NO POISON
Found By Experts in Robert Emmett
Walkers Stomach.

Found By Experts in Robert Emmett
Walkers Stomach.
The coroner's jury in the insur-
ance Walker case rendered a YER
dict saying, in substance, that
1--WE, the coroner's jury, found that
Robert Emmet Walker came to his
death by some cause unknown to
the jury. But we do not find that
he came to his death by unlawful
means"
DR.. Leroy and DR.. Krauss, who
made the analysis of the stomach
of Walker, whose body was ex-
humed twenty-one days after bur-
ial, reported before the coroner's
jury last Saturday to the effect that
no mineral or vegetable poison
was found in their analysis, and
that the cause of Walkers death as
unknown to them.
1t is understood that suit for
heavy damages will be instituted
against the Royal, Fidelity Mutual
and National Insurance Companies
by Mrs. Walker.
DR.. Louis Leroy, professor of
bacteriology of Vanderbilt, who re-
moved the viscera at the grave and
who made the analysis, assisted by
DR.. Krauss, of Memphis was on
the stand Saturday. DR.. Leroy
stated that he found nothing in the
viscera indicative of poison, either
mineral or vegetable. All the or
gans except the brain and spleen
were in a good state of preserva-
ton, considering the length of time
they had been inferred. There was
no disease OF the brain indicated,
such as paralysis. The stomach
was slightly congested, and in it
we're found some seed, presumably
blackberry seed. The liver was
normal in size and no indication of
disease. The kidney was softened,
but no indication of disease. The
lungs were in good condition; there
was a slight adhesion. though not
indicating disease OF any severity.
The heart was normal. There was
no known cause of death as far as
witness could see. On cross exam
, ination, witness stated that some
vegetable poisons might decompose
with the body and leave no trace
after twenty;one days, the length
of time the insurance companies
had permitted the body to lie in the
grave before making an investiga-
ton. One of the substances was
nitro penzo, aconite or prussic acid.
Nothing in Walkers symptoms be.

use of aconite. Aconite, of com

thirty to sixty drops. Aconite is
