Sheriff Harris Of Honolulu, stating that
there We're no less than 662 grains Of
strychnine in the bottle OF bi-carbonate
Of soda OF which Mrs. Jane Stanford took
a dose shortly before her demise, has
aroused the detective force OF this city
and every effort is being made 20 discover
who placed the poison IN the harmless

carbonate OF soda and the strychnine
were purchased here and the latter drop

With the Stanford household

Of soda and It's death potion originally

the bottle was rehlled ia tais city al a
local drug store.
DR. w G. Stevens, a medical expert
today made this positive statemnet:
"Six hundred and sixty-two grains OF
strychnine would easily kin 662 persons.
The maximum amount administered is
only one-hfteenth OF a grain, while the
average is one-fourth OF a grain"
Louis Falkenau. who made the analy-
sis Of the mineral water drunk by Mrs.
Stanford last January, and which was
poisoned with strychnine. said today;
''Suychnine and bi-carbonate Of soda
can not be detected easily. Soda has a
crystalline appearance and looks some
thing like strychnine, 1t would require
an expert to detect the presence oc
strychnine, bat II could be done very
readily"
