[Pas Press Association/) # AUCKLAND, Jan. 13. , At the inquest on the remains of Uelson there was no evidence to show how the arsenic got into the jar from which the grocer supplied the family with the cup- . posed cream of tartar. This jar, full of the article sold as cream of tartar, was bought from Meßßrs Sharland and Cos An employee of that firm deposed that the cream of tartar was sent out from London, and arsenic could not have got into the iar while it was. at Sharland and Co.'s premises. He did not think the firm was to blame, as the arsenic and cream of tartar were kept in separate departments. The jury returned a verdict "That death was caused by arsenic poison contained in a jam sandwich," and added a rider that chemists should be more careful in future, but informed the Coroner that this was not intended as a reflection upon any particular chemist or chemists. They wished to give a general warning to those dealing in poisons.
