NEW ARSENIC MYSTERY.

SOLICTOR SUGGESTS

** GRAVE" EVIDENCE; --

DOCTOR'S INQUEST

EVIDENCE.

There was an unexpected de velopment, when the Llanelly coroner resumed the inquiry into the death of Mrs Jessie Llewellyn, aged 53, second wife of Mr. Joseph Llewellyn, contractor, of Llanelly. Mrs. Llewellyn was the wife of a small bilder and when she died her doctor refused' to give a cer- tificate until an examination of her organs had been made.

It had been stated by Dr. T. R. Davies on the previous "day that death was most probably due to ar- senical polsoning,

Mr T R. Ludford, solicitor, said that he had been instructed to

appear for the woman's brother and sister, who naturally wanted

the fullest inquiry,

"I shall," added Mr. Ludford, want to place before the court certain evidence, which may be of a somewhat `grave-nature."

Dr. I. R. Davies, was cross- examined by M, Lewis Phillips, for the husband, step-daughter, and servant. He said that wanily 13 grains of arsenic was a falal dose. The quantity found in the organs of the woman was very minute.

The site of a grain of arsenic might be that of £ pin's head,

Mr. Phillips: Will you accept the statement that arsenic is a constituent part of the human body 1-It would not be found in a normal human body.

The ibinitesimal quantity found might have been inhaled 1-Arsenie can be inhaled, but I hávé no know- ledge of the amount

Is there arsenic in the smoke from Boalf---I don't kñów.

Are apples sometimes preserved with the aid of arsenië 1-I believe it has beert reported that apples! have been sprayed with a bolution containing årsënië.

And tomatoes I have heard of that.

So it would be quite easy for a person who did not peel ää apple to take in this irifinitesimal amouät of arsenic 1 - Aiappřeciable amount has been taken in in that way.

COOK'S PLUCK AT MANSION FIRE.

CRAWLS ON SLATES TO WARN OTHERS.

TERRIER'S WARNING,

LONDON, July 18th, Captain S. Fitzroy and three maidservants had thrilling exspes when a fire broke out at Park Farm, Stoke Albany, near Market Harborough, Leicestershire, early yesterday morning

Captain Fitzroy was awakened by his terrier, which went to it master's room, jumped on to the bed, and prüfled at his hand. Both staircases were alight and escape that way was impossible, so Cap tain Fitzroy threw the dog from the window into a saft flower bed before himself jumping 20ft, on to a lawn. Both were unhurt.

The barking of the terrier also awakened the cook, who climbed out of the windor of her bedroom on the third floor and went along the slates to warn the other two servants. Then she knotted five or. six sheeta together and reached the ground by her improvised rope.

Cries for help roused the stable hands, one of whom threw a rope to the two servants who were then at a second-story window.

„Girl's Brokën Leg.

One scrambled down the rope in safety, but the other, a girl aged about 15, named Gough, let go of the rope because the friction burnt her hands, and fell, breaking her

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION INTO

What is believed to be the first serious step leading to the definite

solution by the Manila Legislature of the problem of Chinese immigra- tion into the Philippines, was taken recently in the House of Represen- tatives by Representative Jose G. Domingo, of Tarlac, who introduced a bill seeking to compel the regis tration of all Chinese residents in the Islands,

Representative Dömingu analysed the Chinese immigration question and the necessity of having the Chinese duly registered as a means of controlling the problem. In his Bill he says in part:-
