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 inqueat on Feb. 13 Dr Roche Lynch, the Home Office analyst, said she must have had a dose or doses of arsenic some time before her last illness.

The Plymouth coroner, Mr W. E. 3. Major, sat with a jury of 10 men. He explained that he had adjourned the inquest for the evidence of a wit ness whom the pollee thought might help.

Statement On Indian Arms & Independence

LONDON, Apr. 22 (Reuter).—India could produce 2,000,000 fghting men, said Mr L. S. Amery, Secretary of State for India, speaking in a debate in the House of Commons to-day on Indla.

Unfortunately, he added, that was not enough. He pointed to the Yugo-Slav Army, "a million of the bravest soldiers in the world, scattered and broken by the armoured divisions of Ger- man foresight and determination on war-provided while we, in our self-delusion, allowed the locusts to eat the precious years we are now trying to retrieve for ourselves and India."

In these matters, Indin was de- pendent upon us and upon America also, and could only slowly make good what ought to have been made Hood in previous years. Every effort was being made in that direction.
