Cause of Bertrand Deaths not
yet Determined.
No Indications of Poison
Found in the Stomach Sent
to Madison.

Another surprise was brought
about in what has been termed
the "Behrand Poisoning Case"
Sunday evening when the report
of the state chemist to whom the
stomach of the mother was sent
for analysis, was received. It
was expected that by the analy-
sis the nature of the poison could
be determined and this would
have given the authorities some
clew upon which to work. The
report stated that there was no
indication of poison of any kind
found in the stomach alth ough a
most careful examination had
been made. In the report it
was stated that if any poison had
been used that all trace of it had
disappeared by the time that the
analysis was made. The report
intimated that hydrocyanic acid
might have been used, but this
is altogether improbable. Hydro
cyanic acid is extremely poison
ousand most dangerous to handle.
1t is a colorless acid and some
times called prussic acid. It
acts very quickly. causing death
in from three to forty minutes,
although some cases have even
taken a short time longer than
this. The poison has a peculiar
odor by which it could be easily
told. 1t is easily dissolved and
would leave little trace after q
time. ~
Everyone who was at al! fam
liar with the case were greatly
surprised at the report as every
thing indicated poisoning in the
eases of the entire family. Now
there is no clew left upon which
to work out the cause of the
deaths. The attending physi-
clans in signing the death certi-
ficates placed the cause of the
deaths as due to some unknown
poison, and it will probably for
ever be unknown.
The coroner's jury which was
called shortly after the death of
the mother and child was ad-
iourned to await the report OF
the chemist. and they will be
called together again and dis
missed.

The Bertrand poison case &C.
cured on the 1st of February.
When neighbors arrived at the
home on west third street short
Iy before noon they found the
father lying upon the floor part
ly dressed, the mother was found
dead upon the floor in one of the
bedrooms, and the children were
lying upon the beds in two rooms
writhing in their pain. The
doctors worked hard to save the
lives of the children, but one
passed away the following day.
The others however recovered.
None of the surviving members
| of the family are able to suggest
anything that was likely to have
been the cause of the deaths and
sickness, although they have been
thoroughly questioned by the
authorities. The articles of food
found in the house we're all taken
and these have been tested for
poison, being fed to animals, but
no bad effects resulted, so that
the poison food theory was
dropped. The family history has
been traced back for nearly
twenty-five years, and every pos
sible clew has been investigated
without result. The case from
the beginning has been a most
peculiar one and will no doubt
ever remain an unsolved mys-
terry.
w. M. Bertrand and family
have left the city, moving to
North Dakota. They came to
this city from Minneapolis.
They formerly lived at Eau
Claire and Menomonie.
