The report of the chemist. Frank

Johnston did not die of natural causes.
but whether the poison was taken
accidentally. or with suicidal intent,

person, is the question that now per

Daughter to Tell Her Story.
Ten witnesses have been summoned
by Coroner L. V. EcHhart to appear
before the jury in the village at IL
o'csocl tomorrow morning. One of
these is Miss Johnston. the adopted
daughter of the deceased. In the earli-
CT stories regarding the death of Mr.

that the girl Was not present in the

her brother. Mrs. Johnston declared
hat her daughter was at the table
with her father eating the morning
meal when he was taken sick Sac
| admitted that the girl had been sent
on an errand, but was back at the
house before the fatal attacl: came on
her father. Whether the girl was
present or not is considered an i'm
portant point by the coroner and 1t
is for the purpose of gaining her state
ment under oath that he has sum
moned her to appear before the jury.
Several Relatives Summoned.
Several of the others who have been
called upon to relate what they know
of the circumstances of Mr.. Johnston )
death are relatives of the deceased.
Mr.. Weaver, a brother-in-.aw, held
Mr.. Johnston in his arms while he was
| dying. He said that Mr.. Johnston
pleaded with Dr. Moore to do some
thing to relieve him, but was able to
| utter only a few words that were in
telligible. Mr.. Weaver advanced the
| theory that metal poisoning from 4
spoon that had been left over night
in Saltpeter that Mr.. Johnston drank
on the morning of his death might
i, have produced the commissions, but
that is taken to have been dissipated
by the findings of the chemist. Mrs.
Johnston has not thus far been or
dered to come before the jury. She
is in Reynolds living with her daugi-
ter at the homestead.
