YORK. Neb., , AprfPag. (Special.) In
vestigation Into tho death of Charles Frost
continues, and as It progresses the fact that
something mysterious,. ;if not criminal, lurks
behind his taking off Is becoming manifest.
All day yesterday and far Into tho night the
coroner conducted hlailnqulry behind closed
doors, but not a, Uttlo of tho testimony
taken has leaked out. It has been settled
that Frost died from tho effect of poison,
probably strychnine, or. somo preparation
of strychnine. It has also been dcvclopod
that Mrs. Margaret Frost, wife of tho dead
man, bought on several occasions recently
strychnine and other forms of poison, say
ing sho wanted It for rats. Mrs. Frost
admits buying tho poison, saying sho used
somo of It herself and gave somo to a i
friend who lives In the country. Medical,
testimony given at tho inquest was to tho
effect that Frost died from tho effects of
corroslvo poison. What now remains to bo
developed is what sort of poison it was and
who gave It to him.
iMany runioro, some of them decidedly dis
quieting, are being circulated today. So fur
aa Is known Frost nnd his wifo lived very
happily together. Front was nn Industrious
man, about 37 years of ago and a mombcr of
tho Maccabees and tho Homo Forum, In
which orders ho carried $3,000 Insurance. Ills
wifo conducted a dressmaking ochool nt their
homo here. During tho progress of tho In
quest poma letters wero read, alleged to
havo been written to Mrs. Frost by a trav
eling man who dots not llvo in York. Up to
dato tho naturo of these lottcrs has beon
kept from tho public, but tho authorities aro
taking unusual tHcps in tho investigation.
Tomorrow morning tho stomach of tho dead
man will ho tnken to Lincoln by tho city at
torney, whero nn analysis will bo mado by
the atato chemist. Until tho result of this
nnnlysls Is returned tho Jury will not rendor
