MARY ANN WYATT GREEN

   Supposed Murder of a wife by her husband. We learn that Coroner Betts, of 
this city, was summoned yesterday to hold an inquest in Berlin on the body of 
Mrs. Green, of that Place, supposed to have been poisoned by her husband, Henry 
G. Green - The circumstances as related to us are as follows: The parties had 
been married about a week. Mrs. Green was unwell, and told the woman who 
attended her that she feared her husband had poisoned her, as she had seen him 
putting a white powder into her tea.  On being questioned by her what it was, 
he replied that it was flour. 

   She drank the tea and died soon after Green was seen previous to the death 
of his wife taking down a bottle of arsenic from the drugs in a store in 
Berlin. Mrs. Green was from Thornton, N.H.  Her maiden name was Mary Ann Wyatt. 

(Berlin is in Southampton County, Va.)
