PHI TO THE HERALD
BUFFALO, n. Y, Feb. 2,

By TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD
BUFFALO, n. ", Feb. 2, 1872
The young woman Anna Cox, who. it is alleged
poisoned the wife and three children of John TAFT
OF Clarence, in this county had examination at
that place yesterday and held to await the action
of the Grand jury. This morning Constable Morris
W. Underwood brought Miss Cox to this city and
lodged her in jail
THE woMASs APPEARANCE.
The prisoner is quite unprepossessing: her face is
thin and salow, her frame small and spare and her
hair short and grizzly. She is perfectly sclf-pos
sessed and very reticcnt. She denies having written
the letter which contained the six powders of arsenic,
and denies having had anything to do with the act
The testimony OF Mrs. Taft and her show that
the person who delivered the letter at the house on
the evening of Sunday Miss Cox, whom they
recognized by her voice.
EVIDENCE Cr COMPLETELY.
Mr.. Taft, who arrested accomplicc. was
discharged from custody but letters in the pos
session o. the District Attorney prove conclusivey
that John Taft and Miss Cox correspondence,
and that she infatuated. The belief is quite
general that the plan of poisoning the whole family
concocted by these parties and had 1t not been
that there overdose in each powder the four
persons who took the powders would have died
They still quite sick and il is not improbable that
the two little girls will die There is great excitement
i'm the village of Clarence and but for the wachful
of the officers there is telling what would
have occurred.
