The , Btomacns were first sent to
Prof eBsor Withers, of the A. and M.

they be preserved and an estimate
nfade of tne coat of analysis. The
charge was so much more than was
anticipated that tho county authori
ties would not bear the expense and
they found that they could have the
work done cheaper at Chapel Hill.
No i arrest - has been ' made. The
suspicion la that the two-were given
an apple, with poison In it by the

analysis and the proof of the pres
ence of poison In the stomachs there
is nothing on which to base a war
rant for an arrest, t Many believe
