CITY CHEMIST DECLARES
CAN GIVEN HIM WAS EMPTY

e. H. Miller, city chemist, who is
charged by Harper E. Bennett with re-
sponsibility for the fact that Bennett
is on trial for the murder of his wife
because he refused to examine the con-
tents of a can of chilli con carne, adj
mitted yesterday that he had refused
to make AN analysis and gave a reason
which if substantiated will exonerate
him before the board of health. Miller
claims there were no contents in the
can to examine.
THE can they gave me was perfect
ly. empty and had there been ptomaine
poison in the contents l would not have
been able to establish it from the
empty can" said Miller. "They also
charge that 1 lost the can. l returned
it as soon as 1 found an analysis was
impossible"
Miller is cited to appear before the
board of health at it's meeting next
Tuesday night and answer charge of
dereliction of duty for failing to make
the required analysis. Benefits at
torneys claim that had the examina-
ton been made they would have been
able to offer it in evidence and have
the murder trial dismissed.

gagged In mining operations. He went
to Tombstone in the early days OF

critics which made him wealthy.

band, Mrs. Riley. who is much younger
than the judge was, also had lodgings

was dropped.
