TEE UPPER SANDUskY HoRRok-The Han
cock f0. j )JeferSoniah furnishes the follow
ing particulars relating to the late case OF
poisoning at Upper Ssndusky: The woman,
Mrs. .BOwsher, until the death Of her hus-
band, a few years since, bore good charac-
ter and moved in good society. Since that
event she became dissolute and depraved
and in due time became the mother Of three
illegitimate children. Some two years since
man to whom she became very much at
tached, proposed to take her in charge with
the three younger children, if by some
means she could relieve herself of her five
legitimate children. She immediately set
to work to effect the object by means of poi
son. About eighteen months since, the eld
est daughter, beautiful and virtuous girl
of eighteen, died under circumstances that
filed the, mind of the attending physical n
with suspicion, but not sufficient to warrant
him in taking decisive step. Subsequent
ly, another daughter fell victim, and about
three weeks ago a son, a young man, also
died. Investigations Of private nature
were set on foot, which resulted in her arrest
and preliminary examination before JUS
tice. who committed her for trial on the
charge of murder. The two other children
were seized with illness bearing the same
| symptoms as the cases which had proved IA
| tai, but were attended TO in time TO save
their lives, and the presence of arsenic was
discoyered. HHa sd icR ~ soi .r"H.
