CORONER SEARCHING FOR A

PHYSICIAN WHO FAILED TO

REPORT THE SUICIDE OF

MRS. ETTA OAGNON

Through tin- belated InformationfurnUhod by an undertaker's at-trndant, tho pollen li.n.- learnedthat Mrs. Ktl.i Oagnon, of Hi Con-necticut it., who died three day*:i( ... was a milclde.

SPECIAL EXTRA

MAUD CREFFIELD DEBY HER OWN HAND

Analysis of Contents of the Stomach Shows thePresence of Strychnine in Sufficient Quantityto Cause Instant Death--Coroner Carroll WillCertify That Woman Tork Her Own Life.

Strychnine in sufficient quantities to have caused instantdeath has been found iii ii.. stomach of Mm. Maud Creffi^ld.

In view of the finding a verdict of suicide in to '••\u25a0 re-tut: by the coroner, probably today,

Th< ipretence of the poison in Mii. Creffield'* stomachwin determined by ( helm Osseward and Kubenstrin, whowere engaged by Coroner Carroll to make the. chemical an-alysis.

Chemists Osseward and Rubenstein made their reportin writing, and in official form, although their investigationis not vet entirely complete.

It is believed that when the analysis ii entirely completethat enough of the jHjison will have been found in Mrs.

[field's stomach to have caused the death of at least'three persons.

Surprised the Coroner.

The findings of the chemists came as a surprise to th«coroner, who at the time of Mys. Creffield's death in hercell at the county iii declared it his belief that the diedof heart failure.

This story was shattered somewhat when, at the postmortem examination, as toM exclusively in The Star, the-heart was found in good condition, and the indications ofsuicide became more pronounced.

In view of the mult of the anatvtica! investigation itis now believed by the police that bather Mitchell, whomurdered her brother, knew all the while that it was a case

of cuicide.It is even believed, from the intimacy that existed be-

tween the two women, that Mrs. Crcffield told the Mitchellgirl \u25a0(( her desperate intention, and that the girl's horrifiedexpre««ions of grief as she held the dying woman's headin her lap were merely the utterings of a consummate actress.

Esther Mitchell Pleads Ignorance.

Esther Mitchell, on the other hand however, insisted,when seen at the county [ail this afternoon, that she did notknow that Mr- Crefficld killed herself, ami she even wentmi far as to state that she does not believe it now.

"Mr*. Crefficld offen told me that »he wanted to 'lie,but I do not believe that she killed herself.

\u25a0\u25a0>!:<\u25a0 was not afraid of the law. I swear to God that shenever told me she was going to kill herself. I would haveprevented her."

Despite the girl's denials the police do not believe her,and -lie will be doubly watched to prevent her from alsocommitting suicide.

"The theory of suicide is correct," said Prosecuting At-torney Kenneth Mackintosh to a Star reporter this afternoon."I shall not order an investigation. That must be orderedby Sheriff Smith. If he needs any assistance, of course mylervicee will be djajmai,

John F. Miller Doubts It.

Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Miller,'who was active-ly engaged in the case against Mrs. Creffield, does not l<x>kwith favor on the suicide theory. •

. "I do not believe that Mrs. Creffield took poison," hesaid. "Ifshe did why didn't Esther Mitchell? The two wereboon companions.

"If Mrs. Crefficld did take pofson.as the coroner'sautopsy intimates, then it must have been given to her theday before she died, Mr*. Levins, Mrs. Creffield's cousin,who lives on Pike St., was the last relative to visit her. Shewas with Mrs. Crcffield the day before she died, which waslast Thursday."

Brothar Not lntfr»«t»d.

Frank Hurt, brother of Mr*. Maud Crvffl.'M. when an-n tbJs »f---trcnoon by a Star reporter and Informal of the probable suicide ofbU sister, staled that be hail noihioc to say. He appeared to tai«no Interest In the report one way or i:,. other.
