fhs Cecil Pefssnsns Case

ELKroN, ND, Jan. 28.-Mrs. Hall,
wife Of WIN Hall, Of Elkton, and four
children, were again taken suddenly
Ill to day, and every indication points
to their having been poisoned. On
Tuesday last, 1t will be remembered,
tho same members Of the family were
taken sick suddenly. and there were
evidence, that tho causs Of the illness
WAS some irritant poison. They were
attended then by DIR. Ellis, who 10 .
very prominent physician, and under
whose treatment they speedily recover
ed. The family is in poor circum-
stances, and the fact that the children
were taken sick just after eating, and
the mother, who ate nothing, WAS taken
sick ut the same time the children
were, led to the belief that II they wore
poisoned 1t was not the result Of acct.
dent. 1t is now believed they were poi
soned ON that occasion, as well ~ to-
day, and that 1t was not suicidal at
tempt In either case. Their physician
was hurrisdly sent for to-day when tho
second attack showed itself, and pro.
per emstics were given. The boy, who
was 40 Ill after the first attack, Is get
ting better, but the mother Is very Ill,
and the other children are in no better
condition. Suspicious pointed to an
older daughter, who does not reside
with her parents, and who had turned
out badly and once served . term In
the House OF Correction. The mother
openly accused her Of poisoning the
family, and on complaint OF the father,
William Hail, she has been arrested
and lodged In Jail. The attending ply
sician, although reticent about the mat.
tor, said tonight that the illness in both
cases was from poison, undoubtedly,
but less poison was given the second
time than on the first occ aston. Tho
family WAS also advised not to allow
the daughter 10 como near them again.
Tho doctor examined several articles OF
food and some sugar IN . sugar-bowl.
Although he could find no traces Of
arsenic crystals, he strongly advised
them to throw the sugar out and not
attempt TO uss it. The family were
tax, sick the first time after drinking
Of tea. The neighbors are all confident
that an attempt has been made to kill
the entire family, and even the father,
had he bean home.
