that Herbert NJ Hm. Ph. D. the Univer-

has discovered traces Of cyanide OF po-
tassium. II is said that the discovery was
made two or three days ago. and thar the
poison was concealed in grooves well un-
der the copper cartridges.
Dr. Hill was asked this morning wheth-
er he was in position to deny or affirm
the report Il cannot say anything about

is that the tests have not been COM

Cyanide Of potassium is extremely
poisonous. its corrosive action being due

hcient quantities to produce its toxic ef-
fects- To De active. this mineral poison
must be quite white and dry. Being de-
hquescent it must De kept in tightly cork
ed bottles in order TO retain its activity.
The question now naturally arises
whether the cyanide. If present in these
cartridges, would not have been acted
upon by the copper OF which they are
made. and decomposed- The chemical
formula Of potassium cyanide is Hen:
copper is Gu HCN plus GU equals Gu
CN plus H. Thus cyanide OF copper is
formed and hydrogen is liberated.
It is to be remembered. moreover. that
the action Of cyanide OF potassium Is ex-
tremely rapid whether taken by the
mouth or absorbed through the skin. II

agent such as bullet. the corrosive ac-
ton would begin at once and spread with

In view Of the fact that the gangrenous
process began late and progressed slowly.
