Poisoned By Medical Student

Poisoned by medical student

Elmer Shreves who worked at Delhi Mills.

The medical student attended a Detroit college - drug store found which sold the poison.

The mystery surrounding the death of Elmer U. Shreves, the Delhi Mills man who died of poisoning a few weeks ago at Nick Miller's saloon in Detroit, may be near a solution. That the man was foully dealt with, there is no longer any doubt. Detectives Brooks and Monahan of the Detroit police force have learned that poison was procured in a drug store near the saloon, and that Shreves was not the first man who had been doped at that joint. Physicians in the Minder building have been called frequently to attend to some of Nick's customers, who suffered from the effects of poisoning. Suspicion points to a Detroit medical student, who is known to have purchased the drugs and to have made the Cadillac square saloon his headquarters. It is significant that since Shreve's death this student has disappeared. If this suspicion is well founded, the murder was rather the deed of a maniac, who, perhaps desired to study the effects of poison by actual experiments.

The detectives know this student's name and identity, and are looking toward his arrest.
