SINISTER MYSTERY
POISON FOUND IN EXHUMED BODY BAFFLING CROYDON CASE (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) LONDON, Friday. At the opening of the inquest concerning the death of Mr. Edward Duff, one of the alleged victims of the Croydon poisoning case, the coroner announced that arsenic had been found in every tissue of the exhumed body. The doctor’s statement revealed that four-fifths of a grain had been actually found in the body. Mr. Thomas Sidney, a brother of Mrs. Duff, said in his evidence that the couple were happily married, although he saw Mr. Duff really angry with his wife just before he went on a fishing holiday. This was unusual, because the deceased man was always good tempered. The inquest was adjourned.
