Death by self harm theory debated at Stanford inquiry
Honolulu reports the inquest into Mrs Stanford's death may close tomorrow with High Sheriff Henry disputing a self harm theory. He traced the bottle’s history from San Francisco and insists no poison was added locally, while Attorney General Andrews questions aim to elicit self harm implications. Chemists cite that fatality would require simultaneous bicarbonate of soda and a capsule containing strychnine, amounts found to be only about one twelfth grain. San Francisco authorities say no strychnine was found at Mrs Stanford's residence and further questioning of household staff will cease.
