INITIATING THE BRoMo CASE.
A Bottle Sent to n Canadian Police
Official.

Montreal Quebec. Feb. 2S.-An attempt
to poison Chief McCaskill, of the Canadian
Secret Service, has apparently been made.
Yesterday mornings mail brought him a
neatly tied package, evidently mailed in
this city. On opening it he found q 10
cent bottle of bromo seltzer. and, suspect
ing that something was wrong, he called
in several Of his staff TO make an inspec
tion.
Had the wrapper around the bottle been
in perfect condition the affair would in
stantly have been regarded as joke. hut
there were evidences that il had been care
fully opened and then resealed. An araly
sis of the contents OF the bottle is now be-
ing made.
Chief McCaskill is the most successful
murderer Capturer that Canada has ever
known, and he has received many threat
ening letters. A woman relative of man
whom McCaskill caught and who was
hanged is suspected. She was not clever
enough to know that. in view of the ia
nous Adams case IN New York, bottle of
brono seltzer would be the very thing 10
cause suspicion. II would seem that she or
someone else merely attempted the same
line of murder which had already proven
successful.
