the little negro were both taken violently ill., and it
was then remembered that every one who was taken
sick on Friday had partfiken of the same dish This
established the fact that the poison was III the souse,
and it appearsthat the sonse had been presented to
Mrs Broaf1us by her daughter Mrs. Snead. Steps
we're then taken to ascertain who put the poison i'll the
souse 4 slice of it was given to Mrs. SHead,s cook
woman for her dinner Monday, but instead Of cat

Object was eyiacntlyto poison Capt, snpads family
