SYRACUSE, N. T.. Oct. 26.-The evidence
which is accommodating against Mrs. Francis
Schroeder, who was recently arrested, charged
with having poisoned Mrs. Barnard at Caatte-
mango, eight miles east Of this city. makes her
out a veritable Lucretia Borgia. Three bold
murders are already laid at her door. After her
arrest for the killing Of her mother, Mrs. Bar
nard, proofs of her knowledge and use of poi
son shed new light on the death of Mrs.. Louisa
Pope, the prisoners great amt. who died sad.
denly and mysteriously at her house in 1876.
The alleged motive was obtaining possession of
Mrs. Pope's little fortune of about 9lC0
in bonds and mortgages. The authorities arc
of the opinion that Francis will make confess
sion that she killed her mother. aud that she
was urged to do so by her husband. Those VINO
are intimately acquainted with her character.
and disposition are of the opinion that she
will admit having poisoned Ter aunt, low
that tt aces Of poison are found in her stomach.
Yet Sch oeder, her husband, 1t is UNDERWOOD.
is disposed at the proper time to tell what he
knows of the poisoning, and it Is not unlikely
that he may endeavor to turn States evidence
TO save himself. The inquest in Miss Pope's
case will be held next Tuesday.
