A neighbor discovered the body of | the woman lying across the front door- | step, and further search revealed the | doctor's body in his room. { Hasty examination showed that the | woman had died from internal hem- orrhages, resulting from an operation. The theory is that Dr. Campbell per- | formed the operation some time dur, ing the night, and on discuvering the! fatal result killed himself. His death | was due to cyanide of potassium. i i Dr. Campbell was twenty-four years | i | old and a graduate of the Medico-Chi- | ~ rurgical college in Philadelphia. He! was a son of Dr. Hans Campbell, a well-known physician of Path Valley, Franklin county. A few months ago! the young man went to New German- town and set himself up in practice, | taking a room at the home of Ira Mor rison, a local dealer in cattle. Morrison went to Dry Run, fourteen miles away, on Saturday to attend a picnic and to buy cattle, and remained over Sunday. He hastened home | when notifiel of the tragedy. | About 11 o'clock at night David Kra- mer, a neighbor, thought he heard | moaning in the Morrison house as he passed, but as no light was visible he concluded he was mistaken. At 6 | o'clock in the morning, Luther Ray passed the Morrison home and saw two bare feet protruding from the half open front door. Running up the steps,’ he was horrified to find the body of | Mrs. Morrison in her night clothes and bathed in blood. Sie was dead. Hurrying on into the house, Ray found the body of the young doctor in his room, dead on the floor. Beside him was a partly empty vial of cyanide of potassium. Dr. Campbell's hands were bloody and his shirt was spattered with blood. The instruments with which the operatioa had been performed on Mrs. Morrison were found in such con- dition as to leave no doubt of what! had taken piace. A coroner's fury was hastily sum- moned, and word was sent to Dis trict Attorney Rice, who hastened to the scene from New Bloomsfield. The jury found a verdict to the effect that Mrs. Morrison had died from the ef- fects of an operation, and that Dr. Campbell had died from poison iaken with suicidal intent, as a result of the disastrous outcome of the operation. Mrs. Morrison was thirty-five years old. Dr. Campbell had been pracicing at New Germantown only about six months. During all of that time he had boarded with the Morrisons.
