If" Your. Sept. 7.—-In the poisoning
of Mrs. Evelina Bliss, of which crime her
decanter. In! Alice Livingston. other»
wise knownas Hrs. Fleming. “accused.
fire police believe they have a genuine
s to deal with.
T a combination of poisons which
Chemist Boheele’s report shows were
found in the stomach and intestines of
the dead woman have strengthened the
theory of the police that the poisoning
was the outcome of a carefully planned
conspiracy, and that the accused, Mrs.
Fleming, had at least one, if not more
than one, accomplice. All day yestcrday
the police worked on this theory.
They have the man under close surveib
lance. and his arrest is liable to be ordered
at any moment.
The police are also cudeavoring to trace
the whereabouts of Archibald Cornelius,
the coachman who has at different times
played such an important part in the rec
markablo and sensational history of the
alleged matricide. Cornelius has mysteri-
ously disappeared, and up to this morn-
ing no trace ‘of his whereabouts has been
discovered. Cornelius has been living with
his brother-in- law, D. R. Jeffrey, at Elli
West One Hundred and Thirty- -sccond
street. Mr. and Mrs. Jeffrey, who have
been away. from the city enjoying a short
vacation, returned to their home Wednes-
day. Since their return they say they have
seen nothing of Cornelius, and they have
no knowledge as to where he is.
Acting Inspector McCullough, who has
charge of the case, iganxlous to put a se-
rlcs of questions to omelius. He hopes
that he can clear up the doubt as to wheth-
or Mrs. Fleming obtained possession of
certain powders or tartar emetic, which
were put up by llruggist Otto Hoccker of
One Hundred and Thirty-third street and
Eighth avenue on Aug. 25 last, five days
before the eating of the clam chowder
which It is alleged contained poison which
killed Mrs. Bliss. These powders were
put up on the prescription of Dr. Illscar,
veterinary surgeon, of 232% Seventh ave-
nue for Exprossman Disbrow of 2473
Eighth avenue. to be given to two of his
horses which were ill.
Ware Horse Powders Used?
Sixteen powders were compounded by
the druggist, and Disbrow received the 16
powders in two kagcs and says he gave
them to his sin human with Instructions
to give them to the sick horses.
Whether all these powders ever reached
the ailing animals or some of them were
diverted and came Into the possession of
Mrs. Fleming in some mysterious way is
what the police are trying to find out.
Those 16 powders contained 480 grains
of tartar emetic and 480 grains of and
phatc of iron. Each powder contained a
sufficient quantity of tartar emetic to kill.
a human being. Chemist Schoolc's report
of his analysis, now in the hands of Como
ner O'Moaghor shows that his examina-
tion of the intestines of the dead woman
resulted in the finding of arsenic of sulfi—
cicnt quantity it) cause death, tartar cmo~
tic or antimony, the poison which is its
basic principle, and sulphate of iron. The
tartar emetic and sulphate of iron were
present in equal quantities.
The police declare that when they
searched the rooms of Mrs. Fleming they
found six powders In In package bearing
the label of Ilruggist Hoockcr. Those
powders they have turned over to Chemist
Schoelo to find out what they contain.
The police believe they are the identical
powders which Druggist Hoookcr mired.
They are now hard at work unraveling
the mystery as to how, If their theory be
true, those powders mmo into the posses-
sion of Mrs. Fleming after they were giv-
cn by Expressmnn lilsbrow to his stallio-
man.
Chemist Srhcoio‘s report shows that a
large quantity of ‘orsonio was mixed with
the tartar cmclic and sulphate of iron. If
one or more of the powders put up by
Drugglst Hoocker were used in tho prepn
ration of the fatal dose which killed Mrs.
Bliss on the night of Aug. 30, the poison-
er, in addition to antimony, obtained
large quantities of arsenic from somewhere
and mixed it with the horse powder. it is
the opinion of Chemist Schoolo and Dr.
Bullman, who attended the victim of the
poison during her last illness, that arsenic
was the drug that directly caused her
death.
Mrs. Bliss lissd Arsenic.
It was learned yesterday that Mrs. Bliss
was accustomed to using arsenic. This
fact has only added complications to the
work of tracing \tho mlson which killed
her, and It will doubtless he used as one
of the strongest arguments of the defense
on the trial of Mrs. Flaming that tho
arsenic found in the dead woman's body
was due to her use of the drug as a com-
plexion bcnutlllcr, and was not sent to her
by any one who desired to take her life
The prosecution will coniroVnrt this by
showing through lir. Scheoio that the
remnants of the chowder and pie which
were sent to Mrs. Bliss We“) found to con.
tain the ammo strange mixture of poison—-
arsenic, tartar emetic and sulphate of iron.
Inspector McCullough, Assistant Dis.
trict Attorney McIntyre and Coroner
0' Meaghcr were in conference over the
cone for several hours at the crtroncr' s of
use. Inspector McCullough said after the
conference: "The more I look Into this
case the more complicated It incomes.
I think that for a deep laid, skillfully
planned and carefully executed plot It
equals, if it does not surpass, every case
in the history of crime In New York.”
"Do you contemplate further arrests in
the case today?" the inspector was asked.
"I cannot tell when other arrests will
be outdo. " he answered
The police believe and are working on
the theory that Mrsl Fleming had at least
one scannpilcs, and that they have a sea
pasted person under close surveillance is
correct. This suspected person they will
arrsst as soon as they have put thmnseim
in the possessionof certain evidence which
they are now seeking.
Lawyers Show and limits both declared
yesterday that the statement made by the
police that they had found a package of
powders In the rooms of lira. Flemina
was false. Lawyer Shaw openly asserted
that it was his belief that the police were
at work manufacturing evidence against
the woman Mimprhossdw In the tenets.

Friday Wore introduced by the prosecution
to complete the evidence that Blanche La-
ment was murdered.
Policeman Bieht, who accompanied De-
tective Gibson to Emanuel church on the
day Blanche Lamont’s body was discover-
ed, testified to the condition of the corpse
and to the presence of blood on the floor
near the girl's head on the beliry stairs
and on the floor, where it had dripped
from the stops. He stated there was no
evidence of a struggle there. the inference
being developed by the defense that the
murder was committed down stairs, but
the body was carried to the tower.
The defense will try to show that one
man could not have borne this burden on-
aided. The prosecution will try to prove
that Blanche weighed only ill) pounds,
and that Durant could have carried her
with little difficulty.
0. G. Noble, uncle of Blanche, was re-
called by the district attorney to again es-

morgue.
J E. Hullett a m” , deputy, told
how he and another deputy had taken the
body from the church to the morgue.
Policeman T. J. Coleman swore that on

church for evidence of the murder, he
found two door-knobs which had been
broken off the bclfry door and afterward
concealed.
