and secondly, it causes the police right away to say "Look at this jerk.
this guy is inhaling axthux ether" and then they haul him off.
T: q
So they don't go for more toxic substances.
G:
Yeah. I feel like it's too nuch for one evening a for a man to go for the
ether and the arsenic (laughter).
Box:
They can control the degree of a guy's unconeciousness. Now if he's totally
unconscious, they can't get the arsenic down him but they can knock him out
enough that he will swallow automatically.
F:
Why didn't they remove the ether?
Box:
Because they wanted it to appear that he was on ether. He had a number of
puncture marks
T;
No stomach pump or anything.
S:
Also, it obscures the smell of the arsenic. That's a strong smell, isn't it.
Box:
Yeah. It wpr would do that too.
He had, however, a eut inside his throat- some contusions and I personally
think they just shoved a tin funnel down his throat and poured the arsenic
in when they got him at the point of control by the ether that they wanted, see.
The funnel or something of that nature would have created the cuts in his
throat. Now there is no container in theroom that had arsenic in it. There
is no container in the bed or anywhere in the room that he could have drunk
from. Just a home-made mask over an old chocolate nutriment can with ether
fumes in it.
F:
Do people breathe ether as a pleasure?
Box:
NO. I was wondereng if he could have been taking it to come off a
.
He had a number of punctures in the veins as if he were addicted and probably
he was, and I've been asking them to ask around to see if an addict will try
coming off of it -- kicking it - with ether, like a drunk will try coming off
from boos with feralderhyde but I don't know yet.
F:
Well, is it really terribly relevent one way or the other?
G:
It doesn't matter as long as they put the canthere.
F,q
Any arsenic found in the house?
Box:
None whatsoever.
G:
That's an interesting thing. Nonewhatsover. Nothing that had arsenic in
but he's full of it inside. And furthermore, the question is how was he able
to make thecall. By the time, they get there, the guy is unconecious and
moaning.
