IMAGININGS BROUGHT ON
BY ACE AND GRIEF ARE
ONE VERSION OF MYSTERY
IN FEAR OF POISONING
Charles Lathrop and Intimate
Friends Do Not Credit
Murder Theory.

The news Of the death Of Mrs Stan
ford was q shock to San Francisco, and
crowds were gathered about the bull
letin board during.the day, craning fof
the meager accounts that came over
the ocean cable. Charles G. Lathrop.
Mrs. Stanford's brother, sought ener-
getically throughout the day to get def
mite particulars, but until a late hour
his information was gained altogether
from the press reports.
Mr.. Lathrop would place no credence
in the version that came so persistently
in the news dispatches that his sister
had been poisoned. He gave out a
statement that he did not believe the
sensational reports. In this he was
supported by Mountford s. Wilson,
Mrs. Stanford's attorney. They were
agreed that Honolulu had become over
excited and that dispatches were being
sent out recklessly.
The fact that death had followed so
closely on reported attempt on the
life OF Mrs. Stanford in this city by
means of poison did not seem to give
sion for misgiIngs. And many of
woman intimately shook their heads in
doubt as to- the tales of poisoning.
By them the suggestion is put for
ward that Mrs. Stanford was the VIC
tim of an unfortunate hallucination
that she was to be poisoned. Her ex-.

lcontents of the bottle TO determine
whether or not the stuff contained

that Duncan had found strychnine in
the medicine, but up to a late hour
the rumor was not officially con-
firmed.
High Sheriff Henry and Deputy
Sheriff Rawlins at once began an in
Vesugauon into the case and have en-
listed the services of the police. IT is
not likely that any developments will
occur till the contents of Mrs. STAN
ford's stomach have been analyzed.
This will not take place for several
days.
In accordance with the law. a Cor
oners jury was summoned to view the
remains of the dead woman. The jury
viewed the room where Mrs. Stanford
died, but made no report. The Jury
consisted of W. c. Peacock, proprietor
of the Moana Hotel; j. H. Hertsche.

1t was on January IA. that Mrs.
Stanford drank what she afterward
said was a fatal potion at her resi-

were employed. but after most diligent
effort they failed utterly to incrimi-
nate any one. The Poland water, in
which the poison was thought to have
been placed, was submitted to a

given out as to the result of this, but
inasmuch as the investigation was

The San Francisco call., 1905-03-02

Mrs. Stanford had told friends In
Honolulu that she left San Francisco
TO escape the murdeFous purposes OF
people who. she said. were bent on
taking her life by poisoning her with
strycnnine- But her physician in this
CITY says that he advised her TO seek
more salubrious cline for the bron-
fered.

10 whom she was devoted in deep az
fectiou.
The result was that she brooded until
her mind gave way under the strain
and the strange hallucination Develop
ed that her life was being sought
through the cruel means OF poison.
She never could point the finger OF
suspicion to any one. nor were the de-
tectives. who did their utmost toe dis
cover the slightest clew to the identity
OF any person who might have purpose
of murder
On the other hand, II the suspicious
circumstances attending the death OF
Mrs. Stanford develop into proof that
her life was taken the crime will an
pail the civilized world. A late cable
from Honolulu says that the bottle OF
bicarbonite OF soda from which she
partook before retiring for the night
was filed in San Francisco and had
not been opened before she took this
last potion to soothe her disturbed
stomach.
Captain Of Detectives Burnett cabled
for particulars last night, believing
that there might be important work
for him to do In this city.
The local police gave attention In
January TO the report that Mrs. STAN
ford had been poisoned at her resi-
dence on Mob Hill and gave It a thor
ough sitting. The conclusion reached
went far to strengthen the suspicion
that the mind Of Mrs. Stanford was
weakening and that the dread In
which she lived had no foundation In
fact. But the evidence OF crime ap-
pearing to be much stronger at Homo
lulu, the authorities were asked by
cable last night to communicate the
results OF the analyses to this city, so
that Investigations can be prosecuted
In this city. The idea Is secuted by
Acting Chief Spillane that Miss Bertha
Berner, Mrs. Stanford's private secre-
tary, or Miss May Hunt, her maid.
could In any way be implicated. The
police In Honolulu have them under
surveillance.
