WAS CARB0LIC ACID
Chemist Harms Says That Poison
Caused Death Of George
r. LittlefeId

The coroner's jury in the inquest over
the remains Of George H. LittleheId,
who was found in a dying condition
in Commercial alley on June 6, returned
a verdict yesterday afternoon that the
deceased had come to his death from
carbOlic acid poisoning, but in a man
ner unknown to the jury, which was
not able to express an opinion as to
whether the acid was administered by
Littleheld with suicidal intent or by ac-
cident, or by some other party. The
police hold to the theory that the poi
son was taken with suicidal intent and
they have dropped the case.
The inquest was held in Judge T. H.
Clark's court YESTERDAY The princi-
pal witness was City Chemist Herman
EARNS. He made a thorough test OF
Littleheld'S stomach and his report to
the jury contained a detailed account
Of what he found. He stated that he
discovered al least thirty grains OF
carbOlic acid in the stomach in crys-
talline form and that probably as much
more had been absorbed by the stOm-
ach. 1t was his opinion that the poi
son had been taken in beer, and this,
was not able to discover the nature
Of the drug at the autopsy. The beer
had the effect Of Disgusting the taste
and odor of the acid.
After listening TO the report Of Mr..
Harms, the jury. composed Of John
Beck, w. T. Edwards and T. r. Shurt-
Ieff, retired and brought in its verdict.
The police do not believe that Little
field was given the drug by anyone
else, and as a consequence they do not
propose TO investigate any further.

One feature in particular that is to

BY some it has been claimed that
more water is fed into the inland sea
In this manner than by the streams.
The rise and fall Of the lake has even
been attributed to the fluctuations in
the flow of these springs. Adherents

Argument For the Theory.
AS an argument in favor of the sub
