AND YET ANOTHER.
Shortly the mother expressed fears in re-
gard to her daughter, Sarah A. Lamb, and
in exactly one month after the death of
Orrin, June 24th, the girl manifested pre-
cisely the same symptoms--convulsive
movements Of the arms, legs and throat,
and sudden death. How the fatal draught
was given, or what cause produced her
death can only be conjectured by the AID Of
subsequent developments.
DEATH OF MRS. IRENE b. oTTMAE.
During the spring, and after the cessa-
ton OF friendly relations with the Cars,
Mrs. Lamb became a visitor in the family
Of James Gilman, a near neighbor, and, it
is stated, frequently expressed great admit
ration for Mr.. Ottman's character, in fact,
pronounced him the best man In the world,
or at least approaching that degree of
perfection. Mrs. Ottman had ex-
pressed an uuaccountable aversion
to Mrs. Lamb, but preserved an ap-
pearance of ordinary friendship toward the
woman. On the I'd day of August she had
called upon Mrs. Lamb, who either went
home with her or arrived soon after. Mrs.
Gilman complained to her husband of an
odd sensation In her stomach, to which
Mrs. mbremarked that she had given her
(Mrs. o. } some Of her hrs. L.'s) bitters,
and may be they didn't agree with her. Mrs.
Gilman ran her finger down her throat and
vomited, sf.er which she felt better, but
was taken with spasmodic symptoms dur
ing the night; physician was called who
prescribed some powders which he left.
The next day she was better
so well that she thought of assisting
her husband in the field. Mrs. Lamb pre-
pared some toast for her, and gave, or pre-
tended to give her one Of the powders left
by the physician, after which she died in
about fifteen minutes precisely the same
symptoms as in the cases heretofore re-
ferred to being noticed in her case-and
still the suspicion of the public was not ex-
cited by the remarkable similarity in the
cases with which this Mrs. Lamb had
been connected like an inevitable harbin-
ger Of quick agony and death. ~ .-.
THE CHASTITY RECORD OPEN AT LAST.
After the death of Mrs. Ottman, Mrs.
Lamb was employed by Royal Garland, a
resident of Diamond Bluff township as a
cook during harvest time. Garland was a
man Of less than ordinary intelligence, and,
having been divorced from bis wife, was

for all at the table except Garland; after
which, remarkiDg that she had missed him,

a moment with her back TO the table, when
she took his cup to the stove and turned
his tea. He soon complained of being in
pam, but started to go to the field. He
soon returned, and died in great agony
within an hour.
