The last Union says: We learn that an exciting case has recently occurred in Bainbridge [Chenango Co. NY] of which the facts are substantially as follows: The wife of a Mr. Andrews, who last spring moved into that town from Delaware Co. [NY] recently died and Andrews very shortly after sold off his things and left. There were some circumstances which in the opinion of the people required an examination and last week a Coroner's Jury was summoned by Coroner Curtis and the body exhumed and a postmortem examination had by which it appeared that Mrs. Andrews must have died in consequence of ergot having been administered to her, as alleged by her husband to produce abortion. This we believe was the substance of the verdict. An effort will undoubtedly be made to procure the arrest of Andrews.
