Lnnen Poisoning Case.

From the Register we learn that the
preliminary examination had taken
place in the above mentioned case,
and that Mr.. Myers had been held
over for trial at Garfield, at the next
term of Court. Some additional facts
have since been made public which
almost entirely divert suspicion from
Mr.. Myers and fix it. upon a negro
named johnson, who was for q long
time in the employ of Mr.. Moore.
1t seems that the negro had twice
been guilty of stealing money from
the family Of Mr.. Moore, and when
accused of it the second time he left
Lowell and went into Pennsylvania
for fear of punishment. About the
time he left he purchased a quantity
of arsenic in Lowell, stating that he
wished to use it to poison rats, but it
is reported that he said also, that he
did not wish the Moore family to know
anything about the matter. The sack
of flour had been sitting in the house
for some time, and it is now strongly
suspected that Johnson mixed the ar
senic with the flour before he left the
State. These facts were not develop
ed in the preliminary trial, and may,
of course vary somewhat from the eX-
act truth. As Johnson Is keeping
away to avoid the penalty of his thefts
as well rs the poisoning of which he
is now charged his arrest has not vet
been made. We can rely on the
truth being reached when the trial is
heard before the Court of Common
Pleas.
