Baked in this search. authorities
turned their attention today to an
other method of linking Orpet with
the poison taken by Marian. They
secured new samples OF poisons
found in the cellar OF the green

only the wisest measures could avert
disaster.
That Mr.. Lawson was able 20 bring
his own hank to its high plane with
out losing the warm friendship OF his
banking rivals shows his possession
of a beautiful character. No one ever
did business with him without a
recognition OF his great ability. nor
without the utmost confidence In his
integrity. nor without the warmest
love OF his human qualities.
