No Poison Sunday

After using a stomach pump and sd-
ministering antidotes to save Painting
Bertha" Liebecke from the supposed eff
fects Of quantity of stychnine she had
pretended to swallow with suicidal intent,
police officers and surgeons discovered
half a day later that the woman had
not possessed any poison at the time she
wrote a farewell note, but merely had
an empty strychnine box.
Desk Captain w. X Marshall at the
police station laughed heartily when he
was told of Bertha's supposed attempt
on her life. He explained that she had
had some strychnino when she was
brought to jail, but that he had taken It
from her and returned the empty box.
