Siniititnal Testimony Brought Oat Aelnsi Dud Man's Wife. MRS, WOODS DtPICTS SCENE AT DEATHBED Mr. Frnat Is Arrested and Complain on Wny to J it II of Itijaatlce of the Authorities mid Community, (Continued from First Page.) then the doctor gave him some stuff, I asked the doctor what was the matter, but , he would not tell me. "It must havo been near 11:30 when Mr. Stclnbaugh came In and the doctor scat him 1 at once for somo medicine, a remedy which 1 afterward learned was an antidote for later to say that the drug stores were all closed and that he could not arouse any one. Then tho doctor sent him out a second time. "Meanwhile Mr. Frost had had several convulsicns, followed by Intervals of calm, during which ho would bo perfectly con-1 sclous, but he said very little. onco be said: 'Tell Arthur to bo a good boy.' Hoi seemed to know ho was dying. His last I words were: 'Maggie, I love you.' TheM were addressed to bis wife. All this tlmo she was banging over him weeping, wringing her hands and making a great ado, but somehow, It seemed to be all put on. "When life was extinct the doctor put on his hat and went away and soon afterward Mr. Stelnbaugh returned a second time to report as before that ho could not get into a drug store. "When told that Mr. Frost was dead he sat down on tho foot of the bed in which tho corpse lay. Mrs. Froit kneeled down beside him, burlod her face in his lap nnd wept, while he, with his arms 'about her, talked to her kindly. They remained this way for some time, then she said: 'Mr. Stelnbaugh, you must get toady and go with me to Ames tomorrow, when I take tho corpse there for burial.' "Ho replied: 'I am afraid my business won't permit.' "Their conversation continued In th's strain for a quarter of an hour and then I made Mrs. Frost go upstairs with me and go to bed. FlK "res Up Life Innnrnncc. "Tho first thing she did when she was alone with mo was to figure up how much life Insurance was coming to her from tho two lodges to which Mr. Frost belonged. I believe sho mado It out to bo $3,000. 1 thoush this rather mercenary and hard- hearted under tho circumstances, but ialdnoon at 2 oio, nothing about It. i "The next morning, when sho and I went j Edtrnril O. I.oerli. downstairs, we found Mr. Stelnbaugh there' NEW YORK, May 1. Edward O. Leech, with the corpse. The greeting between him ( former director of the mint, who under and Mrs. Frost was most affectionate, so went an operation for appendicitis In Mount much so that I became disgusted and with- ( stnal hospital April 12, died In that Instltu drew from the room, closing the door. A Hon tonight. Previous to tho morglng cf tho fow minutes later she emerged, and seem- Ingly much pleased, announced that Mr. Stelnbaugh Wns going with her to Ames." This. In substance, was the testimony given by Mrs. Woods beforo the coioner's j Jury, but Mr. Stelnbaugh did not accompsny vi. ' t'ro.. tr. Ame. nor did Mrs. Frost'co. though arrangements progressed along these lines for a few hours Friday morning. The lodges to which tho deceased had belonged , fl,n .,nnPd m nml refused to oermlt Mr. i Stelnbaugh to go, appointing two lodge men In his place. Later In the day this plan was frustrated by tho Interference of the authorities. Word had reached the county attorney that things did not look right at tho Frost home, and in accordance with this information ho caused the body to be re tained In York for a post, mortem examlna .nri innurxt and later ordered It to be , r 2 M Interred here. Testimony of IJoelor. Dr. Vrandenburg. the attending physician, testified before the coroner's Jury that thi. deceased died with all the symptoms of strychnine poisoning and this was corrob orated by four other physicians, among them Coroner William R. Knapp, who had e"t- jj j amlned the body after death. One of these gentlemen niu; "His arms wero flexed upon the body, his ' hands were tightly clenched, the soles of this feet were turned Inward and the mus:Ies I of bit legs were contracted, all conditions peculiar to poisoning by strychnine. "The woman said that she bought the poison to kill rats," hei continued, "but though we made a thorough search of tho premises wo could see no signs of rats or of rats having been there. We found a plate of corn meal, which we supposed might con tain strychnine designed to kill rats, but It was In a place where- no rat could get It. This meal and the stomach of the deceased will be analyzed by a chemist. "Wo found In the house four different kinds cf poison rat cheese, strychnin, tincture of aconite and laudanum. From one bottle containing strychnine about one third of the original contents bad been taken." The coroner's Jury hold a session Monday night to take tho evidence of C. M. Huscher, tinikoiiJn.llnf .rif Iha lf(r Tk9tA l Yl f Vi n H nr. . .. , Am-. v wWo ,ho Vrncla move(, , york a aR0 Hu9cher wM aecompanIei by a Mr. Mack, a neighbor. Both tentlfled that Mrs. Frost had been very wild while In Kansas nnd that sho was known In the community of which Ames Is the center as a notorious flirt. But the most material evidence given by Mr. Huscher was n letter written by Mrs. Frost to her htiflband's parents warn ing them of his approaching death and bid ding them mako arrangements for his fu neral. This Intter was dated at York, Tues day, April 24, three days before he was taken HI. Mrs. Frost's Letter. This Is the only letter In the hands of the coroner's Jury, the many lettem known to have been received by her from Charles Klrby having disappeared. It is supposed sho destroyed them before the authorities made a search of tho premises, as she bad read parto of tho mleslves to female friends, I HQwcvcr, tho substance of them has been 2 I placed beforo tho Jury In the nature of oral evidence. Thcso women testified that tho letters wero full of endearing terms, posi tively sickening In their wealth of words and phrases expressive of love. Mw. Frost attempts to explain this away by saying thnt the letters recolved by her from Klrby were really Intended for one of i ! her pupils, a young woman named Maud Churchill, but Miss Churchill Indignantly denies this. It Is known that tho envelopes bore tbe name of .Mrs. Frost and not that of Miss Churchill. A month ago Charles Klrby wan married under protest to a young woman of York with whom ho had been criminally Intimate Both before and after this incident his brazen attentions to Mrs, Frost were tho talk of the town W. W. Wyckoff. city attorney, returned from Omaha Monday, where ho had gone with the stomach of tho deceased, Ho left It with Dr. Hoblnson, Union Pactflc chemist, No. 1112 Dodge street. Tills was done be- caune Dr. Nicholson, the state chemist at Lincoln, Is In Europe and will not return for soveral months. Dr. Robinson says It will take ten days or two weeks to analyze the stomach. William S. Robinson, assajer and chemist, has In his possession tbe stomach of Mr. Frost. When seen at his residence last night 0.1 r. Roblraon declined to give any intimation ot his Investigation into the cate. "I oxpect," said Mr Robinson, "to be called before the coroner's Jury at York some time during this week and I will then make public the result of my Investigation. It would be absolutely Impossible for me to discuss the matter In advance of that time." DEATH RECORD. Vlelor lllerliotver. SrOKANE, Wash., May 1. (Spe;lal Tele gram.)
