From that time Phebe WIS left mainly to nurse
and care for the sick and dying Miss Pelser.-
She fingered and died under circumstances to
induce strange suspicious. but no one suspected

her death Mr.. Colwell received an affectionate
letter, while he was At the West bringing cattle,
purp0rting to come from Miss Pelscr. Snt at j
time when it il known she could not write re-
Questing him, among 0tils things, 10 remember

AFTER the death OF slrs. Fuller, Phebe re.
NAMED temporarily at Dir. Charles s. Tuthils,
where both the brothers were brought per force
into the family. Some zen or twelve days ago
both the Tuthills and tue wife of Mr.. Charles
>, also Mrs. Derrck--an Irish woman-with
whose husband Phebe had had some difficulty
about porterage, were taken sick, with symp-
toms nearly akin 10 these Of Miss Pelser, little
Martha and Mrs. Fuller. They have all been
treated on the hypothesis OF poison. The bro |
theirs Tuthill are about their business. Mrs. |
Charles :. Tuthill Is dcin;s well, and Mrs. Der
rick is still dangerously 1.
Suspicious began 70 t.icken about Phebe.-t
Last Monday she was taken violently i'll with |
NE same symptoms. On Friday morning she
lied. In her last agonies she said, "She had |
a little arsenic on John B. Tuthill's
Ioast; that she knew there was poison on the
window sill near where his soup sat, and it
night have fallen IN: that she put little arsenic
IN Mrs Fullcr's corn and beans, and further
aid not. The grave has closed over Phebe and
Ter victims. 10 more 81 the facts will proba-
'ly ever be known. Her motives must be left
Q conjecture, and imag nation must fill up this
ale OF horrors.
