POISON FOUND
In Stomach Of the Late John Crosby
BY Cincinnati Chemist-Inquest
To BE Held by Coroner
Slack Wednesday
Morning.

Following the sudden death of Mr..
John Crosby in the county about two
weeks ago, Coroner Charles Slack
took the stomach of the deceased to
Cincinnati for analysis. Yesterday he
received the following letter from the
chemist who analysed the stomach:
"Charles Slack, Esq,
Coroner Mason County,
Maysville, Ky.
Dear Sir--In response to your re-
quest l submitted the stomach of
John Crosby and also sample of cof-
fee delivered to me in person to
chemical analysis and beg to report
as follows: The stomach showed but
little Inflammation and was filled to
the extent Of pint of light-brown
fluid and few pieces of undigested
meat The sample of coffee, labeled
from Irwin Berry, M. D., Washington,
KY, had very heavy precipitate Of
grayish black powder practically free
from coffee grains. All three parts,
stomach, stomach fluid and coffee
contained arsenic in combination.
Respectfully submitted,
Chas. T. p. Fennell, Phi. G. Phar. D.,
Analytical and Consulting Chemist.
This proves almost conclusively
that Mr.. Crosby died from the .ef-
fects Of Paris green poisoning as was
claimed by the immediate family, ar
senic being the base of Paris green.
Coroner Slack has issued a sum-
mons for all the witnesses to be pres
ent at the Courthouse tomorrow

the construction of sanitary privies.

zens of Maysville were not taking
hold of the matter as they should.

tion Of sanitary sewers had been de-
feated at last Tuesdays election and
