No Trace of Poison
Or Drug Found i'm
.JacksOns' Bodies
Husband Believed to Have
Succumbed TO Stroke on
Finding Wife; Cause of
Her Death Still a Mystery

Fremont Madison jackson, whose
body was found, with that Of hi, wife,
on the floor of the bathroom OF their
suite in the Hotel Margaret Annex,
Brooklyn, Wednesday morning last,
died Of stroke induced by the shock
Of finding his wifo's body. The cause
OF Mrs Jackson's death remains mys-
terry.
This was the premise generally &C
cepted yesterday by officials Of the
Kings County District Attorneys OF
flee and the police, after an exhaus-
tive analysis Of the stomachs Of both
victims, The report strengthens the
official theory. held since Friday, re-
Gardng Jaclloon's death, but is regard
cd ms complaining the case as it con
Germs the death OF his wife.
The report of the PSYCHOLOGIST who
yesterday analyAed the vigcera Of the
couple was that no trace Of poison was
evident. AS it affects the husband 3
death this Export makes it probable
that the official theory, which - also
held by the members of the family, that
jackson died OF shock, is the correct
one.
The husbands death did not occur
until some hours later than Mrs. Jack
son 9. When the bodies were found
Jackson was seated on bathroom
chair, with his feet on the floor, one
on either side of his wifo's body, and
his head and shoulders resting on the
edge of the bathtub, which was at his
back. The position in which he was
found indicates. the police say, that he
was overcome while bending to raise
Mrs. Jackson's body and that he fell
backward unconscious.
The question as TO what caused Mrs
Jacksons death remains unanswered
The report Of Alexander O. Gettler, tox.
biologist Of the Medical Examiners Of.
fee at Bellevue, Is emphatic that nc
trace Of any drug or poison Of any
sort is present in the organs Of either
Of the couple. Dr.. l.. NJ. Vaughan, OF
District Attorney Roston's staff, insists
that the death did not result from pto
maine poisoning.
Captain John Sullivan Of the Brook
Ign detective squad said yesterday
that the toxic ologs SITS report indicates
that both deaths were due to natura
causes, hut he added that this made il
more difficult than ever to establish
the cause OF Mrs, Jackson's death
