An Added Mystery in the
Twigg'E|osser Deaths.
Sister Of Dead Girl Also SUI
tered Same Symptoms.
The Father and Doctors Differ a.
10 the Death Scene.

Cumberland. Md, Jan. 9.-Sensa
tons followed in rapid succession Sat
urday at the inquest into the deaths of
Grace Elo3ser and Charles Edward
1'Wigg, who were found dead beside
each other, Oh couch in the parlor oil
the young womans home here. They
were to have been married on Monday.
The first fact not known before was
revealed b. Dr.. W. r. Foard. one of
tile doctors called to the Elosser home,
when he told how he had found May
Elosser, sister of the dead woman, in
a swoon on the floor, frothing at the
mouth and almost dying apparently
from the poison, which had killed her
sister and her prospective brother-ln-
law. The theory is now held that the
poison was taken in vine.
This evidence startled Coroner Beall
and District Attorney Robb. who are
conducting the inquest. 1t had been
matter of general knowledge that be
fore transferring his affections II
Grace F,losser. Twigg had been attent-
i've to May EloSser. who is pretty and
yivacious. as was her sister. II ais
had been brought out that Grace Elos-
ser ard her sister May had not spoken
for weeks following the announcement
of the engagement of Grace Elosser
and TwigG
Contrary to expectations, DIR. George
H. Brodrup another of the doctors called
by members of the Elossor family, testi-
fled that he had found two glasses upon
the piano in the paror. and it was his
impression that the cyanide Of potassium
icl, Typrrr "a 4
died had been taken in these glasses.
DR.. Brqdrup also testified that when
he reached the house he saw May Elos-
ser lying on the floor. Her eyes were
staring, he said, as though she had taken
poison.
What are the symptoms of cyanide of
potassium when taken in slight doses"'
DR., Brodrup was asked.
"Clenched hands-Convulsions.' he an
swered.
Did you find this condition in May
Elosser?'
II did
Would such commissions as you found
May suffering from indicate that
she had taken some of the same poison
| that caused the death of Grace Elosser
and Twigg?'
| They would. She was blood-frosted at
the mouth, and this would not result
| from a faint due to shock"
| did the stare in Mays eyes present
an appearance similar to the stare In the
eyes of Twigg and Grace Elosser?"
| 1T did"
| Louis F. Elosser, father of the dead
girl, declared positively that only Grace
| Elosser and Twigg were in the parlor at
the time of the tragedy. He said both
had gone to their deaths with smiles on
their lips. The testifying physicians ali
declared that both had died in the great
est agony, their hands being clenched
the young woman's at her side and
Twigg's clutching at his hair
Coroner Beall brought out the fact that
just prior to her death Grace Elossel
had eaten some fruit cake and had drunk
some wine. 1t Is the belief of the ply 81
clans that the poison was given to the
young woman in this wine or In the cake

San Francisco. Jan. 9.-Owing to
dangerous cross-currents of wind that
swept across the peninsular sunday.
the aviators at Camp Selfridgc were
forced to give tame exhibition to the
immense crowd that gathered to Wit
ness the flights. The sky was bright
and the wind was low. but the aviators
became cautious after trying out the
treacherous currents.
The only spectacular event OF the
day was sham battle between soldiers
of the I'd Battalion Of the 30th United
States Infantry and aviators Brookins
and Parmalee in Wright biplanes.
From a height of 400 feet the aviators
dropped mock bombs on the soldiers.

For several decades carbolic acid and

the following conclusions appear in
American Medicine;
i. From OF per cent to l per cent
