One of the first signs OF morphine

1t is tricks of that character that the

those of cunning, desperate man

Iona and Careful Search.

The heart, lungs, liver kidneys,
brain and, in fact, nearly every inter
nal organ of the dead man were taken
from the body, Theoretically sealed in
Jars and taken to the laboratory of
Prof Doremus. Then began a per
sistent search for poison.
There was no clew, There was moth
ing to aid the chemical detective in
his search, The entire case was a
negative one. The only course open
to him was by a process of elimina-
ton to seek the poison. If poison it
was, that caused the death of the man.
First he searched for the volatile
poisons, such as chloroform. ether and
prussic acid Patiently he sat for
hours at a time watching one test
after another. waiting for precipitate
that would show him trace of the
poison he was seeking. None came.
Then he tested for vegetable pois-
ons. such as morphine, strychnine,
atropine and the alkaloid poisons. The
same tedious process through which
he had gone once had to be gone
through again. And still there was no
trace of poison.
There still remained the mineral
poisons, such as lead, copper, arsenic
and anthony. And in the tests for
these was there at last reward for
the persistency of the detective. He
found arsenic in large quantities, and
