Mr. Lyon and sheriff sharp went To
kountiful last night to talk with Me
Donald He stated that he had pur-
chased several bottles OF acids from
Elder and other drugs but no arsenic.
He called at Elders house In the
morning and looked over the drugs
that ne had. Mcdonald SAYS that he
saw several baking powder cans
which contained drugs. but he does
not remember that they were labeled.
The drugs that were useful TO him he
packed In a box and set &c on the
shelf with the cans that contained
the powder Mrs. Elder Elders moth
