Internal Organs Sent to BOwdOin
Medical College for Examination.
Sheriff John A. Mooers has received
a report from the Bowdoin Medical
college that no mineral poison was
found in the various internal organs
of the late Horace Parker whose body
was recently exhumed from the Gene
terry in East ST. Adams. The organs
which were the stomach, heart, liver,
kidneys and spleen of the dead man
we're sent to Brunswick for examina-
ton by Sheriff Mooers.
There is more or less mystery sur
rounding the death of Parker which
occurred several weeks ago at his
home in Lexington. He had been
working in Ripley during the summer
and went to his home few days prev
ious to his death. He was apparently
in his usual health after his return
but was found dead in bed, and as a
result the relatives of the deceased
suspected foul play. Investigations
were made by the authorities along
the lines of poison but have disposed
of that theory.
