Her Husband Ilucsmo 111,
Upon the body of Silas Belles, of Onk
Hill, the cause of whose sudden death
remains still a mystery, an uutopsy
wus performed yesterduy morning by
Coroner John A. Kelly, assisted by Dr.
It. W. Stevens, of Mooslo, und Chemist
Charles Koenipel, of the flrni of Luienz
& Koempel, of! Washington, Juvenue,
this city.
John H. Jordun, Martin Bird, Thomas
Stanton, I). S. Ryan, Daniel J. Mort
ality, and John T. Brown were sworn
us a Jury of Inquest und the body wus
removed from the? undertaker's box
und subjected to u dissecting operation.
The front part of the thorax und the
upper portion of the ubdomlnal cavity
were exposed to view. Tho coroner
first removed the stiimneli and com
mitted It to the cure of Chemist Koem
pel, who enclosed It In a glass Jar and
then departed for his lahrutory to
make? an analysis of the contents of the
organ und uscertuln whether uny pois
onous sulmtiiiico should bo found,
which would solve the mystery of the
man's death.
An examination of the lungs fullud
to account for the cause of death; both
bronchial organs bore traces of pleur
isy troubles, but nothing to indicate
thut death wus the result of their col
lapse. The heart was In prime con
dition, lnsldu It were large clots of
blood, and these. Coroner Kelly suys,
must be the cause of death If no poison
cuu be found In the stuinuch. The kid
neys were cut open and found free
from any organic ailment. After the
coroner finished his post mortem ex
amination the boly was sewed up and
then the testimony of several witnesses
wus heard. County Detective Thomas
Leyshon wus present on the part of the
commonwealth und was of valuable
assistance to the coroner iu eliciting
Information from those who presumed
to know unythlug ubout the true state
of affairs.

William Hadbey, superintendent In
Scranton of the Metropolitan Life In
heard. The deceased came to his of
s ura nee company was the first one
flee last Monday and wanted to know
if he could not get the books and poli
cies held by his wife. She hud left him
and he did not propose to allow life In
surance on him to be of any benefit to
her us she was gone from his home.
Mr. Hadbey told Belles he would in
struct the ugent who made the collec
tions to procure the policies ns soon us
Mrs. Belles appeared to muke the pay
ment on the premiums. One 'policy
was taken out In UsO for J10U; one In
1SK0 for (230; and the last was tukvn

Mrs. Belles, wife of the deceased, was
sworn. She was trembling and walling
all through her testimony and told a
rambling story. Dr. Pier, of Avoca,
wus their family physician and treated
her husband for lung trouble. He pre
scribed a liquid which contained a good
portion of creosote, a deadly poison.
Her husband took foiir drops of this
medicine at a time. She did not know
whether he took any of It the day be
fore he died. He always prepared it
himself and she never remembered hav
ing given him a dose of It. The reason
she left home was because he choked
her and Inflicted other Indignities. Her
son followed his father's example often
and assisted In making her life miser
able. She denied that the life Insur
ance was taken out ugalnst her hus
bund's will; he knew all about It, she
suld.
She left home a week last Wednesday
nnd went to her mother's home In
Mooslc. Because of a motherly feeling
for her boy she returned home after an
absence of one week all but a day.
Hupper was prepared ut the usual hour
Wednesday evening. The bill of fare
was pork und beans, bread und butter,
and a cup of tea. Her husband eat
heartily and went to Mooslc to try and
persuade their son to return home.
1 se J to Take Morphine.
He came back without Eddie and
reached home ubout D o'clock. He used
morphine powders and usually took one
before going to bed each night nnd lie
took one that night. No sooner had lie
swallowed It than he complained of Ill
ness. He prayed for a long time and was
not able to arise from his knees. She
thought he had an epileptic tit and sent
for some of the neighbors. She was
positive she did not give him any medi
cine that night at all. Until he died the
next morning she remained at his side.
Moses and Simon P. Belles, brothers
of the deceased, gave testimony. In
the main It was not Important, except
thut part of the story of the hitter
which referred to threats that were
made by the wife of the deceased. The
dead man often told his brother he was
afraid that he would be poisoned and
expressed a strong desire to have his
stomach nnnlyzed when he died.
Mrs. 8. P. Belles did not hear any of
these remarks made by the deceased to
her husband. Mrs. Hugh Sheridan,
thp mother of Mrs. Belles, came when
word was sent to her that her daugh
ter's husband was dying. She remained

and P. F. O'Hara, Justice of the peace
of Lackawanna township, swore that
the dead man conlided to them that he
was afraid his wife would poison him.
He told them thut she was unfaithful
to him. '
Dr. Stevens' Testimony.
Dr. Stevens, of Mooslc, who was
called to attend the case after the man
lapsed Into insensibility, was sworn.
Tho doctor said lie found the patient
suffering from suspension of respira
tion, and the only condition of anima
tion was tho pulse; it throbbed regular
ly, seventy times a minute. To all oth
er nppcurances the man was substan
tially dead. Tho doctor prescribed
atropine In one-sixteenth of a grain
doses. Tho first impression was that
the symptoms were very extraordinary.
Atropine Is an antidote to opium poi
soning. The doctor prescribed It both
as an antidote and a respiratory stimu
lunt. He was of the opinion thut the
man's condition wus due to poisoning
from medicine tuken in ubnormul doses
Intentionally or otherwise.
The inquest adjourned until Monday
evening at 7.30 ut the otllce of Coroner
Kelley, on Lackawanna avenue.
IX LOCAL THEATERS.
The Al. O. Field minstrels, which ap
pears at the Frothinghum this evening,
carry a full carload of special scenery
this season In order to properly present
the beautiful spectacular pantomime of
"Aladdin; or the Wonderful Lump,"
which is given In addition to the min
strel programme. There is an unctuous
humor ubout the black-face comedian
that finds no parallel In other fields
of comic art, and, though his Jests be
stale, still his method of telling them Is
so peculiarly his own thut the laugh
at u minstrel show Is broader, louder
und longer than that brought forth by
the best comedy art of the legitimate
stage. All minstrel shows, It may be
Bald, are good, but some, us Billy Man
ning used to Bay, ure very much better
than others, and in this last-mentioned
class Al. G. Field's performance cer
tainly belongs,
II l II
"The Pay Train," a sensational com
edy drama, with Florence Bindley as
the star, will be at the Academy of
Music tonight An exchange says that
Miss Blndley's songs and playing on
glasses were among the must attractive
features of tho play. She made good
hits In the sentimental songs, "Kiss
and Make Up Again," and the ballad
"If the Waters Could Speak as They
Flow." The scenic effects are above
the average, and the scene In which a
train of ears, drawn by a locomotive,
crosses the stuge at full speed presents
a startling mechanical effect. A very
acceptable actor Is Fin Reynolds. His
singing with 'Miss Bindley Is exception
ally pleasing. Miss Maggie Fielding as
Bridget McGonnigle possesses all the
churucteristcs of a comic Irish lady.
