that poison was the cause, and on further IT,
vestjeation, bottle containing wine was
discovered in the room, and Mi. Peits then
admitted that he had given her wine. By
an examination Of The contents Of the bottle,
some foreign substance WAS found to be
mixed with the wine, and traces OF the same
vine were discovered upon the clothing Of
the child. 1t was also further learned that
on the afternoon or evening before, Petts had
made purchase Of arsenic at the drug store
Of Il. A. Tillipghast & Co., Of this place, and
said he "wanted 1t to kill rats with" He

Yet he was permitted to. run at large for
some time and made no attempt to escape,
and manifested no disposition to get ont of
the way: BE was, during the night, arrested
and held In custody.
On Thursday night, about midnight, Mrs.
