HIS DEATH EXPLAINED.
Accused Attorney Russell Of Derry, N.
H., Took Paris Green.

Derry, n. H., June 26 The mystery
shroudng the sudden death of Attorney
Russell was cleared away Saturday
when the attending physician stated
publicly that the cause of the unfortu-
nate mans death was due to poison adj
ministered by his own hand, paris green
being the poison used He had hesi-
tated to make the facts public on ac-
count Of the family and the state Of
health OF Mrs. Russell, but as it has
been generally reported and seemed to
be so understood, he could do no less
than admit it as much as he might
regret the circumstances.
1T is believed that Russell took the
fatal dose of poison when he was called
by Deputy Sheriff James s. Webster
from the garden where he was hoeing
his Young vegetables. and as he went
into the shed TO change his oyeralls and
old shoes for his office clothes Rus
sell walked with the sheriff to his own
office at the depot mile distant He
wetn into the law Office there, made
some slight adjustment of books and
papers and then, at the request of the
sheriff. went to the police station where
the sheriff stated he should be obligeds
to place him in the lookup till the bail
should be forthcoming.
As the two walked through the court
room to descend to the basement to
the lookup Russell halted, and being ex-
tremely sick, vomited excessively IN
the mable in the room. The sheriff
noticed that the excretions were of
deep greenish color, and remarked that
he must have taken something, This
was denied
Being so very sick the sheriff walked
back to the law Office with him, where
he was again seized with extreme
nausea and went through similar opera
tions a. at the court room. The sheriff
then called the family physicion and
as Russell grew manifestly worse the
physician requested the sheriff to take
the unfortunate man back to his home
and to remainw ith him during the
night This the sheriff did All
through the night the man grew worse
and died at 7 o'clock in the morning
