DOCTOR POISONED.

PRETTY YOUNG NURSE CHARGED. A mysterious tragedy, involving the death of a young physician, Dr Stanley Trqn, and the arrest of Miss Emma Krill, a trained nurse, a very beautiful young woman, who posed as the doctor's wife, is attracting much attention in New York. Krill was charged with murder, and evidence was given that morphia was found in the doctor's stomach. The scene in the ccnirt room when the nurse was arraigned was dramatic. After suffering the ordeal for half an hour, the young woman fainted and fell prostrate directly in front of the judge's bench. Evidence was given that Dr Tron was physically strong and cheerful on the day of his death, and apparently had no intention of committing suicide. Krill stated that Tron brought her from her-home to Utica, many miles from Ntow York, in the same State, under a promise of marriage. "After arriving in Utica he said he would get a license in a few days, and we would be married. He kept putting it off until three months passed, and one day I asked him, 'Do you intend to marry me?' He said, 'You go home for a while, and I will think it over.' I went home for six weeks, when lie wrote for me to came back. He g;ive me a wedding ring, but we have never been married." The day before he died, defendant declared the doctor seemed very depressed. He mentioned that people seemed to know too much now-a-days to take medicine. The only job left was to persuade people to have the appendix removed. On the day of his death he asked Jier to get some atrophine and morphine, which she gave Him in the doses prescribed, and they were not poisonous doses. He also took some amyl nitrate. Then she left the room, and the lroli} on the inner side of the door closed accidentally, so that she wa.s unable to re-enter for fifteen minutes. Then the doctor was dead. Later in her testimony, adds 'the Telegraph's uorrespondent, she swore that while living with Tron as his wife he threatened to shrw>t her and shoot himself.
