Hoffman and his men took charge Of
the body. The vital organs were ex-
amined and showed the same grew
some traces Of green that were found
Saturday when the body of Richard
Smith was exhumed at North Hender-
son.
The green was accepted as the al
most conclusive evidence that death
was the result Of arsenical poisoning.

tectives who were in death ft' Sat
