EVIDENCE THAT MRS. LE DOUX TRIED T0 LL McVICAR [N SAN' FRANCINCO. Albert N. McVicar, victim of the grewsome Stockton trunk tragedy, was treated for poisoning at - the Lexington Hotel on Eddy street, this city, on the night of March 12 by Dr. John F .,Dillgn. Two days later Mrs. Le Doux purchased a quantity of cyanide of potassium and a dram of morphine here. —— SHE SUMMONS DR DILLON TO ATTEND H .

District Attorney Norton Coming Here Today to Follow Up New Clew in Case. “I am satisfied that a previous attempt was made to murder Mc- Vicar by poison and that I saved his life.” 3 This startling statement was made last night by D John F.| former-candidate for“Corofer and m—%m;&’z&é{h&i& local Health Board, as well as one of the best known physicians and surgeons in the city. "Dr. Dillon was called in by Mrs. Emma Le Doux to treat Albert N. McVicar for poisoning on the night of March 12 in this city, and his prompt action saved the life of the man who afterward met such a terrible fate in Stockton. District Attorney Norton of Stockton will arrive here today to confer with Dr. Dillon regarding this new and strange phase of the case. On the date given Dr. Dillon received a telephone call from Mrs. Le Doux, whom he had known for years, to come immediately to the Lexington House, 212A Eddy street, room 21. He was met by Mrs. Le Doux, who, in ‘excited tcnes, said: “Mac is in the room and he is very sick. I want you to see what you can do for him. I think he has been poisoned.” z Dr. Dillon Quickly Restores McVicar. Before entering the room Dr. Dillon askéd the woman what the cause was and what he had swallowed, thinking McVicar might have attempted suicide. Mrs. Le Doux said she did not know. The physician made a hasty examination of McVicar for ar- senic or morphine poisoning, and, seeing his patient was writhing in terrible agony and was apparently in a very bad state, he immediately applied the usual emergency methods to relieve the man. The treat- ment had the desired effect, and after Dr. Dillon washed out the stomach thoroughly he gave McVicar a light sleeping potion. When McVicar had recovered enough to talk weakly Dr. Dillon asked him what he had taken. “I do not know,” was the answer, and, pointing to the woman, McVicar said, “She said it was the clams and beer we had a short time ago.” - Mrs. Le Doux Makes Request for Poison. At this juncture the woman, startled and perplexed, said, “Oh, yes. I forgot to tell you. We did have beer and clams and they must have poisoned him.” However, there was nothing the matter with her, although she had partaken of the same refreshments as McVicar and at the same time. After reviving McVicar and administeri potion Dr. Dillon left the house, as the pa right and was sleeping peacefully. The p returned the next day and found McVicar much better, though still weak. He advised Mrs. Le Doux to take him out for an airing. ? Dr. Dillon thought nothing more of this jncident, but Mrs. Le Doux called at his office, northwest corner of Harrison and Fourth| N 3 to him the sl g seemed to be streets, the next day.

The doctor was startled when the woman made this request, bist wreathing his face in a jocular smile he said, “You’re not going to give him any more, are you?” Mrs, Le Doux quickly responded, “I only want this to develop photographs with. I am a great ama- teur photographer and do all my own work. I can easily secure the drug in Stockton, where I am known, but it is hard for me to it here. I came to you because you know mie and can help me get it.” Dr. Dillon went into the drug store and picking up the bottle that bore the label of the drug discovered it was empty. .
