him. Not one of the profession re-
membered having even been called
upon to treat him. then eliminated
the druggists in the same way. Not Il
druggist had ever sold him a particle
of medicine. But one Of them had
sold Mrs. Haywood Il considerable
amount of arsenic with which to eX
terminate rats. At least this was her
reason given for buying it. This drug.
gist's evidence had been given at the
trial and had much to do with the con
~viction.
Now. If Haywood had been used to
buying medicines in the own when
he wanted them my hope Of proving
that he had bought the arsenic which
poisoned him would have been ex-
tinguished. Mrs. Haywood's legal de
fender had stopped at this point. either
not considering the fact that the de.
ceased had bought no medicine in the
town at all. or If he had it probably
did not occur to him that Haywood
might have bought al his drugs some
where else.

wood any drug. No concern had done
so. | was about to give up the matter
when it occurred to me that one who
would take pains to conceal his habit
would not be likely to have the dope
sent to his address direct. SO | went
the rounds again and asked every drug
gist if he had a record Of sending drugs
to any one in the place where Hay
wood had lived.
| found a number of druggists who
had sent dope i'm very small quantities

cry of the postofiice. One of these
druggists had sent Mr.. lngersoll ut

with the fact that some Of this tonic
had been sent the person not very long
before his death.
