 Mrs. Myers told a lengthy story oI how her husband came home III au intoxicated condition and accused her of travelling to Hartford in an auto mobile in the company Of another man and how he had devised a means of doing away with both his own ana her life. Myers. she said, took some pOtatoes and fish and mashed several bichIor-de tablets with the potatoes, and. covering the fish with another tablet ground to a powder demanded that both eat.
