preliminary report given Coroner Peter Hoffman by Dr. E. R. LeCount, who with Professor Walter; Haines, made a chemical analysis of the contents of the stomach and intestines of the murdered woman. ., A formal verdict will, not be . completed for a week, but at a late conference Dr. LeCount informed the coroner that there was. no .question but that the woman died from morphine poisoning. Not Chloroformed. "It has been established beyond any question that Mrs. Cleminson was not chloroformed,? said Coroner Hoffman. "While the chemists will not have completed their analysis within a week, I was informed that morphine was the cause of Mrs. Cleminson's death." "In view of all the lies Cleminson has told and in the absence of strong evidence to the contrary, I lean at present to the belief that Mrs.; Cleminson was murdered," said the coroner. - "It was murder or suicide, and the thing we now have to determine is which it. was. I had a long conference with Capt, Kane, but we found ourselves without as clear information ; as we would like to have and as we expect to get. - ' . ' " . Blackens Character. Dr. Cleminson blackened the character of his dead wife, it was learned today, two hours before he .was summoned into court, charged with her murder. Cooly, and without any apparent emotion the physician declared that his wife had ' been faithless. He said that he had found her out, that she had confessed and that two weeks ago she attempted to commit suicide. Dr. Clemenson, if be is arraigned in the criminal court on a charge of murder, showed by his latest stories of her death that his defense will be that she committed suicide.- This defense will be used in the event that it is discov ered that his wife died from the effects of a poison. ' -'- - ' ; , ; In the same breath that he told of his wife's alleged unfaithfulness, the young physician, half smiling, related a series of his own love affaiA to Cap tain Thomas Kane of the Sheffield avenue station and said that he had confessed all of, his.Jiasjons to his. wife, They had agreed no longer to live as husband and wife, he said, but had re mained under the same roof for the 6ake of their two little boys. 1 EPIDEMIC Baltimore, June 3.
