Coroner Bramkamp's Verdict Makes This Positive Finding ; v But Does Not Fix the Responsibility for S ' the Alleged Crime.
SENSATION IS CAUSED BY VERDICT Franklin Township Now Has a Mystery on Its Hands That the Wayne County Authorities May Have t ; ; Difficulty in Solving.
CHEMIST'S REPORT MADE THE BASIS OF THE FINDING Positive Evidence of Deadly Arsenic Has Been Found in Both Stomach and Liver of White. A COMPLETE INQUIRY BY THE PROSECUTOR Latest Development Probably Will Result in Grand Jury Being Called on to Probe Case. (From Saturday' Dally.) "I, A, L. Bramkamp, coroner off said county, having examined the body of Eddie White, and heard the teetimony of the witnesses which is hereto at tached,'do hereby,, find that said deceased came to hie death the 23rd day of December, 1909, from poisoning by arsenic, how and by whom adminis tered, and with what purpose the evidence orocurabla bv me fails ta establish." The above is the report of Coroner A. L. Bramkamp. filed this morning, with County Clerk Harry E. Penny. Eddie White died at his home, about one mile south of Whitewater on December 23, after an illness of one week. His Illness and death was suspicious to the residents of that vicinity, but no information was furnlsned the county officials until late in January and on January 28. Coroner A. L. Bramkamp held bis official autop3y. Eddie K. White was a well known young fanner, having lived in Whitewater and that vicinity his entire life. He lived with his wife and one daughter on a farm, south of Whitewater, ' and was highly respected in that neighborhood. On December 15; he and his wife, leaving their daughter at Whitewater, came to this city, and did some shopping. Among the supplies purchased was a can of corn, which was prepared for supper upon the return of Mr. and Mrs. White that evening. Mrs. White had a headache and did not eat much supper, but her husband ate a large amount of the corn. Mrs. White Becomes III. Mrs. White became very ill, that evening and vomited repeatedly. How ever, Mr. White's health was as usual and not until after his breakfast on the following morning, did he feel ill. He became very sick and vomited frequently. Dr. A. H. Jones of, Whitewater, was . called to the home and treated him for stomach trouble, believing that the illness was due to eating the corn, the night before. While Mr. White was very sick, yet he was' not considered seriously so, and was only confined to his bed two days. A week after he was taken ill, he died. Just previous to his death he was unconscious, and before this, nervous and excitable. He had complained to those about him during his delirium that something was trying to kill him. At no time, did he experience any great amount of pain, his suffering being more from numbness and contraction of the muscles of the abdominal regions. ' Sensational Stories Heard. - Dr. A. H. Jones, the attending physician, in his death return, announced that he believed death was due to p'omaine poisoning, as a result of eatlug the canned corn. Mr. White was buried In the cemetery in Whitewater, and after his death. r.her sensational stories were circulated. The authorities heard o. these and started an examination. On January 23, the coroner ordered that the body bv. exhu e He, In company with Dr. J. E. We.ler, conducted a post modern examination. However, they were unable to discover" any causes for death, other than that it was due to natural causes. Dr. Alburger, the head pathologist at Indiana university was asked to make an examination and did so. He, In tuin, found nothing positive and at ; the direction of the coroner, the organs were turned over to Dr. R. E. Lyons, one of the chemists at the university. Dr.' Lyons addressed the coroner, stat ing that he found positive evidences of arsenic and it was on this, as a basis, that coroner Bramkamp, rendered his verdict this morning. Qrmt Jury -May -Be Called. Coroner ' Bramkamp r stated ' this corning that so far as his connection
mm with the case was concerned he had completed his investigation. Prose cuting attorney Charles Ladd stated ; that if any convincing evidence was secured and arrests made on suspicion, that the grand Jury will be called, and at the same time Investigate the murder of Mrs. Prank Allison. The call for the grand jury has not been Issued as yet. Sends Stomach to Pathologist. The coroner removed the stomach and a few other internal organs of Eddie White. That these might be chemically analysed, the stomach was sent to Prof. Albert R. Alburger, head of the department of pathology of Indiana university and he, in tufn, delivered the organs over to Dr. Robert E. Lyons a well known chemist. In the Introduction of his verdict the coroner says: Rumors of Foul Play. "The report was brought to me from various sources that the death of Eddie K. White of near Whitewater, December 23, was under suspicious circumstances, that the indications were that death had not occurred from poisoning by canned corn, as was alleged by the attending physician, but by some other person, perhaps intentionally administered by someone for the purpose of causing death. An Autopsy la Held. "Arrangements were made to have the body exhumed from the grave in the cemetery at Whitewater by Sexton A. B. Austin, on January 28, and on this date at about 2 o'clock p. launder instructions of the coroner, an autopsy was held by Dr. J. E. Weller, of Richmond, whose report is hereto attached. "The microscopic findings faUfed to establish satisfactorily the cause of death; therefore specimens of various viscira were sent by me to the pathological laboratory of the state university at Bloomington, Ind. The pathologist, there, Dr. Alburger, reported that the microscopic findings also were not sufficient to establish the cause of death, and in answer to the direct question, stated that the find ings were such as would occur if arsenic had been ingested. Under my instructions, Dr. Alburger delivered to Robert B. Lyons, chemist, at the university, the specimens and he at my request, carried out on them, the tests for arsenic with positive results as shown by his report under date of March 23, 1910, herewith appended. The embalming fluid used was proved to contain no arsenic (see Frigid Fluid Co., letter.)" Letter From Dr. Alburger. A letter dated February 18, and addressed to Coroner Bramkamp by Dr. Alburger, the pathologist, is in part as follows: However, It would seem that I am already, more or less involved so will say to you that the hlstrologic findings might easily have been caused by the arsenic, especially the condition of the stomach. The lack of decomposition could also be explained by the presence of the arse nic in the tissues. We can make an analysis for arsenic,' provided no arsenic was used in the embalming fluid. I have the specimens in the original containes in which they were sent and can proceed on advice from you. Positive Tests For Arsenic , The letter from the university chemist, Dr. R. E. Lyons will also be of interest. It is dated March 23, 1910 and is in full as follows: "In accordance with your request, I have made the chemical examina tion for arsenic in the postmortem material (stomach and piece of liver) delivered to me by Dr. Alburger on March 17, 1910, and beg to report as follows: "The liver and stomach, each gave positive tests for arsenic. "I find the ' stomach membrane to contain forty-five one-hundredths (45-100) of a grain of arsenic, calculated as arsenic tri-oxido." Dr. Weller Reports. Dr. J. E. Weller of this city, who under the direction of Coroner Bram kamp, conducted the post mortem ex-i aminatlbn, reported to the official hist uiiuiugs. ouui ui me Bouem pomis are: '": 1 ' .-O-r "Height 5 feet 9 inches; weight 140 pounds; body shows no wounds, except a penetrating ' wound to the a domlnal wall, made by the undertaker in process of embalming; body comparatively -well nourished showing that death was due to some acute process; peritonaeum and intestines normal; stomach-size normal, on lower curvature there are four perforations, having the appearance of having been made by the needle used In embalming. : The stomach contained one-half pint, ot c-colate colored fluid. The mucous mnbrane shows evidence .; of chronic gastritis; with some erosions on the lower curvature having the appearance ot ulcers. The pylorls is normal but Infiltrated with bile; ? live, normal, middle ' lobe shows ' two punctus each, one and half inches apart, probably made dur
w mm ing the process of embalming; spleen, left and right kidney, all normal; left and right lungs, greatly congested, but showing no evidence of disease; heart full of broken down blood but valves and ventricles, normal. Brain not diseased. "Postmortem examination of the body, without chemical examination of parts of the ..internal organs and the stomach "and its contents, reveals nothing that would indicate that death occurred from other than natural causes," is the conclusion of Dr. Welter's report. Testimony of Mrs. White. The testimony of Mrs. Maude M. White, the widow, secured on January 28 is voluminous and covers the time of their married life, which was nine years before death. She. said that be had measles two years ago and had stomach trouble ever since, frequently vomiting. She says that on Saturday December 4, the deceased took several chews of Honest Scrap tobacco, on the cover of which were some green spects. He became ill but the next day was as well as usual. On the night of Wednesday, Decern' ber 15, the witness said that she was taken ill with nausia and vomiting. Her husband seemed to be in usual health, except that his head hurt. Af ter eating a light breakfast on Decern' ber 16 he became sick and vomited, most of the day. Both Ate Canned Corn. She says that she believes her. own and her husband's illness was brought about by eating canned corn for supper on December 15. Mr. White was sick for several days, vomiting frequently, but did not take to his bed until December 22. The deceased did not think his illness anything more serious than stomach trouble. The widow said that Dr. Jones was called on December 16 and saw her husband every day until his death. Dr. Jones told Mrs. White that her husband's temperature was at all times no more than a half degree above normal. The deceased had an attack of numbness and coldness on December 20 and again on December 22. Dr. Harley was called into consultation by Dr. Jones on the morning of White's death, Mrs. . White says. She said that he arrived about 4 : 40 o'clock, the morning of December 23, about twenty minutes before Mr. White's death. She said that Dr Harley said death was probably due to the effects of eating a large amount of canned corn. In her opinion, according to her testimony to the coroner, she thought death was due to acute indigestion, brought on by eating a large amount of canned corn. .7 Mrs. Amanda J. Kennedy who assisted Mrs. White in nursing her husband during his last illness, told the coroner that Mr. White was a heavy drinker. She said that he gradually became worse and was conscious until within an hour of his death. She says that Dr. Jones administered nitroglycerine, hypodermically and also by his mouth, four hours and fifteen minutes before his death. , Testimony of Dr. Jones. Dr. A. H. Jones the attending physician and living at Whitewater, in his testimony before the coroner, gave a history of the illness of the decedent, as he, as a physician was faiftiliar with it. He says that Mr. White became a patient of his when he had an attack of tonsilitis in the fall. He said that it appeared to him, when first called that the illness was due to eating the corn. He said that his condition did not appear serious. He left a cathartic on the occasion of his first visit He said that he was call ed on Wednesday and that White said something was killing him. complaining that the muscles of his stomach were cramped. A stimulant and sedative was administered. - His pulse was poor at this time. That night, White became very cold and perspired profusely. One eighth grain of morphine hypo was administered first and in half an hour one-thirtieth grain of strychnine sulphate. Still later, one one-hundred and fiftieth grain of atropine was administered. Dr. Harley of Hollandsburg was called by Dr. Jones and when he entered the room. Dr. Jones says that he remarked, "He is a dying man." - Dr. Harley. concurred. Dr. Jones Gives Opinion. At the time of death, Dr. Jones asked whether it would be a coroner's case and Dr. Harley responded that it would not as he had a similar case, a Mrs. Joseph Skinner, who had died from eating a can of cove oysters. Dr. Jones says that In his opinion and that it still was his opinion (on Jon uary 28) that White's death was due to eating canned corn, causing ptomaine poisoning. . He further states that in his observance of the case, he had noted nothing which led him to believe that White's ueath Vos -due to other than natural causes He said that he had no reason to suspect that death was due to anything else.

COMING CAMPAIGN TO BE A BUSY ONE TO STUMP SPEAKER Both Sides Say That They Are Preparing to Storm the Works of the Other Side in Earnest This Year. LEADERS OF BOTH PARTIES CONFIDENT Interest Manifested This Year Will Rival That Shown in Presidential Campaign, It Is SaidSome Dope. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Ind., April 0. It is the understanding that the coming cam paign will be a busy one from the standpoint of the stump speaker.-Present indications are that there will be about as many speakers in the field and about as many speeches made this year as in any other campaign year, whether presidential year or not. Both sides say they are preparing to storm the works of the other side. Senator Beveridge, it is understood, will forego a part of his vacation the coming summer and spend practically all of his time in this state, . making a speaking campaign which will carry him into every county. There is no man in the country that can 'stand more hard work than he can, and he is going to have a chance to prove it this year, for he is to be the big card of the season in the republican fight It is understood that a number of speakers from outside the state will be brought in to help the republican campaign, also, and that some of them will be insurgent congressmen and senators who will come in and expound the tariff views which they hold and which Senator Beveridge holds. -f He May Be Chairman. It is said that Will H. Hays of Sullivan, will be the chairman of the republican speakers' bureau during the coming campaign, though it is not definitely settled yet. Hays was the chairman of the speakers' bureau two years ago and four years ago, and knows the game like a book. His work in those two campaigns won for him great praise because of the excellent manner in which he handled the speaking part of the campaign. He brought in from outside a large number of noted spellbinders, and these, together with the Indiana republicans who volunteered to go into the campaign, gave Hays a list of speakers, the like of which has not been seen in many a day. And he placed them to good advantage throughout the campaign. Hays was the permanent secretary of the republican state Convention this week, and again won high pr&ise for his work. He is one of the best known young republicans in the state. Can't Lose the Democrats. The democrats say they will not be behind the republicans in the matter of making a speaking campaign this year. Bert Hendren, of Linton, has already been selected at the chairman of the democratic speakers bureau, and is ready to jump into the job at a moment's notice. He is a son of Gilbert Hendren, of Bloomfield, who has been chairman of the speakers' bureau of the democratic state committee for sev eral campaigns. Gil Hendren worked like a beaver in this work, and his son Bert, says he will do the same. He came to town yesterday for a confer ence with State Chairman Jackson in regard to campaign arrangements, and the two spent some time together. Gilbert H. Hendren is thinki. g seri ously of becoming a candidate for tre democratic nomination fo. cle k of the supreme court. There ar already vo candidates for this place, J. Fred France of Huntington, and A. J. Behymer of Elwood. t V illiam H. O'Brien of Lawrenceburg, has announced that he will be a candi date for the democratic nomination for Auditor of state. He was state chair man for years and is well known among the democrats of the state. He wa national treasurer of the democrat ic national committee when Thomas Taggart was national chairman.

GENIUS OF MINES
EXPIRES AFTER A GALLANUONTEST Thomas F. Walsh Died at His Home in Washington Late Last Evening after Quite a Long Illness. WORLD'S SCIENTISTS HONORED HIS GENIUS He Began Life on the Farm and by His Industry and Intelligence Worked His Way to High Place. Washington, D. C, April 9. Thomas F. Walsh, of Colorado and Washington, died at 11:25 o'clock last night, at his home in Massachusetts avenue. Death was due to heart trouble. Mr. Walsh had been in poor health for several weeks. The end came peacefully, without pain. At the bedside were the mem bers of the family and Mr. Walsh's physicians. More than a month ago Mr. Walsh's condition became such as to cause apprehension, and it was decided that a trip to Florida might be of benefit to his shattered health. Accordingly, ac companied by Mrs. Walsh, he went to Palm Beach, Fla. But the improve' ment hoped for was not to be gained there, and the party journeyed next to San Antonio, Texas. When it became known that Mr. Walsh's case was desoerste he was hurried by special train to bis Washington home, arriving here Thursday, March 24. Born in the county of Tipperary, Ireland, in 1831, of a poor family, Thomas F. Walsh became one of the wealthiest men and the greatest mining man in the United States. He was educated in the public schools of Ireland and later learned the millwright's trade; this was before he was 19 years of age. He then emigrat ed to America and went to Massachu setts, where be earned his living at the carpentry trade. He was persuaded to go west and subsequently established himself in Leadville, where he engaged in busi ness as a builder and contractor. Later he built houses in the Black Hills re gion and did a little prospecting. Mr, Walsh never went about the country with a pick on his ;. back. By close study he acquired an intimate knowl edge of geology, mineralogy and metal lurgy; the disposition of ore bodies and the development and treatment of ores, and was at his death, the foremost mining expert of the United States. Long before Mr. Walsh became rich he met and fell in love with Miss Car rie Reed, a south Wisconsin girl, whom he married In October, 1879, at Lead ville, Col. She, although her early horizon was limited, possessed all the gifts that should belong to a rich man's wife. He ran a hotel in his early mining days, and it was through this business that he won the admiration and respect of all the miners who met him. Es pecially so, because he would always welcome a man whether he had luck or not. During his spare moments he arrived at some original theories of mining, and dreamed of a great fortune. He made it a regular practice to "grub stake" prospecting parties in consideration of a share of the profits. If any. One such party in 1876, struck sometning rich in the Black Hills. Walsh sold his share in the mine for $100,000 and that was the foundation of his great fortune. It was somewhere around 1896 that Walsh discovered the greatest mine in the country, the Camp Bird, of which he was the largest owner. One day he came to the conclusion that there were valuable gold and silver deposits in the high regions around the ouray district. Old miners laughe dat him, but he staked out claims and set gangs of men to work. The re sult of hi sagacity and pluck was the Camp Bird mine, which yielded 53,000,. 000 the first' three years of its exis. ence. Perhaps throughout the world there can lot be found a mine or mining properties where the condition of the men working on them is more comfort able than on the Walsh properties In Colorado. The men are all well housed ard all veil fed. Places are provided where they may dry their clothes as soon as they come from the mines. There are baths with porcelain tubs and other conveniences. The living rooms are lighted with electric ity and heated with steam. In that district of the country where there is always trouble, there has nev er been a strike In the Walsh proper ties or any labor disturbances. Mr. Walsh was as great a success so cially as he was financially. His family are members of the exclusive circles in Washington, Newport and Paris; and as a host Mr. Walsh had a most enviable reputation. While traveling in France and Bel gium, In a special train of five pal ace cars, he met the late King Leopold and had him dine on the train with him. It was at this meeting that these two men became fast friends and began talking money. His Majesty complained at the time that his invest ed money was bringing him only three per cent and that the revenue was a mighty uncertain matter at that. "Wat I draw ten per. cent, said Walsh, "and its a dead certainty.' : As the result of that meeting Walsh and King Leopold engaged in an enterprise to develop mining properties in the Congo. Mr. Walsh was a member ef many of" the leading- Engineering- Societies and social dobs of thia country.
RELEASE A MURDER SUSPECT
BUT TRAIL GROWING WARMER
Man Held at New Castle Taken to Hagerstown But Is Not Identified, But the People of That Town Saw the Man the Authorities Are Hunting, Their Description ot Him Tallying Perfectly in Every Detail.
SEARCH MAINTAINED
Suspect Has Been Traced, Through Description Given by
Mrs. Clevenger, to County Infirmary and Thence to Hagerstown While at That Place, the Suspect Asked for Newspapers at Several Homes.
(From Saturday's Dally.)
Although the man arrested at New Castle last evening on suspicion ot being the murderer of Mrs. Frank Allison was released at Hagerstown this , morning, when taken there by Marshal Drlschell ot Cambridge City, for the purpose of Identification, the authorities are confident that the clue furnished, by Mrs. Joseph Clevenger of Milton, Is the only reliable one that they have in their possession, and they are confident that the man who Mrs. Clevenger saw running across a field between 12 and 1 o'clock on the afternoon of the murder, is the slayer of Mrs. Allison, and they are also confident that the man who was in Hagerstown yesterday, and who Impudently accosted several women and greatly alarmed Mrs. Mary Funic, an aged woman, by his threatening actions, was the man who Mrs. Clevenger saw. These conclusions are based on hard facts and excellent evidence. The man in question is now the only quarry in the man chase, which is now on, and the authorities are hopeful of soon having him in custody. Officials in every town in this section of the country have been furnished a good description of the suspect and farmers and townspeople are on guard for him. All of western Wayne county from the Henry county line to the Fayette county line, is thoroughly aroused. This morning the county commissioners offered a reward ot $500 for the arrest and convlction of the slayer, and residents of Cambridge City will raise an equal amount. ; ' r. " ' Keller, the man arrested at New Castle, answers the description ot the suspect by his dark complexion and by the light brown, felt hat he wears, but in other respects he does not fit the description. He la at least five inches shorter than the man wanted. For that reason he wag released today. Here is a description of the man who is now being hunted down; A tramp. Wears two coats, the outside one being grey, the other brown. Evidently an American, but bo darkly tanned that be could be mistaken for an Italian or a light negro. His clothes are well worn and the trousers splattered with mud. Wears a light brown felt hat.
How Man Was Traced. 1 The man on whom the suspicion of tho brutal crime has now been fastened, first attracted notice to himself while at Cambridge City last Tuesday. A cowboy belonging to the Buckskin Ben wild west show noticed him near the showman's farm holding a chick en, from which he plucked all the feathers and then turned the unfortunate bird loose. It was the action of a man witn nenaisn instincts, vvnen the man noticed the cowboy he hasti ly departed. He was next seen late Tuesday afternoon on the road to Miltorn It is on this road that the Allison farm is located. No traces of him are to be found on Wednesday, except a statement made by Mrs. Joseph Clevenger, a Milton woman. She says that between 12 and 1 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, a few hours after the murder, she saw a man running, that he hurriedly jumped a fence and ran across a field toward a woods.- As she was some distance away she did not obtain a good view of him. but gives the following descrip tion: Dark complectioned, looking like a negro, felt hat and light suit. Led Through a Creek. It will be remembered that hounds were placed on the tracks made by the man that Mrs. Clevenger saw, and these dogs followed him nearly to Centerville, and the scent led through a creek, which the man had waded. Friday it was learned by Palladium men working on the case that late in the afternoon of the day the crime was committed, a man called at the county infirmary, near Centervtlle and requested something to eat. His clothes were wet, he was dark complectioned, wore a felt hat and was thought to be a tramp. - " -- When the man left he headed for Hagerstown. Seen at Hagerstown. A Palladium reporter at Hagerstown this morning learned that a Mrs. Burton was probably the first person who saw the suspect in that locality. As she was driving to town she noticed a tramp, : wearing a felt hat, travel-stained and very dark complectioned. When the man noticed her he laid down in a ditch until the rig had passed. This occurred Thursday afternoon, the day following the murder. - The man's whereabouts that evening are unknown, but Friday morning he entered Hagerstown and called at several homes and asked for a breakfast. He was very insolent and the women who talked to him describe him to tally with the description of the man seen at Cambridge City, the county Infirmary and by Mrs. Clevenger. v. . He Was Threatening. He became very threatening at the home ol Mrs. Mary Funs out was frightened away. At the home of Mrs. McGowan he was very anxious to see a newspaper. At other homes he also asked for newspapers. : Marshal Dixon was finally Informed of the man's strange actions and he started out to find him. but the man succeeded in getting oat of town. Late yesterday afternoon when Dixon became convinced that the stranger was the probable murderer of Mrs. Allison he started on a search, which he main tained, but without results, until 11 o'clock last night. . This morning Dan Flake, who operates a sugar camp a mile southeast of Hagerstown. informed Marshal Dixon that the suspect had slept Fridarnhrht at tit near ctmn.
