TIE FoRTNEY SUICIDE
One of the Physicians in the Case
Makes a Statement.

Labette, Kan, May q
notice in the State Journal Of the 10th
that an effort will be made to reverse the
decision of the coroner's Jury of Labette
county, in the Mabel Fortney case here.
says the Fort Scott correspondent.
1 would love to say that at the trial
here it was clearly shown that j. M. Pr
per did not promise to marry Miss Fort
ney. as she had so acknowledged to Pi-
per's father and sister some time pre-
vious- OF course eli deaths are due to
heart failure. but all symptoms and indi-
cations in Miss Fortney's case clearly
snow that she died Of poison, and upon
the testimony of two physicians in charge
-DrS. Allison and O'COnner-the Jury in
the case decided that it was poison and
the coroner had nothing to do with the
decision, as he was only supposed to pre-
side, as the county attorney, Mr.. Hiatt
conducted the investiga ton.
It is too late to ask for a new trial I'M
less a similar decision is wanted, as the
body has been embalmed, but the proper
way to have settled this matter was as
was suggested to the interested parties
on the day of the trial, that was by post
morten and chemistry.

This indifference prevails not only
among land lubbers, but also among
seamen. The accident at Bilancourt,
where four French cavalrymen were
drowned while engaged in crossing
the Seine during a military reconnais-

The chief of these is that when men

operations they shall be accompanied
