Nobody dies from eating cherries and drinking milk. All the signs point to a classic arsenic poisoning but no one will admit to that even today. Who'd want to be in the middle of that controversy?
I was just about to toss my Clara Rissing book that triggered the exhumation. If anyone is interested let me know. I'm moving to Ga and my library has to be thinned down
