MO POISON IN STOMACH Analysis Reveals No Damaging Evi dence, but Woman Declares Al leged Accomplice Swore False ly . at Coroner's Inquest. CASTLE ROCK, Wash., July 15. (Spe cial.) So baffled are the officials of Cow litz County over the mystery surround ing the sudden death of Godfrey Kunart last Friday that an order was issued late this afternoon releasing from custody the widow and Reinhold Greenwald, who was held as her alleged accomplice and para mour. This afternoon the woman made open accusations against Greenwald, but in the face of these accusations the order of release was issued. However, both the man and woman will remain under close espionage of the officers, although they have been released from custody. Body Taken From Grave. It Is an old. old story that has been re vived in Cowlitz County as a result of the mysterious death of the logger, and a woman is at the bottom of It. There was a home a liappy one it is said, and an Intruder. Then there was a sudden and mysterious death, the woman and alleged Intruder surviving. And the tongues of the multitude got busy so busy that a Coroner's inquest was held, the remains of the dead man were exhumed, and after robbing trie grave, the slow and tedious process of the law was set to work to appease the public wrath. But today the proceedings came to a sudden and unexpected termination, and although a shadow of suspicion still rests upon the woman and her alleged paramour, the wheels of the law have been stopped in their investigation. Declines to Summon Doctor. Kunart was a logger and lived here with his wife and three children. At his home for the past three years lived Rein hold Greenwald, a dose friend of him self and of his wife. For months and, indeed, since their arrival in this locality neighbors have gossiped about the in timacy of the friend and Mrs. Kunart. last Tuesday both men went fishing in the Cowlitz River. They returned sud denly and unexpectedly In the middle of the afternoon, and Kunart was desperate ly 111. His wife made lemonade, in the presence and with the aid, it is said, of Greenwald. The sick man drank of the lemonade and his illness increased to such an alarming extent that he begged his wife to summon a physician. She. In turn, asked Greenwald to call for aid. Greenwald refused, insisting that the services of a physician were unnecessary. Finally the sick man himself persuaded Greenwald to summon a physician and Dr. T. C. Campbell was called. Kunart lived until Friday. On the day he became ill the physician prescribed for him, but after the professional man had departed Greenwald went up town and procured a bottle of what he called wormwood bitters. Kunart drank of It and his wife also attempted to partake of the fluid. Warned Not to Drink. 'Don't drink that, leave It alone. It has been fixed purposely for Godfrey," Green wald said to the woman, according to her story yesterday. And rushing to wards her, he dashed the vial from her hand, according to her story. Then the bottle of alleged wormwood bitters disap peared, and officers have been unable to find a trace of it. Kunart died on Friday, and It was Hunday that the suspicions of residents of this place became insistent. The remains had been hurriedly burled on Saturday and the public tongue waxed busy with surmises, and Indeed with many facts. Dr. Cmpbell and others notified Coroner Bird, of Kelso, and also Dis trict Attorney B. L. Hubbell. of Kelso. Those officials Immediately came to Castle Rock and the body was exhumed. On Monday the coroner called a jury and an inquest was held. The stomach of the dead man was removed-and sent to Dr. Ralph Matson. of Portland, for analysis. He analyzed it and failed to find a trace of poison. t In Custody Since Snndny. On Sunday afternoon Greenwald was arrested and placed in the town jail, awaiting the verdict of the jury and pending further developments in the case. In order to care for her three children the widow was permitted to remain at her home, though she also was under arrest, and an officer re mained constantly on duty at the home. Many conflicting stories were told by the man and woman at the coroner's Inquest. And since the inquest she has remembered many alleged incrim inating incidents which, she says, she forgot to mention at the inquest. She openly declares that Greenwald lied, when under oath at the inques, and Greenwald, on the other hand, says that the woman errs In her statements. orticlal Left in Dark. "What can I dor said Distrist At torney Hubbell yesterday, after order ing the release of the two suspects. "The specialist in Portland declared after analysis that there was no trace of poison in the dead man's stomach. The woman will not swear that the man is guilty and the man-will not swear that the woman is guilty. We have no evidence, and for that reason I have ordered both the woman and the man released from custody." And when the man was released the widow begged the officers to keep him from her home. He has lived there constantly for three years or more, but there has come a revulsion on the wid ow's part and she will not see him.
