POISON NOT FOUND
IN BODY OF WOMAN
Analysis Strengthens Opinion Mrs.
Scarlett's Death Was Result
of Natural Causes.

A chemical analysis of the contents
of the stomach of Mrs. Josephine
Scarlet, 81 years old. 4426 Ord street
northeast. who died at Emergency
Hospital last Sunday. failed to show
the presence of poison, according to
a report of the District chemist. sub
mitted to Inspector Henry G. Pratt,
chief Of detectives. and DIR. j. Ram
sey hewitt, District coroner yester-
day.
An autopsy performed shortly after
death. when relatives expressed the
fear Mrs. Scarlet might have been
poisoned. disclosed five perforations
of the intestines.
Much impetus was given to the
investigation by the fact that a SON
in-law of Mrs. Scarlet. Robert d.
Flynn, living with his wife and two
children at the same address. died
suddenly on January ID, after hav-
ing been afflicted with lead poisoning
for some time.
Relatives of the brother at the
time felt that the true cause of
death was not lead poisoning, it was
said. but they kept any suspicious
they might have had to themselves.
Failure to find poison in the
stomach of the dead woman. it Is
stated. verified the suggestion made
by Coroner hewitt at the time the
investigation was ordered. which
was to the effect that death had re-
suited from natural causes.

SAYS LINCOLN LOST
1899 MURDER TRIAL
Records at Carthage, Ill, Being
Searched to Find Record by
Emancipator's Pen.
Rv the Associated Press.


CARTHAGE, Ill, March 25.--Search
for the name of an unknown attorney
who defeated Abraham Lincoln and
T. Lyle Dickey when they defended
Schuyler County murderer in May,
1899, ard for q legal document filed
in the case in Lincolns handwriting,
is being made in Carthage.
Statements that Lincoln would
never defend q murderer are mac
curate, as court records will show,
said j. A. Thompson, an old resident
of Monmouth, who is acquainted with
the case.
Lincoln was a lawyer practicing
before the bar, just as any other attor-
ney," Mr.. Thompson declared.
Somewhere in Carthage there is q
motion in arrest of judgment in Lin
coins own handwriting. but that was
taken from the records years ago, and
has never been found since. The mo-
ton was oVerruled, and the. murderer
was hanged on Nay 10, 1889.
The mutilated records of the court
and tradition give the names of the
attorneys for the defense as Abraham
Lincoln and r. Lyle Dickey, who later
become a justice in the Illinois Su-
preme Court. No record of the mans
name who appeared against them can
be found, however.
The wording of the old records of
Hancock County court is that William
Frame killed a man of unpronounc-
able name in a saloon brawl in Fred
erick. Schuyler County and so on.
Other records have the name Of the
murderer as Fielding Frame. The
murderer and the man he Killed were
probably transients, for neither was
known to the settlers. The case went
to Hancock County on charge of
venue from Schuyler County,
