and that in that time he had sold her chloroform for the same purpose, per haps ten or a dozen times. Sometimes weeks and even months would elapse between these sales, according to the state of her health.
 When she came into the store on Sunday she announced that she had had a particularly severe attack of as thma and would have to get some more chloroform. During her stay in the store while she was being waited on she conversed cheerily and told an anus ing incident or two that created a laugh. She was always jelly and seem ed on Sunday to be in even a better humor than usual. Concluding her bus mess in the drug store she went to a nearby place and bought some fruit and some gum, which it is hardly likely she would have done had she then been contemplating death.
 Mrs. Marguerite Locker. who lived in the house with her and who was the first to discover her death, testified that she and her escort left the house about S:45 Sunday night to attend a picture show and that Mrs. Pierson kissed her goodbye as was her custom whenever she went out in the evening. charging her to return home early.
 Mrs. Pierson was invited to accom- pany them but declined saying she had had a bad day. by which Mrs. Locker understood that she was suffering of asthma.
 Mrs. Locker returned from tAe show about 10:50 as near as she could re- call and passing through the unlighted room spoke to Mrs. PiersOn. She re- ceived no reply but supposed her friend was alseep. After preparing to retire Mrs. Locker returned to the room with a lamp and again spoke to Mrs. Pier son as was her wont before going to bed but there was no answer and on looking at her she saw her head bur jed in the pillow. She threw her arms around her and turned her over when the chlorOform bottle fell from her hand.
 Mrs. Locker said that once before, during their short acquaintance, she had known of Mrs. Pierson using the drug to relieve her asthma and suppos- ing she had this time taken an over dose of it but without appreciating that her friend was dead, she ran to the tel ephone in an adjoining house and sum moned pr. Bell Some one else sum- moned Dr. Hughes who was nearer at hand, but when the physicians arrived they pronounced Mrs. Pierson as hay ing been dead for some little time.
 MT. Pierson said that he was at home until sometime after o'clock when he left for the construction camp where he is employed. He had no knowledge of his wife's use of chloroform but neither could be suggest any possible motive for suicide. They had had no ! trouble and she had seemed as cheer ful as ever when he left home. They had only been married a short time. MT. and Mrs. Kelley of Los Angeles, father and mother of Mrs. Pierson, were notified by wire of their daught- CTS death and replied that they would leave at once for Phoenix. They are expected tc arrive today Until their arrival TO funeral arrangements will be made. The body is at the parlors of Mohn & DViscoll

STRANGE DISCOVERY ON HOSPITAL GROUNDS The Bones and Ashes Of a Prehistoric
 Man Uncovered. Remains Were Contained in OlIa, Covered With Strange
 Figures.

A discovery. similar to that made last week by the workmen of the Pacific Gas and Electric company was mace yesterday at the St. Luke's hospital, where C. c. Sarensen and William Tucker were eXcavating. At about 9 o'clock. when they had gone to a depth of three feet, they un- covered an ancient water jug which measured about eight inches in length, and three inches across the neck The side of the jug was bro ken in. A few minutes later they dug up another piece of pottery GOV cred with ancient inscriptions. the exact form of which could not be deciphered, as the earthenware was hadly broken. The great find of the morning was reserved until a little later, when they broke the dirt away from large olla. apparently filled with some substance other than the earth formation surrounding it. Care fully digging around it, they brought it out without further injury than that it had already sustained. for large piece was found broken away from the side.
 i On examination, the olla. which measured probably sixteen inches in diameter. was found to be filled with huban bones. and light ashes similar to those of a human being after ere nation. The bones were packed away in the dust, and had evidently been burned, but that they were human. the discovery of a human tooth in the mass proved beyond doubt
 The earthenware was of a fine quality beautifully formed, and cov- cred with inscriptions which without question had a meaning to the an cient people who inferred the bones and ashes. It is not improbable that the workmen violated the grave of a great chieftain, whose body was ere mated. with heather rites and cere- monies. and the remaining bones ana ashes gathered together for bu- rial in the large olla. The beauty of the pottery would tend to justify such an idea.
 There is no way to determine the age in which the ola, with it's last remains of a prehistoric man, was buried, and the secret of this dis covery, with many others of recent times, must remain shrouded in mys- tery The condition in which the bones and ashes were found preclude the possibility of their having been buried in recent years, and there is every reason to believe that they belong to the same misty and in determinate era in which the other

DEATH VAS
 ACCIDENTAL Finding Of CoPoner's Jury h Case of Mrs. PieFSOn OVERDOSE OF CHL0ROFORh It Had Been Taken to Re lieve the Pain Following a Very Severe Attack of Asthma.
OVERDOSE OF CHLOROFORM

The coroncr's jury established yes terdav beyond any doubt that the death Of Mrs. Bessie Kelley Pierson the ev- ening before was the result of acci- dental chlorofOrm poisoning and was not the effect of a suicidal intent, as seemed possible when the tragedy was first disclosed. The finding of the jury was that she came to her death bv an overdose of chloroform, acci- dentally administered. She was 2 years old and native of New York, although she had lived in California the greater part Of her life.
 The testimony of Ed B. Rives at the inquest had the most direct bearing on the case and by itself was convinc- ing. and the more so when it was to some extent corroborated by others. The testimony of the bereaved hus- band was valuable only as showing the cheerful mental condition of lis wife only a few hours before her death, and this was also corroborated by others There was no evidence of any possible motive for suicide save and except that Mrs. Pierson was a chronic sufferer of asthma and sick people sometimes grow weary of life, though her cOndi- ton was not as bad as it had been scores of times before and she gave no outward signs of mental depression She took the chloroform to relieve an attack of asthma and losing control took too much.
 NIT. Rives is the druggist who sold her the chlorOform. He identified tn label on the bottle and said that he had sold the chloroform to Mrs. Pier son late Sunday afternoon, to be used as she told him, for the relief of her asthma Mir. Rives testified also that during the life of the deceased in PhOe- nix she had been patron of iis store
