ROBBERY MAY
 HAVE INSPIRED
 DEATH OF ROSS

While there is no official cogni- zance taken of the manner in which John Ross may have obtained the liquor and opium that caused his death, the concensus of opinion in official circles yesterday following the inquest was that Ross, colored tubercular veteran, had been delib- erately fed hop and rolled.
 This theory is built up on the basis of information to the effect that Ross had come into town with about $270 ill cash on his person. When he was found dead in a room on Granite street, his clothing contained $8.
 The verdict of the coroner's jury yesterday morning was based on the testimony of medical officers from Fort Whipple, who stated that Ross had died as a result of alcohol and opium poisoning. No traces of the drug were found in the stomach, but indicated its effects, the officers said.
 Ross was making good improve ment in his fight against consump- ton, according to post doctors, and was one of the most agreeable of patients, very obedient to orders and medical advice. His death is at tributed unofficially to the operation of one or more persons who may have thought to drug him into un- i'll order to obtain his but who overplayed the dose.
