Coroner Z. A. Beach of Ozark county, who removed the stomach and ordered a chemical analysis of the contents
Jury Fails to Agree
After." the child" had died, the neighbors reported the attitude of Jarrett and his wife to authorities, who immediately began an Investi- gation of the affair. A coroner's Jury, however. failed to return a de- cisive verdict and ordered the an- alysis of the child's stomach.
Jarrett is formerly of Joplin, Mo., and now resides on a farm near Gainesville.
Tried to Buy Polson
Authorities said they learned that two or three weeks before the death of the child, her stepfather sought to obtain some drugs from Gainesville physician, stating that the child was suffering from can- cer of the stomach. The physician, officers were told, refused Jarrett the drugs.
Further disclosures in the investi- gation, officers sald, was that Jar- rett later did obtain some medicine containing poison on the represen- talon that he wanted it for himself.
Coroner Beach .. who performed an autopay, said he found no trace of cancer in the child's stomach
