POISON CAUSED
HIS DEATH
Autopsy on Best's Body Re-
veaIs This Fact
ROBBERY WAS THE MOTIVE
Colonel Best's Son Believes He was
Poisoned for His Money. A
Servant is Implicated.
ROBBERY WAS THE MOTIVE

New York, July 15.-The presence Of
an irritant poison, probably aconite,
was discovered yesterday in a small
section of an intestine taken from the
body of Col. William J Best at the
autopsy. DR.. Herbert B. Baldwin, the
chemist of the Newark health board,
who made the test, has assured
Charles Sumner Best, the son of the
dead man, that he has found enough
to be certain that Col. Best's death
was due to the poison.
Warrants, it is said, will be issued
on a charge of murder for the arrest
of John Donald Woods and Alice Cloy
Woods by Thomas P. Boyd. public
prosecutor of Marin county, Cal.
Will Make Murder Charge.
Prosecutor Boyd so notified Charles
S. Best in the following telegram:
&c. S. Best, New York: The gar
rant for the arrest of John Donald
Woods and Alice Cloy Woods on a
charge of grand larceny, after the in
quest will be changed to murder"
Thomas P. Boyd, San Rafael, Cal"
When the body of Col. Best was ex.
humed from the family plot at Cald-
well, N. j., for an autopsy, 1t was
found that the internal organs had
been removed and sawdust substituted
1t was feared that evidences OF the
suspected poisoning sought for had
lost, but in the sawdust were found
several detached pieces Of intestine.
Though small, they were sufficient fol-
the chemical analysis and DR.. Herbert
B. Baldwin took it up. Further tests
recurring several days to complete
will be applied and the sawdust Itself
also will be analysed.
Say Robbery Mas Motive.
The strange case, which took Sc
startling a turn, is unhesitatingly de
clared by Col. Best's son to a murder
of which robbery was the motive. Thu
victim, if such he was, died at thu
home of DR.. Woods in San Rafael OF
April 6 last. DR.. w. f. Jones acted il
consultation with DR.. Woods and is
sued a burial permit which named
cerebral hemorrhage is the cause o
death. The body was shipped cas-
after several days by an undertake
named F. E. Sawyer. and with it was

FIGHTING CORPORATIONS.

The decision of the United States
circuit court against the merger of the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
railroads will, of course, stimulate
suits against all forms of corporations,
for awhile. The attorney general of
Illinois has certified to the prosecuting
attorney of Cook county (Chicago) the
lanes of 5000 corporations which
have failed to comply with the pro-
visions of the antitrust law of that
state, which requires an annual aft
davit from each corporation to the eff
feet that it has not entered into a pool,
trust, or combine. The states attor-
neys in other counties are to be sup.
piled with information of the same
character, and they will be instructed
to proceed against the delinquent com
panies.
The penalty fixed by statute is $50
per day, and as these corporations
have been delinquent for five or six
months they are each liable to a fine
running into thousands of dollars.
Governor Murphy, of New Jersey,
acting in compliance with a law of his
state, has issued a proclamation dis
solving several thousand companies
because they have failed to pay the
annual fee prescribed by the New Jer-
sey statutes. These are indeed dismal
and strenuous days for corporations.
