"J. F. o." Ha was about years ot ace
and appeared to be a prosperous farmer.
. Mrs. R, Van tine, who runs the rooming-
house, found the body at T: o'clock.
he says that the man and woman
brought the unknown man to their room
about s o'clock Thursday night and that
he waa very drunk. The woman In
formed Mrs. Vanttno that he was a
"dear friend" and that be would occupy
their room that night. If Mrs. "Vantlne
could procure them another room. This
arrangement was made, but they did not
occupy the aew room. -

When Mr. Van One started for work la
the moraine ha saw an express wagon
drive up and the Ridleys place their trunk
and suit case In It. and drive hurriedly
away. His suspicions were aroused and
he notified his wife by telephone to in
vestigate. Mrs, Van tine went to the room
and found the dead body and the room

pieces, clothes bans and there, and al
most everything that would recall the
dead man's Identity mixing.

the sot tie containing the poison. Dr.
, Golden and A. f. Spain, assistant te the
coroner, overlooked It In their March of
the room. The cork was loose In the
top, Indicating It had been used. Only a
alight odor could be detected la the towel,
but It corresponded with the odor from
the bottle.
