Arsenic From Cornish Mine: Man's Evidence At Exhumation Inquest
Reference to arsenic said to have been obtained from a mine in Cornwall "at one time the biggest arsenic mine in the world," was made at the resumed inquest at Plymouth recently on Miss Elizabeth Byford, 47, who died in a Plymouth hospital. Her body was exhumed last August.
When she was taken ill nearly a year ago Miss Byford was living at the Cornish tin mining village of St Ann's Chapel, where she was known as Mrs Fiske.
At the opening of the inquest on Feb. 13 Dr Roche Lynch, the Home Ofice analyst, snid she must have had a dose or doses of arsenic some time before her laat illness.
The Plymouth coroner, Mr W, E. J. Major, sut with a jury of 10 men. He explained that he had adjourned the inquest for the evidence of a wit- ness whom the police thought might help.
