NEW YORK, July Mrs. Lydia
Sherman was arrested in New Bruins
wick, N. j., yesterday, by officers
from Connecticut, who charge her
with having poisoned, at different
times, three husbands, and the step chill
dren, offspring of former husband by
a previous marriage. She has been TAX
en- to New Haven for examination. The
statements of the officers leave no doubt
but that the woman is guilty of one of
the most startling sensational series of
crimes that has ever been committed in
this part of the country.
This woman married a Jerseyman
nearly ten years ago, and after living
with him three years, he died suddenly,
and under circumstances which occa-
stoned considerable comment. The Sec
ond husband, she married in Connecti-
cut, and he died under equally suspi-
cious circumstances, but as nothing was
then known of any former mysteries,
no action was taken. Early in 1860, at
Derby, Conn.,, the woman married N.
ii. Sherman, a widower, with two chill
dren, one six and the other fifteen years
old. Within nine months these three
died, all under some unaccountable cir
cumstances. After the death of the old
est child, which occurred last, Mrs.
Sherman went to New Brunswick to
make visit, and also went to Pbiladel-
phia- Immediately after she had left
Derby, and succeeding the death of the
last child, the friends of Sherman took
steps to investigate the matter, and to
that end had the body of Sherman and
the two children exhumed.
The officers who came on to make the
arrest, state that undeDiable evidence of
poison was found upon all three bodies
and that it was plainly seen III the stom-
ach of the last buried of the three
They also state that they have been able
purchase of poison similar TO that of
which traces were found. The poison
was vegetable and of an unusual char
aeteF, the officers being unable to give
its name.
