Murderer Is Probably in San Fran Cisco. Honolulu, March 8. The police here are of the opinion that If Mrs. Stanford was murdered, the guilty person Is In San Francisco. High Sheriff Henry expresses this view. It is pointed out that the opinions of the physicians, taken with the result of the chemical analysis, as given In evidence at the inquest, indicate that to bring about a fatal result Mrs. Stanford would have to have been given one of the capsules, which it has been admitted contained a small quan tity of strychnine, and a dose of the bicarbonate of soda at the same time. ana that both would be required to bring together enough strychnine to be fatal According to the estimates of the chemists, the strychnine in the dose ot barco Donate of soda and the capsule combined was only one-twelfth of a grain, unless the strychnine was all at the top of the bottle and was taken when Miss Berner poured out the dose of soda. Mrs. Stanford's failure to com ment on the bitter taste of the meJi cine, however, is held as disproving this theory. - , One Killed and a Number Injured at Salt Lake. Salt Lake. March 8.
