Spears en a charge of being accessory to tho fact Mra L. J, Whitman died about two weeks ago at her residence No 1, Essex street, Charles- town, as it was then suppused, from the efteets of some Paris green, which she inbaled, a quantity of that poisonous powder having been used sround the water pipes to drt away water bugs, This theory.was generally accepted, and Medical Exam- iner Dra, deemed an inquest unnecessary. Dr. Fuller, a local physician, however, made an autopsy and discovered, instead of Paris green in the lungs, arsenic in the stomach. Dr. Spear had en offiee on Main street, 1a he had been called in to attend Mra, Whitman when she was first til, Dr. Fuller, before making the autopsy, insisted that Dr. Spear be present. At this Dr. Spear hesi- tated and refnsed to witness the autopsy, as Dr, Ful- ler is a0 allopathist and Dr, Spear a bLomoopathist, His friends, however, persuaded him to be present, ‘The result of the examipation was that large quanti- ties of poison were found in ti tomach, suflicient to kill three persons, To this both physicians agreod, The investigation developed the fact that the woman did not imbalo Paris green; that there was none of that substance about the house or used in apy way. The poison a been taken into the stomach, The stomach was sealed up toawait further developments. Medical Examiner Draper, bearing vb autopsy had been made and Poison found in the stomach, called on Dr, Fullor ana Got bis statement of the case, and immediately took the m r into bis own bands and began alysis ef the stomach to ascertain the nature of the poison, ‘TUK SUPPOSED MOTIVE.

Just before her motner’s di girl was heard to sav. to the doct r aud friends ofthe family, ‘‘l wonder if toat paris green which we have been using to kill water bugs could have poisoned mothor?” Ibis remark was tho first intimation of the probs ble cause, ava on this statement of the girl Medical Examiner Draper based his decision as to (he cause of the death, ‘Dr. Spear was arrested alter the autopsy haa beon made, and on the arrival of Mavel from Maine she, was loekea up. ‘The theory was at once et up that Spear and the girl conspired to poison Mra, Whit- man aud secure the property. ‘ TUR EXAMINATION, ‘This morning, at tea o’vivck, Dotn were arraigned. Mabel wus closely veiled, ani responded to the in- quiry, ‘Not guilty.” i Dr, Draper was the first witners called. The drift of the examination was to show shat Mabel Whitman bought the poison mother, while tb W human bad been in the havtt of using the arsenic for her complexion. A light powder was found in porcelain Kettle which resembied arsenic and caused some diflorence of opinion among the ductors. Dr. W. B.
