Mystery in Diphtheria Case Prompts Cyanide Poison Claim
New York January 4 Detective Captain McClusky released Henry Beaman Douglas's account of H C Barnet a Knickerbocker club member who died in November 1898 ten days after using a sample box of Kulnow powder. Dr Douglas treated him for diphtheria but cyanide of mercury was found in the powder though no cyanide symptoms appeared before death. The case ties to a prior Mrs Kate Adams death from a mailed bottle. The doctor testified Barnet died of heart failure after diphtheria and undue exertion, while McClusky noted another poisoned package linked to the Cornish case. He said no arrest imminent.
