POISONED CHOCOLATES,
'THE WARWICK TRAGEDY
LOVER’S DISTURBING EVIDENCE
[UNITED PEESS ASSOCIATION—COPYEIGHT]
(Received Dec. 20. 5.55 p.m.) BRISBANE, Dec. 20
At the inquiry into the death of Aliss Zillman, who died in great agony after eating chocolates received by post, one doctor said there were no very marked symptoms of poisoning. Another doctor said there were several characteristics of strychnine jaoisoning.
Airs Peterson, who was Aliss Zillman’s companion, and who recovered after eating some of the chocolates, deposed that some packages Aliss Zillman received by post included one from a Airs Walker, her former housekeeper. Burgess, a mail whom Aliss Zillman was engaged to marry, deposed to posting letters and a parcel to Aliss Zillman, but no chocolates. He admitted that he had certain relations with Airs Walker, having promised to marry her if her husband died or got a divorce. After their separation, Mrs Walker said she would leave him free to marry as it was not fair to ask him to wait. She seemed pleased when he became engaged to Aliss Zillman.
