STILL NO VERDICT
AWAITING CHEMICAL ANALYSIS
IN TOTMAN CASE.
NO CLEARING UP OF MYSTERY
Coroner's Jury Waits for the Chemists
But Nothing Can Undo the
Terrible Deed.
Missoula, Mont, April 3.

Missoula, Mont, April 3.
The coroner's jury yesterday resumed
the taking of testimony in the Tatman
poisoning case and held two sessions The
evidence secured was not such as would
warrant a NYdict. and the result of the
chemical analysis, now under way, will
be awaited before the decision is made.
Nothing developed at yesterdays hear
ings that throws light on possible man
ner in which the deed could have been
committed. Mr.. Totman. Miss Bessie
Totman, Mrs. Hughes, nurse that was
called to attend the sufferers, and Lynde
and A. w. Catlin, two young men who
were at the Totman home developing
photograph on the Friday preceding the
fatal dinner. were called to testify. Their
evidence gave no new features or theory
as to how poison could have gotten
into the food. Contradictions of testi-
mony given by Ceiscurella Caravan. the
servant girl. were made. The case still
assumes as mysterious a condition as at
first and the result of the chemical analy-
sis for poisoning is anxiously awaited by
many who have become interested in the
case. The evidence of DR.. w. Mills. at
a prior hearing, that the servant was
intoxicated at the time Of her arrival
at the house, was substantiated by the
evidence Of two witnesses, who had de-
tected fumes Of liquor on her breath.
The woman positively denies drinking
any liquor. She came to MssOula from
Butte, where she has at times been en-
ployed at the Office of a telephone COM
