Drank Water Containing StryohnIne
The Collins hotel was the scene of a
mysterious death Monday night and ii
was necessary TO hold an inquest 10
clear the matter up. the jury bringing
in verdict of death by strychnine
taken with suicidal intent. -
Some weeks ago young man named
w. l.. Hoskinson and wife arrived in
this city from Eureka Springs. Hos
kinson was a railroad fireman and was
seeking employment on the Iron Mount
ain road. While here they have been
stopping at the Collins hotel. Thurs.
day morning Hoskinson left and stated
to his wife, so she says, that if he re-
turned alive he would be dead anyway
before morning That night Mrs. Hos
kinson went to the theater When she
returned to their room Hoskinson was
there and in few minutes was taken
violently Ill. She called for assistance
and to Mr.. Whitaker, proprietor of the
hotel, Hoskinson stated he had taken
drink OF water from glass sitting on
the dresser and it made him sick. Ply
sicians were summoned and worked
with him but he died in about an hour.
Behind the dresser was found a box
that had contained strychnine which
had been purchased in Fort Smith.
The woman seemed to be quite simple
minded and but little could be cleaned
from her testimony aside from the
above. Her statements even throw
doubt on her being the man wife, as
she could not state when, how, or by
whom they were married.
Thursday Little Rock Gazette con-
tanned special from Eureka Springs
to the effect that Hoskinson had u wife
and son living there, whom he had
abandoned, The woman living here
with him, while strikingly good look
ing, was very illiterate and had evident
ly been made the dupe of Hoskinson.
She was furnished money and left Wed
nesday for her home near Rogers.
Hoskinson s remains were shipped to
Eureka Springs for burial.
