FEAR OF POISON IS FATAL
Verdict af Coroner at Chicago Skews
Woman Died from
Fright.
CHICAGO, Deo. 22. "Not poisoned, but
dead because she thought she had been
poisoned," waa the singular verdict pro
nounced by Coroner's Physician Springer
today after performing an autopsy on the
body of Virginia Jackson, an aged colored
woman and former slave. The autopsy
waa performed In the belief that the
strange circumstances of the woman's
death were Indicative of murder.-
"This old lady thought she had been
poisoned," said Springer, "and It affected
her heart to such an extent that It killed
her. The heart actually burst. A neigh,
bor, known to be a friend of Mrs. Gil
lesple, gave Mrs. Jackson a bottle con'
talnlng some kind of a brownish liquid."
Evidently, say the police, the old colored
woman jumped at the conclusion, on feel
Ing 111 , Immediately after she had tasted
of the contents of the bottle,' that she
had been poisoned and the fear of death
killed her. , , ,
