i Mrs. James Newell Kills Herself With Arsenic. Mrs. James Newell died yesterday morning at her home on North Broadway, between William and North streets, from the effects of poisoning by arsenic, bhe had bought the poison at Henry Smith's drug store, and took a big dose of it on the morning before her death. She gave as the cause her discontent at her husband's intoxication.

Her maiden name was Ella Staley, and she came from--Homer, Illinois, where her parents and brok ers and sistera reside. She had been married eleven months and was 21 years of age. For some time she and her husband had boarded at the Stevens house on North Main street, but for two months they had kept house on North Broadway. The remains were shipped to Homer on the tram last night and the funeral will oscur there at 10 o'clock this fore noon. THE COKONER'S INQUEST.

Coroner Perl summoned a lory and held an inauest yesterday afternoon. The evidence was very conclusive that she had committed suicide. The names of witnesses and their te ti- mony are given below: Dr. J. S.

King, the lirst witness, testified i follows: "I was called at 12 o'clock 110011 by Mr. Newell on Wednesday. I found hia wife in a dying condition, suffering from the ef fects of poison. On my second visit, two hours afterwards, tn the absence of her husband I told her that she was likely to die, and It was quite important she should make a true statement of the circumstances under which she took the poison. She stated that atabout 11 o'cluck on Tuesday morning she went to n.

Smith's dm; store and purchased some arsenic of a tall, light complected young man; that Bhe returned home at about o'clock and took a dose of the poison, that she felt violently sick at the stomach at about 1:3:) p. that at intervals during the afternoou she was- very sick, that she had taken Hie poison because her husband came home drunk aud that she bad told him on previous occasions that she would kill her self If he did not stop drinking. I visited her at intervals during the afternoon of Wed nesday, Nov. 3, remained with her all night uulil Thursdiy at 4 a. m.

I asked Mr King aud Mr. Smith the price of arsenic. They told me ten cents an ounce. I gave her that amount with printed label bearing the words arsenic," "poison," etc She seemed calm and collected. I don't know that the body here Is that of the woman who bought the poison.

I am a stranger here." iMrs. A. E. Fielding testified that she visited Mrs. Newell on Wednesday at her husband's request, that Mrs.

Newell said she had taken poison, that the cause was the lit treatment and abuse she had received, that she' turned to Mrs. Chas. Newell and said "Lizzie, you know as much as 1 can tdl you." Witness continued; "When I was washing the body- saw marks on both limb- they looked like cuts aud were not deep the skin was broken I found a bruise elsewhere." Mrs. Jessie Crajg testified: "I saw Elii Newell Wednesday evening. She said she had Inllammation of the stomach and bowel then said she had taken poison.

I asked her why, and she said, 'I will tell you all to 1 also found a bruise Mrs. chas. Newell testliird: 'l came over here ft ednesday evening. I asked Ella what was the She did not answ. at once but afterwards said she had taken poison and that she was driven to it.

She said she had taken half a teiispoonful of arsenic on Tues day at about 11 o'clock, and that she had thrown the rest of the poison away. She said she took it while Jim was lu view of Iiit, that she took it in a glass of water, sliewas Inclined to be blue and disrppolnted." James Newell testified: "I had no knowl edge of my wife taking poison until Wednes day morning between 9 and 10 o'clock when I came over from the depot and went into the bed room. She then said: 'Jim, go for the doctor quick; I have taken poison and it Is paining me I worked with her some time to try to ease the pain, but to no purpose. I went for Dr. King.

lie came at once and came here three times a day and was here all night the night sho died. She- showed me the poison at about 1 o'clock Tuesday. I told her not to take it and went away. On Tuesday I brought her home from ttie levee and she cooked my supper. I then weut down town and did not return until about 11 o'clock.

I got up at 5:30, and asked what kind of meat she wanted for breakfast. She often said she would take poison, and on two or three occasions previously pretended to take poison. The stuff she took always proved harmless, and so I thought nothing of her talk." K. A. Newell testified that he saw her on Tuesday at 3 o'clock and there was nothing nnusual in her appearance.

The evidence was thus conclusive of suicide and the jury returned a verdict that she came to death by "poison administered by her own hand." The jurymen were A. T. Davis, John N. Bills, H. W.

Waggoner. S. F. Gibb, K. G.

Sollars and F. A. Falconer. Mrs. Newell was a small woman with dark hair and eyes and was good looking.
