the report that he had discovered arsenic
in each OF the three bodies. BY this
time Mrs Sherman had left New Bruins
wick on a visit with her sister to Phla-

immediately telegraphed to Philadelphia
and New Brunswick, telling the police to
arrest Mrs. Sherman at once. The sher-

a train coming through from Philadelphia,
proceeded on rs lar as Trenton, where
he waited for her The train was so
long and so crowded that the sheriff did
not see Mrs. Sherman until she got off at
New Brunswick. She was then arrested,
and in a short time was on her way back
to Derby.
She accepted the situation with perfect
monch0la1ace, while her sister was quite

This is said to be about the state of the

that the crop in this immediate vicinity is
better than to the north and west. In
