According to the story of the Intter the two had been together since last Sunday. Last night they were discussing the effects of opium, when the man said: “What is the effect of morphine? You know all about it.” “Suppose we trs it,” she said. In a moment she had mixed a draught, and handing it to her paramour said, “drink.” He did as commanded, and she followed suit, taking a larger dose. The two then lay down on acomfort in the poorly furnished front room. One of the peculiar effects of mor- phine is that it produces an itching sensa- tion on the nose, and turning to the man the woman asked if hisnose itched. He replied that it did not and she suggested another dose, as he evidently had not taken enough. “Lpoured a little out on the palm of my hand, said the man to a Sran reporter, “and asked her if that was enongh.
