to one of the judges he expresses the
opinions which justify our courts and

FOUND POISON
IN BEST'S BODY
Autopsy Reveals Evidence of
Foul Play in New Jersey
Case
STOMACH FILLED WITH SAWDUST

Newark, n. J., July 1O--The author
itios have found evidences Of a power
ful irritant poison in the body of tho
late Colonel William ]. Best, which
was cxhumed in the cemetery in Cald-
well, N. j.. and examened by County
Physician William j, Mckenzie, Of
Essex county, ~ J. DR.. Herbert b.
Baldwin. chemist of the Newark board
OF health made a preliminary chemi-
cal test of the one piece of intestine
that was found still adhering to the
body of Colonel Best. and he an
lounced the discovery of the evidences
OF poison in the body to Charles Sum-
rer Best, a son of the dead man.
Colonel Best died at the home Of
"DT." John d. Woods, at San Rafael,
Cal. last April.
When the autopsy was made, in ac-
cordance with the desire of the Cali
fornia authorities and the relatives, it
been opened once before, in all likeli-
hood before it was sent east, and that
the stomach. the digestive and other
organs, together with the lungs, had
been removed. Sawdust had been in
serted where they had been. and while
some of the other organs were in
place. there was every evidence they
had been disturbed.
Then. when it came to a search for
evidence of the insertion of a hypoder-
mic needle before death, the physi-
clans were unable to discover any
puncture of the skin, even such as is
made usually in Che process of en-
balming. That the body had been
embalmed there was no doubt. How
it was done was a question which puz-
zled the physicians until they made a
careful internal examination. They
found then that the embalming fluid
had been injected from the inside.
through a large vein. which, il was
seen, had first been broken and then
tied.
All tho physicians agreed that every
precauticn had been taken to prevent
any light being thrown on the cause
Of the colonels death and that no one
could say whether it was the result
of irrtant poisCil or otherwise.
But If this was the result of design
the person responsible overlooked one
important matter. He failed to do
what he should have done had he de-
sired to have the cause of death, as
set down in the certificate which was
sent here from the west, so uncontra-
dicted. In this It was stated that
Colonel Best had succumbed to cere-
bral apoplexy. Were this the fact the
brain would disclose it. and the skull
had not been opened.
Nothing has been learned yet of the
whereabouts of Dr. John d. Woods, in
whose home, in San Rafael, Colonel
Best died. and who, with the woman
who posed there as his sister, but who
is said to be his wife, disappeared
from Atlantic City, n. j., the night be-
fore he was to tell all he knew about
the colonel's illness and death to the
sons of the dead man.
From San Rafael comes the news
that DR.. Woods and his wife are to be
arrested and that warrants were is
sued for them. charging them with
murder. District Attorney Boyd, OF
San Rafael, said that he had in his
possession evidence which would show
that Colonel Best's death was the re
suit of foul play.

of Tammany Hall" All This is to
say that no citizens who have not
hailed Tammany Hall always as the

may be taken for wisdom in Texas.

this aggregation of corruption and
