Dr. Worden and Wife Are Examined Before
Justice A. S. Young at Harrison.
BURR'S   STOMACH   CONTAINED   POTASSIUM
CYANIDE, A DEADLY POISON.
The Doctor Has a Bad Record.
k
On the afternoon of March 31st, 1903,
Silas Burr, one of the merchants of
Crooked Lake, came to his sudden
death. As previously stated in the
Sentinel, he was. about to transfer
his property there to Dr. Worden, and
was in company with the doctor on
their way to Harrison to look-over the
records, when, according to Worden's
statement, he was taken violently ill,
and died shortly after. "Do to going
to press the examination is still in
progress, but we give the evidence of
such witnesses as took the stand up to
-"this morning. It is the general opinion that both Mr. and Mra. Worden
will be held over and tried on the
charge pf murder at the June term of
circuit court.
MKS. SADIE BUIWl.
Wife of the deceased, last saw her
husband alive on tbe afternoon of
March 31st, 1903. Saw her husband
depart for Harrison with the doctor
about one o'clock. She next saw him
about eight p. m. lying on tbe counter
in their store, cold in death. Be just
ate dinner before starting. The
papers transferring the property had
been made'out aud should they find
the title all right, Burr was to receive
his pay, as the doctor told him he had
the money in the Harrison bank.
Burr took along two dollars and when
be returned the two dollars were still
on his person. Took no lunch' with
him. Took to medicine that day.
Witness asked the doctor to tell her
just how it happened. He said they
were driving. along, when suddenly
Burr,asked him to take the lines as
. he couldn't drive" any longer and asked
to be taken home. He leaned heavily
on the,doctor and suddenly expired.
With the dead man asross his lap he
drove backed .Lake. W. didn't tell
witness where death occured.   Called
Dr, Grillet of Farwell who made examination and pronounced it a case
of heart failure. The doctor did" not
say that B. took capsule. No post
mortem before body was taken to
Vassar. Post mortem was held at
Vassar at cemetery. Witness wanted
post mortem at Lake but Dr. Kelley
called her up by 'phone and advised
that it would be an unnecessary
expense. She was given to understand
that her husband died of heart failure. Papers were - made out in Mrs.
Worden's name. Tile store and stock
are now in possession of Mr. Robinson,
the property having been exchanged
for farm property. Witness did not
want her husband to go to Harrison
with the doctor because she had heard
•that he was a bad man. She became
alarmed and 'phoned to Harrison about
eight p.m.
DK. II, MORUIS.
Practicing medicine in 'Vassar.
Held post mortem examination of
Burr's body aDd found no surface
markings showing violence. Heart
was perfectly normal as to size and
other anatomical structure. The
lungs simply showed post mortem
changes—hypostatic congestion.
"Nothing about B's heart or lungs that
showed his death resulted from a diseased condition of those organs.
Liver, bladder, kidneys, brain and
spinal column were found in normal
condition. Turned these organs over
to Sheiiff In closed jars. There was
no indication that Burr came to bis
death from an injury to the spinal'
column.
DR  E. D. REED.
Chemist at University bf Michigan
homeopathic hospital, Received from
Sheriff "Updegraff, April 10th jars containing stomach, liver and both kidneys of deceased.   Externally stom
ach was normal. It contained about
six ounces of Indigestive food, no fluid.
Mucos membrame presented the usual
post mortem changes with the exception of one place in the lower part of
the fungus. This spot was round and
about three inches in diameter. Was
extremely red and looked much as if
there had been destruction of lining
membrane at this place. The reaction was alkaline. Potassium cyanide-
prussic acid was found in the stomach. Liver and kidneys were tested
without showing poison. Potassium
cyanide taken or given will cause
death. There was enough poison*!
found in the stomach to produce
death. Not easily detected if taken
in food, pill or capsule. * From two to
seven grains of this poison will cause
death in a few seconds, Few live
longer than ten minutes after taken
a poisonous dose. Traces would remain in Btomach for two weeks, Silas
Burr died from the effects of a dose of
potassium cyanide. Found potassium
cyanide in capsule sent by Sheriff'
Updegraff.
. The case is exciting great interest.
The evident purpose of ProsecntiDg
Attorney Cummins is to present only
such evidence as shall insure the holding over of Dr. and Mrs. Worden to
the June term of circuit courf, which
convenes the third week of that
month, on the charge of murder. He
is skillfully laying the foundation of
his case but evidently holding back
important testimony. But that both
he and Sheriff Updegraff are doing
their whole duty in the investigation
of'the death of Silas Burr, is plainly
manifest. John Quinn Is attorney for
the Wordens but no rigid.cross examination of witnesses is attempted.
Dr. Worden has a bad criminal
record. He was formerly a resident of
Deerficld township, Isabella county,
holding a physician's diploma from
Indiana. About seven years ago he
married %,a girl fourteen years of age
swearing that she was over eighteen
when he procured the license. In a
short time without procuring a di
vorce he married the girl's mother
For these, offences of bigamy and
perjury he was sentenced to Jackson
for ten,years, and. looking up his
record at that time Prosecutor San-
ford found that he had been convicted
;>on similar offences several times be
fore. But after serving three years at
Jackson Gov. Pingree. pardoned him.

Subsequently he returned to Isabella
county and took up liis residence at
Brinton. About three months ago he
moved to Crooked Lake and now Olare
county finds that like Isabella she
must expend a large sum in convicting
a bad criminal. Dr. Worden is about
sixty years of age and his present wife
about forty.

hearing. A Sentinel reporter
present at the examination-gives the
facts at first hand to our*readers.

' Last fall we gave-a write up of tho Brand Ranch out in Arthur township,northeast of Clare, and the above cut of
cfEttle proves our statement of the farm posibilities in that township. The photograph from which this cut was
made was taken in Clare May 16th. The nineteen- cattle represented are from 3*. E. Brand's ranch. A year ago when
first taken to tho ranch they were in* very poor condition, and with a big herd grazed all summer on "a large area of
virgin land, rich and abounding with clover but grown in in a few years by the aid of cattle, During the winter
these' cattle" have been fed on the ranch and when they were shipped to Buffalo about two weeks ago weighed about
1400 pounds each, having about doubled their weight in actual beef in the year.. They areas fine, if not the finest*
lot, of cattle eycrshipned out of Clare county.  Thetoa,n in the foreground weighed. 1,65Q pounds,,
ierto build a more lasting and sacred
monument, ''Memorial Day."
Well has one of Michigan's noble
sons said, "Better by far that this
[country have no granite schafts than
to forget this sacred day." It is a-
being,' breathing patriotism, revived
every year., It is a monument rebuilt
annually in the hearts "• of the people.
It is by far the best lesson of legalty
that can be taught to the youth who
are so soon to be the men and women
of the nation.. Let the saredness of
the day be upheld by discouraging all
the efforts on the part of selfish interests to make it a day of sports and
games. The day is sacred to the memory of our noble dead—let "tis try to
keep it so.
Again we ask all old soldiers and
their sons to go with us injthis march
tb the city of the dead and take part
with us in this noble work, for comrade it may be our last chance to
honor the one who fought by our side
in the great nation's hour of peril. A
year hence and some one may have to
take up this work in decorating our •
grave. Lay aside all labor and be one
of our number on May 30th, 1903.
