Hams JOHS
KnockoutId
Says That LMlefeld Died The Uicim Of His Own Hand
From Catholic cAcd Poisoning Taken EAhes c4ccidenf-
alp or WIN Suicidal Intent hMy Geams Of Deadly
Drug in Crystalline Form Found IN Stomach

George II. Littleheld. who was found
unconscious in an alley east Of Conn
mercial street on the morning Of June
6. and who died at the police station
about four hours later, came TO his
death from carbollc acid poisoning. This
fact was brought out this morning at
the coroner's inquest in Justice Clarks
court, when City Chemist Harms read
his report Of the analysis he made of
the contents OF Littlehelds stomach.
Whether the man was given the pol
son with murderous intent, or whether
he took II with suicidal intent or by ac-
cident, will probably never be known.
That Is a matter OF speculation, purely.
The report OF Mr.. Harms covered sew
cral type written pages, but II II com
tanned anything highly sensational" Il
is difficult to find where II ia.
The unusual feature about the analy-
sis Is that II was determined that Little
field took large quantity Of the acid
in beer, and that death was caused by
the absorption OF the acid insteid Of by
corrosion of the mucus membrane. The
latter is the result, declares the chemist
in 80 cases out of 100. Mr.. Harms said
that the beer masked the oder Of the
acid and that that is the req son why
DR.. Benedict was unable to determine
what poison he had to combat. The
chemist gave detailed account Of the
process of the analysis and described
infinitely the condition Of the stomach,
which was cut into small pieces, and
also the contents. He related the find
ings Of the physicians at the autopsy on
June g. and told the jury what DR.. Benz
edict did to revive the man, He said
that the analysis was begun on the the
