stood that several Of the doctors who

fled that he found post-portem changes

red and infiamcd condition of the throat.
There was a red streak all the way
through and down the aesophagus and the
stomach was lnfamed, especially where
the fluid was held in check. DR.. koon
stated that death in both cases was from
no other form OF poisoning than cyanide,
in his opinion.

officer, who assisted in the autopsy and
at the chemical analysis. stated that the
outlets were infiarned from the presence

reactions of the cyanide were delicate,
but positive He could not say, how
ever, whether the poison had been taken
in liquid a solid condition He could
not tell whether the cyanide was taken in

DR.. George Barker, expert chemist
found traces of cyanide poisoning, but
none of alkaloid or metallic poisoning.

after the pair We're found dead, testified
to having treated May Elosser, sister OF
the dead girl. who was in faint. and
he found that her condition indicated
cyanide poisoning of non-fatal type
DR.. George l.. Broadrup, who was also
called. said he was forcibly struck by
