Late Visits.

EDINBURGH. Jan. 81. a. Davis,
formerly the night porter at the aristo-
cratic Caledonian Hotel, today gave tie
most sensational testimony against
James Alexander Stirling that has yet
been brought out in the counter divorce
petitions Of Stirling and his wife.
Davis said that he had often admitted
Mrs. Mabel Atherton. named by Mrs.
Stirling as correspondent, and a man 10
the hotel at early hours IN the morn
ing, and that they always went to Mrs
Atherton's rooms He never noticed at
what hour the man left.
Identifies Man.
Stirling was pointed out to the wit
ness, and the latter said there was no
mistake aut that he was the man whom
he had seen accompanying Mrs. Ather-
con.
Strings counsel made a vigorous
fight ta exclude Davis testimony, but
Lord Guthrie ruled against him.
Mr.. Sterling, the husband. when on
the stand yesterday, among other
things, said:
When / arrived at home unexpecL-
ediy after a motor run from Amberley,
found the front door on the chain
and was compelled TO wait some time
before my wife, in evening dress, open

POISON IS IS FOUND
IN THE STAGE WINE
Chemist Makes Startling
Discovery in Case of ANA
teur Actor S Death.

MARYDEE, Nd, Jan. 2--It IS stated
today upon good authority that bichlor-
ide OF mercury was found In some OF
the fluid which States Attorney Elmer
Deem. OF Denton. sent 10 State Chemist
Pennimali. at Baltimore, for analysis
IN the case of Charles Pippin, who
died here a few weeks ago after drink
ing some stage wine in an amateur
play in which he had a leading part.
It is believed that one Of the bottles
used in the play contained a solution Of
bichlorlde OF mercury. which had been
used by some one for anuseptic pur-
poses. and which had not been properly
cleaned.
The most mysterious phase OF the
whole case, however. was the hanging
of a black flag over the school house
at which Pippin's sweetheart taught.
The verdict of the coroners jury was
simply that Pippin died from poison, the
nature OF which was unknown 70 the
jury.
