TOE SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER: SUNDAY. MAY 31. 925 IN i OLD CHAPEL TO RE-OPEN. OLD RUSSIAN I THE NOB HILL MYSTERY By STELLA WYNNE- FOB FDRESTEHS 0PEND00RS 1 If' I 5s tZ Sanctuary at Fort Ross, After a Century of Negligence, to Be used on the Fourth of July (Continued from yesterday.) "It was at some point during the drive back in the taxi with Miss Crittenden that the film of wax melted sufficiently to allow poison through. There was an infintesimal scratch on his chest, I noticed, doubtless made by the tiny point freed of its wax covering, and this the more quickly allowed the deadly poison to enter his blood.

"Suke, who had been watching for three days, was on hand in the hall to help carry the body of the murdered man upstairs when Mr. Almes, Kelly and I brought him quietly in by a side entrance. In putting the sheet over the body, Suke managed to abstract the poisoned stud from the dead man's shirt; he wished to hide all evidence of what had really killed him. Rut in removing the stud, he himself was barely touched on the hand by its poisoned point. He had an antidote which ho took immediately, but this only seemed to arrest the poison's course.

It became active again as the effect of the antidote wore off, although not with its first strength. He was' taken violently ill while being questioned by Mr. McArthur after the murder." Dr. Cressey looked in the direction of the detective, who gave a slight nod as if to verify his remark. He continued: "What Euke intended to do that night when he came into the room of the dead man was to replace the" original pearl stud the one he had taken out to make room for the filed and poisoned one so that instead of a stud being missing in the dress suit and perhaps in some manner arousing suspicion, all three would innocently be in place.

It was this stud I forced out of his hand, and later analyzed in my laboratory, finding, of course, nothing. "And now, gentlemen, the Dr. Cressy held up the little white box, the size of a ring box. In sight of the jury, broke the seal and took off the cover with the utmost caution. "In this box, gentlemen, is the 'poisoned shirt stud.

I think you can all see it, but as a physician, I wouldn't advise you to touch It." The Jurors craned forward to look, but none of them seemed inclined to examine more closely the seemingly harriiless dress shirt stud. Dr. Cressy handed the little box as evidence to the clerk of the court, who received it very delicately and wrapped it in his pocket handkerchief. He next produced the confession of Suke, written on the coarse Manila wrapping paper, and signed by the two witnesses: "This confession." he said, "was taken down by me as it was spoken by the lips of the dying man. The Spanish fisherman, Jose Machado, at whose home the death occurred, and his wife, Rosa, were the witnesses.

The man has affixed his signature here, but the woman has made her mark, being unable to write." The coroner looked through the confession, then handed it to tne clerk: "Let this be written into the records of the case." He turned to the jury: "There seems no vestige of doubt, gentlemen, that an attempt to poison the deceased was made. The point In deciding the cause of death seems to be did the revolver shot enter the body ante or post mortem? Upon the establishing of this fact depends the placing of the guilt for murder upon Loren Echard or upon the young Egyptian known as Suke." "Luckily you, a physician. Dr. Cressy, were among the first to see the dead body. Giving youj testimony now was a medical man, what in your opinion, was tne cause of the death of the deceased?" "I haven't a doubt in the world that his death was caused by poisoning." "But why dldnt you state this opinion earlier?" "I admit that at first I was thrown off tha track, Ilka Dr.

Humphrey, the medical witness, by what so obviously seemed the cause of death the fresh bullet wound in the head, sufficient to cause almost Instantaneous death. But even at the first certain things I had observed caused me to be vaguely unsatisfied with the completeness of my diagnosis so much so, indeed, that in the middle of the night I went up and re-examined the body, as I told you. Later, in the fisherman's hut, when Suke confessed the polsoing, all the details I had observed suddenly synthetized in my mind. They all pointed like so many separate fingers to the one conclusion, poison. "Will you pleaae tell the Jury what these details were which, had they not been obscured by the apparent cause of death the bullet wound would have led you to a diagnosis of death by poisoning?" "Well, in the first place, position of the body.

In cases of death from a bullet, or from trauma in general, the body is usually found huddled together. In death from natural causes, or from poison, it is usually tn a natural position. The position of the deceased when found (Continued tomorrow.)

The renovating i now going on is done in a way so as to preserve the old structure for years to come. OLD FORT ROSS. Fort Ross, thirty miles to the north of Bodega Bay and sixty miles from San Francisco, was established by the Russians coming Alaska, in 1812. It was the official residence of the Russian governor.

It had blockhouses and a strong stockade, four flour mills, Jeawplts and a small shipyard. The were1 out to get valuable furs, but they also planted vegetables and grains, and later on grapes Jand other fruit. Their apple trees, now, 113 years old, have brought a crop regularly every year, this US-ear's apples being exceptionally Jpnod. These trees have escaped blight of any kind, and oJd timers In Sonoma ascribe it to the fact that a Russian priest sprinkled Holy Water on the roots when they were planted the year Napoleon was invading Russia. The California colonists also raised plenty of cat- It is related that when the Russians finally left Fort Ross, a young girl of their number refused to go, being in love with a Spanish Officer.
