#1 On January 14, 1905, Jane Stanford, the wealthiest woman in San Francisco, was murdered in her bedroom. She was 76 years old and the cofounder of Leland Stanford Junior University. She was never alone, as she was always surrounded by servants.

#2 The story of how strychnine was put in Jane Stanford’s Poland Spring Water is full of contradictions and explanations. The accounts of Mrs. Stanford, Elizabeth Richmond, and Bertha Berner all agree on the bitter taste in the water, Mrs. Stanford’s vomiting, and the decision to send the bottle out to a chemist to be analyzed.

#3 The San Francisco Bulletin’s account of the poisoning differed from Richmond’s in several significant ways. The bottle was in the same condition as when it came from the case, and Richmond must have put the idea in Jane Stanford’s mind that the bottle was only partially full.

#4 The trip to the train station the next day brought another surprise. Jane Stanford and Bertha Berner encountered David Starr Jordan, the president of Leland Stanford Junior University, and told him of the incident.
