Mr. Hubert. You are talking about Perrin now?

Mrs. Rich. Yes. And had a vivid imagination, as most writers do. Whether or not these were authentic documents, I don’t know.

Mr. Hubert. Did he die a natural death?

Mrs. Rich. Suicide. The coroner’s report was arsenic. I also would like to state for the record at this time after my husband’s death the Veterans’ Administration Hospital, I believe it is the one in Denver, that finally came up with the report, came up with the report that my husband was discharged from the service for hysteria, and had a history of mental disturbance.

Mr. Hubert. Were you living with him at the time he died?

Mrs. Rich. I was.

Mr. Hubert. You state to us now that the coroner’s report in New Orleans, I suppose——

Mrs. Rich. That is correct.

Mr. Hubert. Showed that his death was caused by arsenic voluntarily consumed, right?

Mrs. Rich. That is correct.
