The inquest failed to throw the least light on tho death of Lieutenant Cheviss. An open verdict was returned after the widow described the meal in detail. The police admitted that they had failed to trace the source of the strychnine or sender of the “ hooray ’’ telegram. [ln connection with the poisoning case at Aldershot, in which Lieutenant Cheviss, of the Royal Artillery, died on June 21 after eating partridge contaminated with strychnine, the police were convinced that the person who sent the mysterious telegram to the deceased's father, Sir William Cheviss, was the person who purchased strychnino from a Dublin chemist. Tho identity of the person was stated to be known and early developments were expected.]
