■ EXTRAORDINARY STORY United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received 29th September, noon.) SYDNEY, This Day. A startling disclosure was made at tho inquiry into the death of Percy Gow, a Chinese merchant, who, with a European wife, lived in the city. Medical evidence showed tho presence of arsenic in Gow's stomach. Gow had a lingering illness, and his widow a few days after his death married Ernest Trapman, of the Australian Navy, who frequently visited the Gows, and admitted familiarity with Mrs. Gow, whom he loved very dearly. Tho police produced a statement in which Trapman declared that Gow begged Trapman to give him poison to finish him. Trapman first declined, and then agreed, and gave Gow a spoonful of arsenic. Gow died. The inquiry was adjourned.
