Poison Her si,ter,s Family. anrd Is Under

CmcAao; June 17.-Mary Kleman, the.
girl under Indictment on the charge OF
poisoning with intent to kill the family of
her sister, AIrs. Michael Freres, at Rose
Hill, and who is also under shadow for
the death q, and Is said to have confessed
to poisoning her father and sister a
year ago, was placed on trial nEJudge
Anthony's court to-day. But little time
was spent in securing jury:
Miss Kleman was dressed in deep
mourning for her parents and sat by the
side Of her counsel and watched the pro-
ceedings closely, but with a calmneas that
oae would think impossible in woman
who shrank 80 from the mention Of her
case while abe was confined in the county
iail, At times she exhibited nervousness
10 q slight degree, but she quickly con-
trolled herself.
Mrs. Ereres, sister Of the prisoner is q
small woman with dark eyes, and looked
asreat deal like the prisoner. When she
took the stand she showed no sympathy
for the prisoner and appeared decidedly
on the aggressive. She said that on
Tuesday night, prior to the poisoning, the
defendant proposed that they have soup.
Witness acquiesced and soup was served:
Miss KEENAN, refused to eat any herself,
saying that she did not care for 1t.
Shortly after eating it they were
all taken sick, and continued SO
until Thursday, when they were much
better. On that day Mary propssed that
they have more soup and again refused to
eat. They were all taken sick and she
grew suspicious. She saw o gray sub.
stance inithe soup and q paper found in
Yard also contained q similar powder.
Afterthe testimony ofseyeral physicians,
which went conclusiyely to show that the
soup contained arsenic, the case was given
toithe jury ats O'Clock. Shortly before 8
r. NJ, the Jury returned averdict OF guilty,
and the penalty named being one year in
the penitentisry. -

After the regular order OF business had
been gone through, little preliminary
elbow out" was INDUCED in by the mem.
bers, after which Captain Birch; was re,
quested to @drill us once more and com.
piled. The members "tellinn and went
through the eyolutions under the com,
mand OF their loved leader for twenty
minutes, Notwithstanding the intense
heat.
After short rest, the time being pleas.
antly occupied by. the singing Of the glee

again the order TO "fall in" was given,
and at 10 o'clock the club took up the
line Of march TO Entlers Cafe Brunswick,

Here covers were laid for fifty and
every seat was occupied. The supper
served at this establishment was indeed o

best OF everything eatable, which was
brought on In regular courses.
A pleasant feature was the presentation
to Captain Birch by Edward ). Franzheim
ofa night blooming cereus. Thetlower was
passed round the tables, and the mem
bers present were thus enabled to
minutely examine its beauty and inhale
its fragrant odor. I.
Immediately after the repast, VIII Tie

ter, called the club to order, and in Q neat
little speech called upon oscars Seeley for

club would be q heavy loser by the ap-
pointment Of their brother to 0 foreign
mission, In the name Of the club he ex-
tended heartfelt congratulations and many
wishes for tho future prosperity of the

The response of Captain Birch was by

spoke for twenty minutes and was given
the closest attention throughout. Here

issued twelve or thirteen years ago, and
II was fact well known that q large
amount Of money which the defendant re-
eeiyed for the over issue was paid in
dividends at twelve percent per annum to

that he protited very little himself in the
