CROYDON POISONING
FURTHER INQUEST SOUGHT ON EDMUND DUFF HIS WIDOW PROTESTS (Australian ana N.Z. Press Association) LONDON. Tuesday. The Attorney-General. Sir William Jowitt, has applied to the Lord Chief Justice for an order for a further mquest on the body of Mr. Edmund Duff, one of the alleged victims of the Croydon poisoning case. Sir William said the body was in a remarkable state of preservation, which was not without significance. An examination of some of the organs was said to have shown substantial traces or arsenic. Mrs. Grace Duff has written to the newspapers protesting against a report that the police propose again to exhume her husband’s body. She says she knows it is a dreadful and difficult case and she does not want to make more difficulties, hut even savages respect their dead. The police deny that they contemplate another exhumation, but a second t quest is expected to be opened in a fortnight.
