Welsh, traveler of Oklahoma, who died
Sunday afternoon in a local wagon
yard, was the announcement at noon
today of Justice Frank Tannehill, who
ordered an autopsy of the ztomach
after finding two small cans that had
contained a wood alcohol nolution
lying near the body.
The contents of the deceased mans
stomach were turned over to the state
chemist for analysis to determine
whether the man's death was caused
by poisoning. Evidence taken at the
inquest included testimony by the
man's little daughter that she had seen
Welsh drink some of the wood alcohol
solution mixed with sugar water.
The state chemist informed Justice
Tannehill that he expected to be out
of his office Monday and would neces-
sarily delay the opinion one day.
