DIR. E. E. S0llars Testifies
DR.. E. E. Sollars, of Deer Park and
Kempton, was the principal witness
before the coroner's jury when it met
yesterday morning at the office of JUS
tice w. A. Gender, acting coroner.
DR.. Sollars testified that he went
to the Zelda house about $50 o'clock
on Sunday evening, February 8, and
found the man lying on the floor with
Mrs. Harvey bending over him trying
to talk to him and attempting to re-
store circulation by rubbing his arms.
He said the mans eyes were dilat-
ed and his mouth and throat in such
condition that he was sure something
worse than moonshine liquor had been
the cause of his death. The express
sion on the mans face, DR.. Sollars
said, showed that he had suffered the
most extreme agony while in the
throes of death.
Those in the Zelda house stated
that he had suffered violent convul-
sions just before he died.
Mrs. Harvey, the wife of western
Bill' Harvey, is being held as an ac-
complete along with Mrs. Zelda, be-
cause it is alleged by authorities and
admitted by Mrs. Zelda that she fur
nished the liquor and placed it, after
the poison had been added, where the
dead man would be sure of getting it.
Following the mans death, DR.. Sol
lars notified Walter w. Dawson, the
States Attorney of Garrett county,
who with Sheriff W. H. Haenfltling
investigated the matter resulting in
the summoning of jury of inquest
and the subsequent arrest of the two
women.
1t was brought out at the hearing
before the coroner's jury that Zelda,
after he had swallowed some of the
contents of the bottle realized that
the liquor had been doctored, accused
both women by saying, Rosa, you and
Carrie have poisoned me-" He then
took the two bottles of liquor, it is
said, and gave them into the posses
sion of Frank McRobie, his father-in-
law, who was ill in bed, telling him
to keep them until the authorities ar
rived, as he was sure he had been
poisoned. Mr.. McRobie is Civil War
veteran, and has reached the age of
over IS years.
Shortly after Zelda had given the
liquor to Mr.. McRobie, Zelda was
taken with commissions and frequently
called for water. DIR. Sollars was then
summoned, but Zelda was dead when
he arrived at the house.
An autopsy was performed by DR..
Henry w. McComas and DR.. Sollars
on Monday, February 9, the day fol-
lowing Felda's death, when his stom-
ach was removed and sent to Balti-
more for the purpose of having an
analysis made of it's contents. The
report of the chemists was received

 Medicine Ball Cabinet"
 Harlan F. Stone, at the extreme right, is a New Yorker. A member of President Hoover's medicine ball cabinet" he was expected by many ito become chief justice when Taft resigned.
 Some Senate progressives thought him too conservative when he was named by Coolidge in 1925, but paradoxically his views coincide many times with those of Holmes and Brandeis.
 Owen J. Roberts of Philadelphia is the youngest member of the bench. He made his reputation as a prosecutor in the oil lease cases. He was named just after the senate had rejected Judge John J. Parker lof North Carolina in 1880, and pleased men as far apart in politi- cal tenets as Norris of Nebraska and Reed of Pennsylvania. These are the jurists who will pass upon the Clark decision.

 The arrest of Reardon on Oc- tober 7th followed the return to Waterbury of two quarts of liquor seized several weeks ago in con- nection with Coroner James J. Corrigan's investigation of the death of New Haven youth. one of the pals of the young man who died of acute alcoholism accom- panied two members of the New Haven detective bureau to Water bury and pointed out the place where they had obtained liquor. To determine whether or not death could possibly have been caused by poisoned hooch the coroner or- dered an analysis of the evidence. A report from the experimental station of the Connecticut Agricul- tural college disproved the sus- picion of poison and the New Ha- ven police returned the Sample" to the local authorities. A war rant was promptly issued for the arrest of Reardon.

APPLE TREE IN
 FULL BLOOM
Harry Francis of South. ingtOn Believes He Has
 Jump on NeighbOrs
A PROSPEROUS FARMER

Harry B. Francls. southington farmer, called at the Democrat office this morning and exhibited several branches of a red astrachan apple tree in full bloom. Mir Fran els has over a hundred trees in his orchard, but this is the only one that puts forward blossoms at this season. He said he had heard some talk about apple trees in bloom in Wolcott, Prospect, Beth lehem and other places, but he doubted if any town in the state could show one that would com pare with the one at his place.
 Mir Francis Is prosperous ap- bearing tiller of the soil, and yet he talked as though there is not much money in the business, and yet he has no notion of giving it up and turning his attention to something else. Probably like most other men who are fairly prosperous in their business, Mir Francis does not want to boast of his success. However that may be, the few branches taken from one of his apple trees show that they are enjoying unusually fine weather in Southington.
