twelve months Imprisonment, Mitchell
to nine months and Morrison to six
months. The case grew out of the al

cent mandamus has attracted wide at
tention.
Trlo Released on Bail.

States court of appeals of the District
OF Columbia all three defendants were
released on bail, the amount being
fixed as follows:
Gompers, $4,000; Mitchell, $4,000,

company furnished the bonds.

TRACING POlSCNS.
The Power of Analysis of the Modern
Chemist.


The ancients had no knowledge
of ptomaines, and evidence points
to the fact that most of their re-
nown as prisoners was achieved by
the simplest means. We know that
powdered glass was used with dire
effect. Arsenic undoubtedly was a
prime favorite with wicked Italian
and French court ladies. 1t should
be remembered that until the Sec
ond quarter of the nineteenth CEN
tury arsenic could not be identified
with certainty in the body Of one
who died from it. Now it is the
most easily recognized of all poi
sons.
Tafania, the notorious italian tc-
male poisoncr, used arsenic. She
gained large sums of money by the
sale of mysterious preparations
which were merely solutions Of
arsenic acid. These were so'd in
small walls bearing the image oi Il
saint.
To detect the presence of poison
an analytical chemist may spend
many DAYS with test tube, watch
glass, rca4cnt and microscope, Even
| if death has been caused BY r".-
son whose mere smell has hcrn fl
tai, truth will ont. and there is
more than orc poison Of this *"'','e
