POISONING THEORY
Brother Of Woman Who Died
While Under Doctors Care
Said to Be His Muir
derer.
PHYSICIAN WAS POISONED
Sample Bottle OF Ale Sent TO Him
With Forged Letter Signed With
Brewers Name.

Philadelphia, June 29,---The laying
bare OF a most sensational murder is,
promised by the authorities In the
case of DR.. William II, Wilson Of this
city, who died at his home in Friday
night after drinking portion of a
bottle of ale which had been sent to
him for trial through the MAILS.
An autopsy performed by the ooro-
ner's physicians and an examination
made OF the yiseera taken from the
body to-day. according TO the coroner,
proves conelusively that DR. Wilson
died of cyanide OF potassium poison
ing. The ale came To the physician
on Tuesday week ago by express
and in the mail on the same day he
received letter in typewriter form
purporting to have been sent by a
brewing company OF this city, inform
ing HON that sample bottle OF ale
had been sent to him for trial In
vestigation showed according 20 the
police authorities. that the brewing
company never sent any such letter
as that received by the physician.
DR.. Wilson put the ale In retrigera-
tor and went to his country home at
Cornwells, just outside the city. He
returned Friday and decided to try the
pint bottle of ale which he had re-
ceived. He had scarcely swallowed half
glass of the beverage when he was
seized with convuleions and fell &c
tho floor. It is declared that he i'm
mediately realized that he was the VIC
tim of poisoning either by mistake OF
design, for in his agony he requested
lis wife who had not yet touched hei
portion of the ale. to keep that which
vas left as It did not taste right
That was the last thing he was able
to say and he died before the hospta
was reached.
Unusual as are the poisoning feat
ures of the case more extraordinary
is the motive which the police officials
assign for what they are certain Is q
murder, Though DIR. Wilson had beer
living for more than twelve years IN
the house where he drank the fata
potion, he never put out physicians
sign and was not known in a genera
sense as practitioner. Withal ht
had a large clientele, made up mostly
the police officials assert, Of promi
nent women. The police officials hav,
learned, they allege, that DR.. Wilson
attended during fatal illness a mem
Der Of the family of a young man VIII,
will be charged with being the poison
re
The death, It is alleged, caused Tia
young man to brood until he could n
: longer contain himself, when he sough
to put an end to the physicians rrae
tees by sending him poison, rather tina
go into court and have his family his
tory exposed to the world
This is the remarkable story whic
the police have unearthed In thei
three days investigation of the strang
death Of DR. Wilson. How soon the au
thoritles will be ready to act In tn
case, they will not say, nor will the
