ford took capsule for her
heart the night preceding her DEATH
This capsule contained as one of its
ingredients minute quantity OF
strychnine. 1t was not enough to kill"
DR.. Morgan was asked if, in the light
of his statement, concurring with the
statement of DR.. Jordan, that Mrs
Stanford's death was due to natural
causes. it would be logical to presume
that there was no strychnine in the
bicarbonate of soda she had taken
prior to her death, providing she had
partaken of the same bicarbonate or
soda as was examined by the chemists.
or that the compound of soda taken
contained such a small quantity of the
poison as to be harmless. He replied
with a shrug of the shoulders that he
could not say, again stating that he
was forbidden to discuss the case.
A physician who was employed by
the Stanford estate to examine Mrs
Stanford's heart but who refused to
allow his name to be used, last night
said: IF you will take the report of
the proceedings of the inquest in Ho-
nolulu you will find that Dr. Edmund
Shorey, chemist of the United States
Agricultural Station, and r. A. Dun
can, Food Commissioner and Chemical
Analyst of the Honolulu Health Board,
stated under oath that they could not
say that they found strychnine in the
corpse of Mrs. Stanford. Both of these
men are of the highest standing in
their calling. The could not find evil
dence of strychnine poisoning. There
was a preconcerted effort on the part
of some physicians in Honolulu to
make out the cause of Mrs. Stanford's
death as due to strychnine."
The same doctor gave out the inti-
nation that an attempt had been made
to poison Mrs Stanford, but that it had
not been successful.
1t would seem only logical to pre-
sumo in the light Of the statements
made last night by DR. Morgan that he
found no VEGETABLE quantity of strych-
nine in the bicarbonate of soda exam

however, die of fatty degeneration OF

lesion; just what it was I am not pre-
pared to say"
DIR. Morgan was 10th to talk On the
case. His reason for reticence regard
ing the findings in the Stanford case
was that he had been retained for his
chemical and medical assistance, pro-
viding that he report, and report alone,
to Mountford Wilson, attorney for the
Stanford estate.
DR.. Morgan examined Some Of the
alleged strychnine-po bicarbon-
ate of soda and filed his report with
Wilson. He would not state whether
he found strychnine in the powder. He
said that he was not given the work
of examining Mrs. Stanford's heart. He
saw it, however, saw the report, and
knew that the death of Mrs. Stanford
had been due to a heart lesion. He

retained in the case and they made the
report in regard to the hearts condi-
ton. The report was signed jointly by
all the physicians connected with the
case.
The report of the chemists and ply
sicians has been in the hands of At
torney Wilson since May. DR.. Morgan
stated that Wilson had intended to
make the same public last June, having
received the written consent of the
relatives of Mrs. Stanford. DR.. Nor
gan says other information was being
looked up, and the publication of the
report was withheld for the present.
DR.. Morgan said, in conclusion: Mrs.
Stanford died of natural causes. She
did not die of strychnine poisoning.
Whether an attempt to poison her by
means of strychnine was made, l can
not say. I did not do any detective
work on the case, but merely did the
chemical testing that was allotted to
me.

DENVER. Dec. 3O-The death of the
late Mrs. Jane L. Stanford, patroness of
Leland Stanford, Jr., University, was
made the basis for dastardly plot to
secure big fees for the Honolulu Off
Gals, according to David Starr Jordan,
president of the university, who is in
Denver
Furthermore DIR. Jordan intimates
that the report that Mrs. Stanford was
murdered was part of plot on the
part of several of Mrs. Stanford s
servants who were jealous of the favor
with which Mrs. Stanford treated Miss
Berner. her private secretary. 1t is
limited that they hoped, by spreading a
rumor that Mrs. Stanford had been
poisoned, to jeopardize Miss Berner' s
bequest.
1--WE have established beyond a
doubt that Mrs Stanford died natu-
raj DEATH said DIR. Jordan this morn
ing. - A post-mortem examination de-
veloped that the aorta had been rup-
tured This was the result of fatty de-
generation of the heart. The heart is
now in San Francisco, where it is be-
ing preserved. -
According to DR.. Jordan no strych-
nine was found in Mrs. Stanford s
room. Reports were circulated by the
officials of Honolulu that a large guam
tity of poison had been discovered.
The Sheriff went so far as to say that
a bottle containing 600 grains had
been found, but this, DR.. Jordan de-
c1ares, had not proved true.
DIR. Jordan and other friends of the
late Mrs Stanford have baoo conduct
ing an investigation since her sudden
death on March l last. 1t has uncov-
cred startling array of facts, he says,
but none that point to murder. He
declares that within few weeks
full report of the discoveries in con-
nection with the affair viii be made
public. and he gives the impression
that sensations will follow. What they
are DR.. Jordan refuses to reveal

In spite of the declarations of Mr.
Lathrop that he knows nothing about
the case the general feeling in Palo
Alto among those who are close to the
business management of the university
is that a most searching investigation
has been conducted concerning the
death of Mrs. Stanford.
A man VINO is very close to the man.
agement said last night that he had
been told by a member of the univers-
ity board of trustees that the board
had been conducting an investigation
and taken up every phase of the case.
A great deal of money has been spent
in clearing up the mystery surround
ing the woman's death, with the re-
suit that now every iota of evidence
connected with the case has been
slfted fout. Detectives have been at
work since the hour of her death and
only completed their work a few
weeks ago. Chemists in San Francisco
have been examining the vitals of Mrs.
Stanford and subjecting them to
severe chemical tests to find out
whether they had been affected by any
poison
It was proved that Mrs. Stanford
did not die of poison, but from heart
trouble. caused probably by overhead
ing on the day of the picnic, which
she and her companion, Bertha Berner,
attended. It is a matter of proof that
the other servants about the house
tried to cause the impression that Miss
Berner had placed the poison in the
water the first time Mrs. Stanford COM
planned. So much has been unearthed,
and probably much more, which the
trustees have not made public. It is
said on good authority, however, that
the trustees were very angry at the
Honolulu physicians who worked upon
the case and alleged at the time that
they were incompetent.
When asked questions along these
lines Mr.. Lathrop refused to talk, say
ing that DIR. Jordan had done all the
talking, and that he must answer all
questions He evidently was not
pleased that the head of the uni
versity had given out any information.

equally reticent on the subject. DR..

BUFFALO, Dec. Bishop Walker at IL
O'Clock this morning formally deposed the
Rev. DR.. Algernon 5. Crapsey of st. An

misunderstood what Bishop Walker intended
merely as courtesy. Nobody asked Dr.
Crapsey to keep the Bishops communication
a secret.
There was no reason for sending Dr. Crap
sew any notice Of when the deposition would
be declared except the Bishops personal
desire to be courteous. There was no rea-
son why the Bishop should desire to keep
the matter secret.
IL is not in the power Of DR.. Crapsey or
any one else except the Bishop to determine
whether the sentence should be privately
or publicly pronounced or TO fix the time
when it. should he pronounced The Bishop
might have deposed Dr. Crapsey instantly
upon his receipt Of the letter of remuneration
over a W eek ago. but he respected the doctors
request that action be delayed until after
