POST MORTEM SHOWS NO SIGN OF POISONING Inquest Into Death of Daniel Hastings Adjourned Until April • 12 to Receive Report on Stom- ach Examination --Evidence at Dublin Sitting Indicates Death Was Not Violent, Dublin, April 1.—The inquest in- to tit* death of the late Daniel Hest- ings did not complete its work here to -day, an adjourninent being made to April 42. This was necessary as the report of the provincial analyst on his examination of the stomach of the late Mr. Hastings was not ready for sub- mission at to -day's sitting, and on it hinges the whole question as to the presence of any poison which might ,have been the cause of death, The evidence given by Dr. Murray, and Dr. Smith on their post mortem examination was to the effect that they had found no trace of strychine's effects. The only abnormal condition In the man's vital organs was some congestion in the lungs and some ad- herence to the walls of the chest a condition which appeared to have been chronic, Not Sufficient to Kill 'l'o the Jury Dr. Murray stated that the strongest strychnine tablets pro- curable ordinarily from drug stores are one -thirtieth of a grain, and it would take probably fifteen such tab- lets to cause death. Mrs. Hastings, in iter alleged confession„ is said to have claimed to have given her husband only two -tablets. Dr. Alurrav's evidence was also to the effect that he had found 00 evi- dence of violent paroxysms preceding death, such as are synntonls of pois- oning. The evidence of the deceased man's alder daughter and that of neighbors was to the effect that Mr. Hastings' death was comparatively peaceful, Adjourned Until April 12. Dr. Armstrong, of Alitchell, coroner, presided at the inquest, Mrs, Hast- ings was not present at this sitting, The all important evidence is expected to be given in the form. of the report by the provincial analyst on the exam- ination trade of Mr, Hastings' stomach and contents, as to the pres- ence of any poison of the effects there- of. There was no evidence to -day which could adequately account for the death of Mr. Hastings—nor was there the smallest evidence of poison- ing, Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTOR IA * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * HURON COUNTY * * NEWS IN BRIEF * * * * * * * 4F * * * 4, * * * Moncrieff:—The job of carrying the mail from Monkton over Route t was recently tendered for and secured by Edward Broughton.
