Robert Louis Stevenson In "The

more disquieting than the dilemma OF
G. II. Parr. of Nelson county, who
called at Governor Mann's Office yes
terday to seek advice and consolation.
Mr.. Parr had in his possession a
human stomach which was supposed
to contain poison. and he vas in mo,
mentary fear that it would explode
with fatalaresults from the accumula-
ton of gas.
Unwilling to relinquish his sacred
trust until 1t had reached the hands OF
a chemist. Mr.. Parr. who is n special
officer. was distinctly III q pickle. The
stomach was in a glass jar, this ma

rotary Ben Owen. II don't want to
wreck a hostelry. If I carry it on the

me and a platoon of innocent by
ISLANDERS up into the air. What can
I do?''
Until last week the stomach was
the property OF one Frank Howell.
who lived near Massie's Mill. He died
rather suddenly. Local physicians
examined the stomach and found
strychnine. A young man of the
neighborhood has been missing since
the crime, according to Mr.. Parr. 1t
is said that there is evidence to show
that he purchased poison from a
drug firm in Lynchburg. The name
of a woman is used in connection with
the affair.
Secretary owen got in communica-
tion with Commemorative Attorney
,, Whitehead, of Nelson, who. thinking
the charge of local chemist for
analysis rather high. advised that the
stomach be taken to the University
| of Virginia. Mr.. Parr has been
warned that the gas in the lar may
cause an explosion at any moment.
There may be train wreck in a
few hours" he said as he left tho
