Read More	A SAD TRAGEDY Last Friday the people of this place were startled on learning that Frank Peck of Eagleville was dead, from poison, it is claimed, and that his wife had attempted to take her own life by cutting her throat with a razor. Coroner Kerr held an inquest over the remains of the dead man, and the jury returned a verdict that death had been caused by the administration of poison by parties unknown. The remains of Mr. Peck were interred in the Eagleville cemetery last Sunday afternoon, large number of his old time friends attending the las sad rites. Frank Peck was a man of steady habits and highly respected by all who knew him and his sudden and tragic death is deeply regretted. Mrs. Peck's would is not considered critical and she was brought to the Sanitarium here Sunday, and if nothing unforeseen occurs, she will soon recover. There are many rumora afloat regarding the tragedy, but the following facts were brought out at the Coroner;s inquest; It seems that Mr. and Mrs. Peck had finished supper and Mrs. Peck left the house, presumably to go to a neighbor's to see about getting him to help dig a well. In the meantime, Mr. Peck was attacked with violent convulsions, similar to those caused by strychnine, shortly after which Ernie and Neva Cook came to the house and at once gave the alarm. Among the first to get there was Richard Cook, who called Dr. Kennedy and others, and Mr. Peck requested them to call his wife and when she came in Mr. Peck is reported to have said to her that "she knew who poisoned him," which she denied, and rushed into another room and got hold of a gun which was taken from her, then she picked up a razor and went out of the house and tried to destroy herself by cutting her throat. Sheriff Poore and District Attorney, Laird came over and searched for evidence of any kind, but we understand that no poison of any kind was found. The stomach of the dead man was sent below for analysys and the result of that will, no doubt, determine as to what caused his death. Murder is a grave charge, and in the absence of any definite proof it would be well to withhold judgment, for it might be that grave injustice would be dine. It is a well-known fact that at time furing the past 15 years, Mr. Peck had been subjected to paroxysms that threatened his life and often lasted for an hour or more each time. It is one of those sad ad regrettable tragedies that at some time or other occur in every community, and the same charity should be extended to the accused as would be asked by the accuser under similar circumstances. The analysis of the stomach will tell the tale. Surprise Valley Recod, Cedarville, CA November 5, 1919
