"A few minutes ago a bomb was set off in my apartment. I think it was a rocket, and I know it was heavily laced with hydrogen cyanide. That's Suite 5000, Timmins Building, up on 112th Street. I called you because I have a hunch it's connected with the incident at Harry's earlier this evening." "Timmins Building, eh? I'll be right up."
"Well," asked Kennedy, pausing with a test-tube poised over a Bunsen burner, "have you found anything yet? I haven't had time to get very far with my own tests yet." "Not a blessed thing," returned the coroner. "I'm desperate. One of the chemists suggested cyanide, another carbon monoxide. But there is no trace of either. Then he suggested nux vomica.
He did nothing but cover up the place with a bit of cyanide gauze." Instantly, in his own esteem, he regained perfection as a father. Of course the bite was nothing! Had he not said so from the first? Had he not been quite sure throughout that the bite was nothing? "Then why did you sit up?" he asked, and there was a faint righteous challenge in his tone. "I was anxious about you. I was afraid "
It is a mistake to add the salt afterward, when the bath is in good condition. The chloride and cyanide are said to give good results. I can only say that the use of either of these salts has not led to promising results in my hands. In preparing the double sulphate, English grain nickel is decidedly the best form of metal to use. In practice, old anodes are generally used.
But most people know that ammonia in some form is good for faintness of this sort, even if they don't know anything about cyanides and " "Then it was cyanide?" interrupted Craig. "Yes," he replied slowly. It was evident that he was suffering great physical and nervous anguish as the result of his too intimate acquaintance with the poisons in question.
Moths having digestive organs and that are feeders are susceptible to anaesthetics in a far higher degree than those that do not feed. Many scientific workers confess to having poured full strength chloroform directly on nonfeeders, mounted them as pinned specimens and later found them living; so that sensitive lepidopterists have abandoned its use for the cyanide or gasoline jar.
No one paid any attention to the lengthening shadows of the late afternoon, and the coroner's next question was awaited with breathless interest. "Is cyanide of potassium used in photography?" he inquired. "It is." "That is all, Doctor, you are excused," and the deputy coroner returned to his seat.
"I'm going to get this moth home in a hurry," he said. "This cyanide has lost its strength, and it's not working well. We need some fresh in the jar." He had forgotten the violets! Elnora stood looking after him, a curious expression on her face. One second so then she picked up the net and followed.
But now, with ore that ran over a hundred to the ton being fed into the mill, and Macartney and I doing the work of six men instead of two, I agreed with Dudley when he announced in a sober interval that we required a double shift of men and the mill to crush day and night, instead of stopping at dark, besides a cyanide plant and a man to run it. But Macartney unexpectedly jibbed at the idea.
There was cyanide in the bottle!" "There sure was," agreed Jack, who had seen the same test made in one of the classes a few days before. "But I don't see what good that is," remarked Bert. "Everyone knew that cyanide was used on the horses. It's a common enough poison. Naturally whoever used it would have it in a bottle.
