QUIETLY ON CASE

Coroner John T. Spring today re-
ceiyed the much waited for report of
the analysts of the contents OF the
stomach OF Frank Koprowsli, Of No.
1914 Linden street, who died sudden
~ at the plant of the H. Blumenthal
Company, a week ago. but he refused
to make known the contents of the
report He said he took this stand
al the request OF Deputy Attorney
General Armon d. ChaytOr. Jr. lt
was learned. however. that State
l}acteriolOgist Watsons report shows
that there was a large quantity Of
poison in the dead mans stomach,
sufficient to kill dozen men, but the
nature OF the poison is not made pub
lie Il Is said. however, that the
drug was arsenic.
lt was learned today that the au-
thorities are now leaning 10 the be.
lief that the young man committed
suicide. This theory Is heightened
by the fact that it was learned today
that koprowshd was seen walking
over to the hose in the Blumonthal
plant and take long drink Of water
shortly before he topplcd over uncon-
scious and died within few minutes,
! Tie had not complained Of feeling un-
well during the morning, and that he
was not in developed when the au-
topsy was held all the organs Of the
body being in normal condition.
State Detective Frank Mccoy and
Deputy Coroner Harvey r.. Nichols
are ;nown to be working ON the case
but what they have learned is prob
ably known TO the attorney-ge generals
Office only.
There are many persons who
scout the idea Of suicide, contendinl
that Koprowski had everything c
live for; was financially comfortable
and was to have been married thii
week. On the other hand some o
the young mans acquaintance sa,
he acted strangely at times ant

The executions, carried out prema-

occurred at 4.3O o'clock, in the Boule-
ward Arago, outside the prison de la

gathered from seeing the men die. The

brought the three doomed men from
the prison to the instrument of death.
Soudy, n years old, the youngest
of the trio, was the first to die, and
apparently he was cheerful.
AS his hands and feet were bound

smiled at his guards and said:

Monier, twenty-four years old, was
the last He was cool, but very pale
and plainly under great mental
stress. His teeth chartered as he said
"Good-bye, friends"
It took a few seconds longer tC

knife came down with a swish-likG

head onto the saw-dust, it was 4.3;

Soudy bequeatied his brain e
science and his skull to a museum
leaving word that the proceeds de
rived therefrom should be expended
TO give free soup to the poor. He alsl
left behind him his autograph, whicl
he directed should be sold at auction
