There was no grounds for this statement, as Dr Chinston told Kitty and Madame Midas to say nothing about the poison, and it was generally understood that the deceased had died from apoplexy.
According to the evidence of Dr Chinston, the deceased had died from serous apoplexy, and from all the post-mortem appearances this was the case. But they must remember that it was almost impossible to detect certain vegetable poisons, such as aconite and atropia, without minute chemical analysis.
'I was going quietly to bed, resumed Kitty, hurriedly, 'in order not to waken Madame, when I saw the portrait of M. Vandeloup on the table; I took it up to look at it. 'How could you see without a light? asked Dr Chinston, sharply, looking at her.
We must tell him, or he'll get everything out of Moreland, and the consequences will be that all Melbourne will know the story; whereas, by showing him the confession, we get him to leave Moreland alone, and thus secure silence in both cases." "I suppose we must see Chinston?" "Yes, of course.
The name of the chemist being on the label, I went to him and found out who bought it. Now, who do you think?" with a look of triumph. "Frettlby," said Calton, decidedly. "No, Moreland," burst out Chinston, greatly excited. "Neither," retorted the detective, calmly. "The man who purchased this was Oliver Whyte himself."
Dr Chinston went to the window and looked out; there were no marks of feet on the flower bed, where it was so soft that anyone standing on it would have left a footmark behind. 'Strange, said the doctor, 'it's a peculiar story, looking at Kitty keenly. 'But a true one, she replied boldly, the colour coming back to her face; 'I say she was poisoned.
"Where are your facts?" asked Chinston, smiling. "My facts are all visible ones," said Felix, gravely pointing to the company. "They're all crooked on some point or another." There was a chorus of indignant denial at this, and then every one burst out laughing at the extraordinary way in which Mr. Rolleston was arguing.
Frettlby took the doctor's arm, and walked away with him. "I want you to come up to my study, doctor," he said, as they strolled towards the house, "and examine me." "Why, don't you feel well?" said Chinston, as they entered the house. "Not lately," replied Frettlby. "I'm afraid I've got heart disease." The doctor looked sharply at him, and then shook his head.
Kitty, pale and wan, is seated in the chair; the window curtains are drawn, and the cold light of day pours into the room, while Madame Midas is kneeling beside the corpse, with all the servants around her. Dr Chinston lifts the arm; it falls limply down. The face is ghastly white, the eyes staring; there is a streak of foam on the tightly clenched mouth.
Kilda police station and told the police. At the conclusion of Royston's evidence, during which Gorby had been continually taking notes, Robert Chinston was called. He deposed: I am a duly qualified medical practitioner, residing in Collins Street East. I made a POST-MORTEM examination of the body of the deceased on Friday. Q. That was within a few hours of his death?
