W. Torrance, of Paisley, will prove interesting : (7oroner Patterson, of Port Elgin, opened an inquest at Paisley, Friday, on Rev. William Torrance, whose sud- den death Wednesday has aroused suspicion that he was poisoned. Evi- dence was given that deceased had formerly taken morphia to ease sciatic pains, bet latterly had taken atropine for the same, purpose. The reverend gentleman officiated at a funeral the afternoon of his death, and on return- ing called at the drug store of D. Bain and partook of a draught of efferves- cent citrate of magnesia flavored with pine -apple. Eight hours later he died in great agony, with Symptoms of poisoning such as vomiting, purging and paralysis. Drs. Black and Kalb- fleisch attended him. The former swore he thought Mr. Torrance's ill- ness was due to a mistake i n thedraught given, and the patient made a state- ment to the same effect. The doctor said the syinptoms would indicate poisoning, but it was possible that same may have been caused by a drink of ice -water when the body was over- heated. His impression was that death was due to belladonna or its alkaloids. Dr. Kalhfleisch swore that he thought death was due to apoplexy, together with rupture of a blood ves- sel in the head. He saw no symptoms of poisoning. Alex. Kalbfleisch, drug clerk, told of giving the citrate draught. No poisons were kept near the pineapple flavoring used. Jesse Monkman, another drug clerk, was present when Mr. Torrance died, and heard him say, "I am ruined, this is my last. I am afraid the dose I got at the drug store was poison, or poison in it." Deceased frequently remarked that drug's would finish him some day. The jury returned a verdict of death from apoplexy.
