Mr. Smith i went to the store where he purchased the tea thinking that some paris green might have fallen in the caddy accidently, but after a careful investigation the batch of tea from which he purchased was found to be all right, jlt looks very much as i f the poison was put in the tea can at Mr. Smith’s : deliberately by some one, though for , what pm pose is a mystery.
