Inc persons directly concerned with
the inquiry into the suspicious of Mrs.

made to poison the mineral water she
was accustomed to drink, were con-
nected with local private detective
agency. 1t is known that skilled men
pursued an exhaustive inquiry into
every phase of the situation that pre-
sented itself and into every proba bic
phase as we'll and that the final report
failed to implicate any person with
possible motives against Mrs. Stan
IordS life, while the lack of positive
evidence Of the presence of poison in
the water undoubtedly led to the re-
commendation that the inquiry be
dropped.

1t is stated on good authority that

formulated along these lines. and that
the conclusions arrived at were ac-

the findings of the detectives regard
