is an important
point to establish. The chemist discov-
cred that this drug acting chemically
ana In an unsupported way upon the
peculiar quality OF bromo settler that
was IN this bottle developed the deadly
drug known as cyanide of mercury.
The murderer could not have Known
that such a chemical change would
take place in the bromo settler bottle

that he placed within the bottle. Now
