s.Not only was Mrs Cross in her 18th year, but she had a bad heart I watched the case closely, and par
 ricularly so in this ease. as viii be shown by the fact that called Dr.
 John c. Lynch into consultation with me
 Tn my opinion Mrs. Cross died from
 bronchitis as the primary cause, with
 diabetes and pulmonary oedenna as secondary causes. This filed as my
 diagnosis of the case upon the death certihcate.'
 ! Asked what effect codein had upon i the system and if 1t produced deiirtuEn similar to that of diabetes, Dr. t1eck stated that the symptoms were almost identical, with the exception Of the diIatiou of the pupil Codein, he said was an alkaloid and similar to nor phine. but of less strength. The doses of codein were from 1-2 to 1 grains, whereas the doses of morphine " ere from 1-s to 1-2 grain at the most Tn his opinion it would have been tni- possible for a woman conscious to- ave taken such a quantity by mistake. and he wasf not prepared to believe that
 the, stomach would have retained sufa- cieflt quantity to cause death Mystery attaches as to what has be- come of large sums of money and oth-. CT securities, known to have been m
 tae possession of Mrs. Cross before her
 death. & It has been learned that Frank A.
 Garland, who was named as exeeutoH
 of the cross will. had in his possession a. power of attorney, giving him al- most unlimited authority over her afr
 fairs, under which he sold certain of her securities and handled her cash
 The original of such a. power of at torney is in the possession OF enS
 Bridgeport Trust company with which
 Mrs. Cross had a checking account and a. safety depseSit box.
 Reduested by reporter of the Far rner to permit an inspection of this power of attorney, officers of the Bridgeport Trust company refused to do 50. deeming it not consonant with their obligation to the estate of the dead woman and It's representative All of the representatives of the es- tate as well as the sons of Mrs. Cross
 are exceedingly anxious to find Gar land.
 It is said that without his assistance
 the property of the estate cannot be satisfactorily accounted for. A
 His relations with the woI1an were that of confidential agent. He ap- securities and got a commission for
 doing so- This commission is Aaid to have been at least half the value of the things sold.
 Without Garland's help, it will be further difficult to settle the estate.
 because Garland alone knows what sums he paid to the dead woman. It was his custom to settle their afrairg entirely in private. What he paid to her and what he retained for his lconrnission for his services ft is be- heved will not clearly appear until the facts are had from his own lfps. A most peculiar circumstance Gar , lands residence here at 59 Washing l ton terrace was unearthed yesterday. when it was learned through Mrs

Further developments relative to the death of Hannah A, Cross, and her msssing fortune, were ascertalnesd to- day. by9F,a ,armer reporters Mrs. Cross died November 25s 1913.
 The statement of Frank E.. Ballard, indicates that upon this date he was asked to i'll two prescriptlons, eacn calling for considerable quantity of codein- MT. Ballard was surprls- ed at two such prescriptions for uch a powerful poison being pEesented so close together, and he refused to i'll the second prescription, without an order from the doctor.
 The death certificate was given on November 26, t1s1a by Dr. Fl. ". FIeck, who discussed the case freely in his talk with Q Farme< reporter to. day.
 Frank E. Ballard, proprietor of the [up-to-date drug store on Wood ave- nue, while reticent about Gdvulglng anything that has come under his oo- servation in the Cross case IS known to have been questioned by Prosecut- ing Attorney Alexander Delaney.
 It is known that on November. 70, the FIeck prescription was presented and filled, and that withifs~ an hour feminine member of the Cross mousse hold presented herseT1$ at the store scription be duplicated, as the first box had been lost Ballard refus- ed to acquiesce until after he had consulted with the physician A ou- pIicate was written and the codeln taken to the Cross home
 Dr. 1T. w. F9eck, whose offices are at s97 Lafayette street, yesterday, frankly stated the circumstances or the duplicate poison prescription as he had understood it. He said: i v s.Is think that the first box was spill ed for I saw a part of the contents L1-.~ r,r1d Ii dresser. The box was upset and smashed up. I hardly think that death in the case of Mrs. Cross could have resulted in an overdose of codein sul- phate as the woman was conscious until the last and in my opinion did moi later show that pupillar reflex that the presence of 8 large quantity of alkaloid would have induced.
 s.As remember the case, on the morning November 25, when Mrs Cross died, she had been in consider able pain and asked me for some co- dein sulphate, which she said had been prescribed by other physicians in Florida and other places where she had sought health. Besides chronic diabetes she was attacked with bron- chitis which is possibly the most fa- tal conplica ton which can ensue with diabetes. prescribed the codein, writing prescription for 50, one-half grain tablets to be taken in ordinary doses. It 1was a little more than an hour after the filling of the first pre- scription at the Frank E. Ballard pharmacy on Wood avenue that re- ceived a telephone call from MT. Bal lard stating that. he had received a request to have. the prescription re- filled as the drug had been lost.
 esTo me the members of the family about the bedside explained that the contents of the first box had been spilled and I at once wrote another prescription according to the laws of this state, which prebent the refllinE lof a prescription without permission
