POWDER
CONTAINED
ARSENIC
Damaging Evidence Against
Miss Richardson In Yester-
days Proceedings at Chelsea

Chelsea. Jan. s.-A few minutes before
the close OF yesterdays hearing 10 the
Richardson poisoning case DR.. b. r. Da-
venport, testified that he had found 10 PEP
cent OF arsenic In one OF the powders
which a woman representative OF the Re-
we're police had discovered hidden In Miss
Catherine v. Richardson's stocking.
Two witnesses heard Miss Richardson
express hope or wish for her mothers
death. another heard them quarreiling
over money AFFAIRS. and still another said
Mrs. Richardson complained OF her treat
ment by her daughter. One witness heard
Catherine swear at her mother.
Still nearly everyone admitted that Mrs.
Richardson acted strangely. and 1t APP
peared to be generally understood that
she was mildly insane.
But when late I'm the afternoon DIR. Day-
export was called a perceptible rustic was
heard and interest in the case 1t once be-
came intense. He produced four envelopes
which. ne said. had been given him BY
Chief sackett. They all contained powders
and were numbered and marked. On No.
1 was the inscription: Found on person
by Mrs. Rollins" on No. q Found I'm
I'm trunk In Southwick's ROOM" on No. Z.
Found In trunk In front room" and on
No. Pound In jewelry box. top tray OF
first trunk"
Nos. 2, and 4 were dismissed with =
few words DIR. Davenport said he tested
all the powders. but found no traces or
arsenic. That left No. Ito be accounted
for. IL was this envelope that Mrs. Roll
lns said she found hidden In Miss Rich
ardson's stocking, near the ankle. Is
was a druggists envelope, marked 10 gr.
sodium bromide" And previously in the
day Druggist Palmer of Revere had
stated that he gave the envelope to Miss
Richardson when she purchased sodium
bromide early I'm December. But In tho
envelope were two powder papers. ana
scattered about the bottom were nuner-
Gus white crystals.
DR.. Davenport said that one of the
powders proved to be sodium bromide,
and that there was the same ingredient
in THE other, but mixed with this second
powder was white arsenic. He found
that the second powder paper contained
J l5 grains of white powder. of which elk
grains, or 40 per cent, was arsenic. He
| stated that he made nve separate tests
| OF the powder. the last for quantity. all
| of which showed arsenic, che last the "a
| per cent.
do you know of any combination OF
medicine which combines .odium bromide
| with arsenic?" was the last question
| asked the doctor.
"In all my professional practice, I
never heard OF such combination" was
| DR.. Davenport's reply, and then the
court adjourned
The government has still three other
witnesses 10 call after DIR. Davenport con-
| cludes his testimony, but the hearing will
probably close tomorrow
