18 July Cranstoun writes to Mary suggesting she should put the powder in gruel. 4 August Gunnell makes gruel in pan by Mary's orders. 5 August Mary seen stirring gruel in pantry. Mr. Blandy taken seriously ill in the night. 6 August Mr. Norton, the apothecary, called in. Gruel warmed for Mr. Blandy's supper. 7 August Emmet eats what was left the night before, and is taken ill.
Blandy runs the place." "That Blandy I've got no use for him. His faro game's crooked, or I'm locoed bronc. Not that we don't have lots of crooked faro dealers. A fellow can stand for them. But Blandy's mean, back handed, never looks you in the eyes. That Hope So place ought to be run by a good fellow like you, Hoden." "Thanks, Russ," replied he, and I imagined his voice a little husky.
They corresponded so nicely in each trial that I declare I never saw any two things in Nature more alike the decoction made with the powder found in Mr. Blandy's gruel and that made with white arsenic. From these experiments, and others which I am ready to produce if desired, I believe that powder to be white arsenic. Did any person make these experiments with you? No, but Mr.
Till October 1750, above a year after my mother's death, no noise at all was heard, excepting that at Mr. Blandy's chamber-door above mentioned. But one morning in the beginning of that month, Mr. Cranstoun being in the parlour, I asked him, "What made him look so pale, and to seem so uneasy?"
Did you, on the Sunday, in the afternoon, mention it to Mr. or Miss Blandy? No, not to either of them. SUSANNAH GUNNELL, examined I carried the water gruel in a pan to Mrs. Mounteney's house. Whose use was it made for? It was made for Mr. Blandy's use, on the Sunday seven-night before his death. Who made it? I made it. Where did you put it after you had made it?
That Mary knew of both these mysterious attacks is proved; she was much concerned at the illness of the charwoman, who was a favourite of hers, and she sent white wine, whey, and broth for the invalid's use. It is singular that such experiences failed to shake Miss Blandy's faith in the harmless nature of Mrs.
But amen, as appears, stuck in Mr. Blandy's throat: he declined Mrs. Pocock's invitation to join them, and shortly thereafter returned to Henley. During this visit to town Mary Blandy states that Cranstoun proposed a secret marriage "according to the usage of the Church of England" apparently with the view of testing the relative strength of the nuptial knot as tied by their respective Churches.
But let us now proceed to Miss Blandy's own relation of an affair which has so much engrossed the attention of the public. Miss Blandy's narrative referred to in the foregoing letter: O! Christian Reader! My misfortunes have been, and are such, as never woman felt before. O! let the tears of the wretched move human minds to pity, and give ear to my sad case, here wrote with greatest truth.
Apropos to Mary Blandy's death, "Elia" has a quaint anecdote of Samuel Salt, one of the "Old Benchers of the Inner Temple." Salt was warned beforehand by his valet to avoid all allusion to the subject, and promised to be specially careful.
ANN JAMES, examined I live at Henley, and had use to wash for Mr. Blandy. I remember the time Mr. Blandy grew ill. Before he was ill there was a difference between Elizabeth Binfield and Miss Blandy, and Binfield was to go away. How long before Mr. Blandy's death? It might be pretty near a quarter of a year before.
