Rankn's sister came unexpectedly into
the room, and discovered the boy lust
leaving the pantry. Entering that room
she found lot of peculiar colored powder
scattered about the shelves, and some of it
sprinkled in dish of apple sauce which
stood in the room. The boy confessed
that the powder had been given him by an
older brother If his, who told him that it
was rat posion, and that he was to put it in
the food of Mr.. Rankin and his sister, but
