Den 22. september postede jeg vedrørende en noget speget sag i Californien i 1918.

Engelsk er omtrent mit andet modersmål, men jeg har svært ved at tyde alle Dr. C.V. Thompson´s kragetæer i brevet hvori han rapporterer om resultatet af obduktionen han foretog.


Efter den dødes navn (Sam Hucke) tyder jeg:


The only marked abnormal condition

was a dilated heart.  The stomach

contained about a   _____    ___  smelly

fluid. The stomach was ______   _____ 

and  _____   with the contents to

a chemist for ______  _____. 






Fra min tråd den 22. september:
Fandt et interessant dokument vedrørende Søren Christoffer Hücke eller Samuel Hucke som han kaldte sig i Californien.

Han døde 14. oktober 1918 i Half Moon Bay  (ikke langt fra San Franscisco) under ret usædvanlige omstændigheder hvilket hans 2. hustru Maria Augusta aka Mary (også dansk invandrer) vidnede om.

Jeg indtastede herefter følgende på hans profil på FS:

Coroner's Inquest held at Half Moon Bay on Oct. 30, 1918.

Official cause of death:
"Chloral administered by parties unknown."

[Apparently, two unnamed men poisoned him with chloral hydrate.]

[Ole Westermann]

The only marked abnormal condition
was a dilated heart.  The stomach
contained about a pint of a milky
fluid. The stomach was taken out
and sent with its contents to
a chemist for analysis.

Var der mere, der skulle ses på?

mvh Ole
