LANGDON HELD FOR GRAND JURY. Pnyslclans Who Examined the Body De clare That Miss MoOrath Was In Perfect Health and They Can Give no Reason for Her Death. Philadelphia, April 4. Coroner Ash brlilgo yostorday held nn Inquest Into tho mysterious death of Anniu AIcGrath, and at tho conclusion of the testimony tho jury found n verdict recommending that Samuel 1". Langdon, whoso mistress tho girl had been, ba hold to await tho notion of tho grand Jury. Ho was committed wlthout ball. Tho most important wltnoss was llorthn Stewart, the colored servant girl. Slio re peated her original story without varia tion. Tho last she saw hor mistress allvo was at 8 o'clook on Sunday afternoon, when sho gavo hor Instructions to havo tho dinner rendy nt 4:80. When tho wit ness rang for dinner sho heard n scream nnd ran up stairs. Sho knocked on tlio door nnd Langdon responded. Ho was in his night clothes, nnd when tho .witness asked what tho matter was Langdon told hor that Annie had a bilious attack. Bortlm asked If sho could get a doctor, nnd Langdon said that it was Hot neces sary, but told her to get him a pitcher of water. Sho hoard no moro of elthor Lang don or Annio that ovonlng Sho waited dinner until 0 o'clock. Two hours Inter sho listened at tho door and heard loud liroathing. At 11 o'clook sho wont to tho door again, and heard tho loud breathing. Then she wont to bed. On tho following day sho did not seo anything of cithor ouo until B o'oloek In tlio nftornoon. At that tlmo Langdon camo down stairs and asked for something to cat. Sho asked how "tho family wa," and Langdon said that lio was ill and that "Mrs. Langdon was poorly." The witness wanted to tako some poached oggs and toast up st ilrs.but Langdon said that it was not nocessary, as "his wlfo did not want anything." Ho got something to oat nnd than wont upstairs. Subsequently ho camo down again ready to go out. Ho spoko to her about hor wagos, and gavo her $3.60, nnd started out, saying that ho was going ivwny. Ho went as far as tho door and returned and handed tho key to liertha, tolling her that sho could uso It In caso sho wanted to go out. It was tho first timo that Langdon had over gone out without Annlo lu tho ovenlug. Prior to that Monday night Langdon had never mentioned tho subjoetof monoy to the witness, and never boforo paid her. Sho was ongaged by Annio, nnd always recolvcd tho pay from her. After Lang don went out she concluded to go up stairs nnd seo If "Mrs. Langdon" would not havo something to oat. Sho knocked at tho door, but received no nnswor, and tho knocking was repoated without any effect. Then sho wont in. Tho room was dark, and sho hoard no Bound. Sho struck n match and lighted tho gas. Annio was lying on tho bed In pre cisely tho samo position as on Sunday, when sho peorod through tho open door way, whllo handing Laugdon tho pitcher of wntor. Sho thought that Annlo was doad, and ran down stairs. To assuro herself, how ever, sho called, but received no nuswor. Then sho left tho houso nnd went homo, where sho Informed her brothor of what sho had seon, and thoy returned to tho neighborhood. Thoro they found Police man Keck, nnd notified him of tho case. Anothor important witness was Drug gist Howard A. Sausser, who said that tho girl, a personal friend, had bought chloroform from lilm on tho Wednesday preceding her death. Sho said sho wanted tho drug to kill a canary bird. Sho seemed to bo downcast and questioned him as to which poison would end llf o witli tho least pain. Rolatlvos of tho girl discredit tho testi mony of this last witness. They point significantly to tho fact that ho has main tained sllenco until tho Inquest, and ns sort that on Thursday last ho was In con sultation with Langdon's lawyors, Whllo they admit that the girl may havo pur chased chloroform from him, thoy deny tho Intimation that she contemplated sui cide. It was shown lu Sausoer's examina tion that thorecordof thosaloof thochlor oform had boon mado since tho tragedy. Dr. Loffmatin, who made a chemical analysis of tho girl's stomach, said ho had found no trace of any kind of poison. Nelthor ho nor Coroner's Physician Mat teru could say what caused death. Ap parently tlio body win lu thu oondltlon of n woman enjoying perfoct health. Thoru woro no signs of disease, no marks of vlo lenco and no ovldoncos of poison lu tlio stomach. A number of witnesses tostlfled to tho doubtful relations which existed between Langdon and tho girl, and thu coroner, lu instructing tho jury, said that whllo noth ing of a posltlvo character lnul been proved ugainst Langdon, tliuy should take into consideration tlio fact that ho kept silent, probably fearing something If thoy thought him lu any degreo responsible for k'or death they should Incorporate It In their verdict. Tho jury dollboruted eighteen minutes. Whatever Langdon knows about tho jcath of his luamorata ho has not told, i'ho, only stntoniont ho mado regarding that fateful Sunday and Monday was lu osplutiatlouof tho omry la his memoran dum book: "A. died at 10 p. in." Ho ac knowledged to the coroner that while ho did not actually know it, ho believed that Annie died nt that time, and gavo It as his reason for sleeping upon tlio iloor all night. It was shown at tlio lnquost that Lang don registered at a prominent hotel on Monday ulglit hh John Jones, of San Fran cisco. Ho dd iot oxplalu why ho wont there Instead of feturnlug to tho Glrard avenuo houso, if,l as ho said on the day of his arrest, li dtdmuL kno w i hat Annie was duad. but only Uil when ho lult her. Nor am no oxpinln suusequentiy wny rio lets hor body In tho houso, knowing, as ho said ho know, that sho was dead on Sunday night. Anothor statement adduced was that Langdon had been making arrange ments to Install another young woman In a houso lu Now York. Tlia mystery of tho caso Is no nearer a solution tliau it was before tlio inquest. Langdon was not permitted by his attor neys, A. S. L. Shields and Arthur Moore, to tako tho wituoss stand, and tho only posslblo way to ascertain tho truth, if Langdon really knows It, was cut off. HU silence was criticized by tho coroner, but ho was nctlug upon tho advlco of couu sl, and maintained that silence. At UriM'n'H lUnlto Care. Nico sour krout to-night. Plenty for every body.
