The poisoning cases in Windsor, Conn.,,
briefly noted by telegraph, are causing much
excitement in that vicinity. The statement is
made that on the 10th woman and boy in a
sleigh came to the Windsor Locks Post Office,
and handed E. B. Bailey, the clerk, three pack
ages or paper boxes, to be sent, one TO Lester
Dewey, OF Mapping, and the other to E. R.
Pitkin, of South Windsor, both of whom are
respectable farmers, and well-to-do as proper
ty is rated in their neighborhoods. The boxes
were weighed to fix the amount of postage,
which. Mr. RailAy- infA.mAd- thu -1raman
amounted to 81 lS. This she paid, and with
the boy, drove Off 1t is buta dozen or fifteen
miles, 10 direct line, to the villages of South
Windsor and Mapping, but the mail goes by
circuitOus route, and it was Friday when the
parties received their boxes. which were found
gum drops, and handed some to Mrs.. Dewey
She ate two or thee aud turned out the con-
tents TO discover the prize, which was trif1e !;
as she did SO she noticed the crumbs of candy
and considerable white powder in the bottom
of the bLx which looked like sugar. She wet
her finger and touched this and put it on her
tongue, remarking that it tasted queer for can
dy. They were just ready to ride out, and so
giving the children taste OF one or two
apiece, the box was put up On their return
dose of gin, which caused him TO vomlt, and
gave bis wife glass which bad the same effect
and doubtless saved their lives, IS the white
powder was Arsenic. Ms. Dewey life was
despaired Of for two days, but she is now bet
ter. All OF Mr.. PItkin's family were badly
poisoned. 1t is believed that the poison was
sent by Mrs. Stiles who formerly lived in
South Windsor, and manifested very Jealous
disposition while there. Mrs. Dewey, who
wa. then a widow, kept house for Mrs Stiles
curing Mrs. Stiles's illness, and in that way
be came acquainted with her. But it is diff
cult to inas inc what could have been the no
tive for this fendish " ork.
