Mrs. Gregg's with this range, | Death STILLVEILED IN MYSTERY . The Coroner's inquest held at Saintfield to inquire into, the: sud- den death of Mrs. Homer Gregg which occured on the 15th of Mar., was concluded - last Wednesday, but the evidence failed to clear up the myster, connected with the case. The deceased, who lived with her son-in-law, Mr. John T. Doble, had been in' the 'habit of taking a little porter each day asa stimulant, 'After taking ber usual capful on the day previous to het death she stated to' Mr. and Mrs. Doble that it did not taste exactly right. "Some hours later she ex- pired, Coroner Mellow, of Port Perry, held an inquest, and a sam- ple of the porter, and the contents | of the aged woman's stomach, were sent to Prof. Ellis, Provincial Anal- yst of Toronto, for examination, The inquest was adjourned until last Wednesday, when Prof." Ellis and three witnesses «representing the Cosgrave Brewing Compauy of Torouto were heard. County Crown Attorney Farewell, of Whit- by, conducted the examination, while Mr. A. W. Ballantyne, of Toronto appeared jn the: brewers' behalf, Prof. Ellis in his evid: ence stated that he found arsenic and copper in the porter; while the same two materials, with the ad- dition of bismuth, were found in the stomach, and he gave it as his conjecture. that. Mrs. Gregg had come to her death through poison- ing by Paris green. The brewery officials stated emphatically that' nothing containing arsenic was used in the manufacture of their porter, and that it would be impossible for | any such:substance fo get into the iquor before it left the brewery. After deliberating for an hous the jury brought in'a verdict that tlie death of Mrs. Gregg was occasion. ed by arsenic in the porter which she used as a stimulant, but how the arsenic came to be there they. could not yet determine, aay County Constable McCully: will; | probably make furtlier inguiri Why Tolerate it? +0 : % {TO THE EDITOR OF THE.
