Coroner F. B Hight, said today. The coroner investigated the case yesterday, and was present with l>r. C. H. White, county health officer, when the latter conducted an autopsy on the body A number of witnesses were heard last night at a further inquiry into the man's death. A portion of the contents of the man’s stomach were secured in the autopsy and sent to the State La boratory of Hygiene at Raleigh for analysis to determine If the man was poisoned. But the coroner was of the opinion that if Peace died of poison. It was from poison liquor, and not from any kind of drug administered for the purpose of causing his death Peace was buried Monday after noon shortly after the completion of the' autopsy by the county officer?
