More Light on Early History OF

Philadelphia, July 1.-The solution of the wilson
poison mystery in this city. which the authorities
declared would be made complete to-day, has not
materazed, and it is admitted that the police are
nearer arrest of the person or persons who
the supposed poison to DR.. Wilson In a bottle
of ale than they on Monday. Since they FIRST
secured something tangible to work on 1t Is ad-
mItted that several important things have de-
veloped that may change the complexion or the

intimate that a woman probably figured In the
case. and If she be found will in all probability
be arrested. Just what this woman may nave 10
do with the will say. The only admis-
sion is that they are looking for a man and
woman
The civil authorities to-day invoked the aid OF
the postal inspectors in the case to assist them In
finding where the letter was mailed which Dr
Wilson received informing him that sample bottle
of ale had been sent to him. Regarding this letter
the officials say that they have declined to make It
public because do would iniure their case,
fact which would be plainly shown by the letter
itself. 1t is stated that the imitation typewriter
letter printed by private individual with an
outfit bought for the purpose and that 1t is known
where the material was purchased with whlch the
work done
That the person who conceived the poison pi~t
clever is proved by the stumbling blocks that
have turned up in the pathway of the authorities
Whoever sent the poison knew all about Dr. VIII
sons life and his habits. The fact that he re-
paired his automobile, and only short time
before the poisoned ale reached him had bought
cyanide of potassium, to be used in brazing a part
of the automobile. is regarded by the police as sig
nifcant, in that it indicates the sender of the
poison which cyanide of potassium, consid-
cred the possibility of making it appear that DIR.
Wilson had poisoned himself either by accident or
design Coroner Jermon says uneQuivocally that
DR.. Wilson did poison himself, either accident

formality of registering physician, 1t was
learned tonight by the police authorities that for
several years he employed by Thomas Cooney,
of Sth and Arch streets, this city, oyster

him he had been janitor at the Philadelphia Coun-
