THE Wyandot Union says: After a pre-
limary examination, last week, before JUS
tice Myers, Mrs. Bowsher, charged with
administering poison TO her children, three
of whom died from the effects, was held to
bail in the sum of $4,000, and, falling to
give which, she was committed to oul
county Jail. From the evidence before the
Coroner and Justice, we believe the fact
that the children died from the effects Of
arsenical poison, is fully established. Who
administered the drug. or who is really the
guilty party, is yet to be determined by {
court and jury. Suspicion points strongly
to the mother, horrible as it may appear
but we await thorough investigation o
the case before passing an opinion.
