HIDDEN DEATH of MRS
C//ESSER.
CAUSE OF HER DEATH.
Coroner’s Inquest,
Ou lust Ei id ay Mrs. Chesser,
wife of B. F. Chesser, came to
town io procure some medicine
for neuralgia, wi/h which she Lad
been suffering for some time.—
She applied to one of our leading
physicians, who prescribed, with
o>her remedies, quinine Six
do»es were pit up and delive.ed
to her, wi h directions to take one
dose at ti o’clock in tl« morning
and another at 9
She returned home, and having
suffered all night, took the first
dose as directed. whe u she fell in
to a stupoi, from which she was
aroused with some difficulty at
nine to take another Alter tak
ing the s.cond dose, sh« relapsed
into a semi unconsciousness fio,u
which she eou/d not be aroused.—
Dr. May hold was p issing and t,e
was called in, and from her ap
pearance concluded that she might
be under the influence of au opi
ate. Later in ihe evening Dr.
A. M. V\ inn was sent for and nr
rived about niplu. She was then
in a ccinitose si ate and ded in
fifteen oi twenty minutes after his
arrival.
The circums'ance3 udder which
she died led the family to believe
that her dta'Li was caused by mor
pbiue, or some other opiate, and
it was charged that by some mis
take the physician had given mor
phin‘< instead of quinine. In fact
it was publicly charged in Law
renceville by one of her sons, that
i-he had beeu killed by a dose of
morphine administers! for qui
nine The ie public charges, of so
grave a character, demanded an in
vestig”lion, and a coroner's juiy
was summoned on Monday and
the cause of her death fully inve 8
•gated. The family refused to
-ive up the remaining doses for
a chemical test, uiinl ihe coroner
proposed, unless this was doue, to
have a post mortem examination.
In order to have a full investiga
tion the following physicians were
sumtnoi.e 1.
Drs. .Mitchell, Winn, Freeman,
Mayfield, lYv.n and Linns. They
were examined before the Jniy
a id testified, afttr making an ex
amination and test of the medi
cine still ou Lane. And were uni u
imouely of /he opinion that she
came to her death from natural
on n-es. either appoplexy or corg's
tun of the brain. In references
the medicine, they sta‘ed, /hut
they had applied the best test
Known to toe medical science and
were satisfied /hat it was quinije,
wi/h no mixture of morphine.
After the evidence closed the
Jury returned the fol.owing ver
