The townspeople believe that Emily wants the arsenic to commit suicide.

Oh, Arsenic is a type of poison.

Right. Thanks.

The townspeople believe that Emily wants the arsenic to commit suicide, and arsenic is a type of poison. You wouldn't use or buy arsenic to commit suicide would you Evan? I didn't think so.
