THE EAST LIVERPOOL POISONING.
The Trial of Annie Vanfossen to Begin
Monday.

The Trial of Annie vanfossen to Begin
Monday.
The trial of Annie Vsnfossen, the l9.year-
old girl accused of poisoning the Vsnfossen
and McBane families, at East Liverpool on
the Sth of January last, comes up in the
Criminal Court there next Monday. 1t will
be remembered that on the evening OF the
Srh Of last January, while the Vanfossan
family were entertaining their guests, the
McBanes, at supper, those who took coffee
noticed q peculiar taste III the drink,
and IN q few moments all were taken
with a violent vomiting. Asthose who had
taken tea were not so affected, suspicion at
once pointed TO the coffee. Doctors were
sent for, and Mrs. Bane, unwilling to wait
fer them, took her little 5-year old dsugh
ter, Allie, in her arms and started for DR..
Russelrs office. She had no sooner ar
rived there than the child expired. For
days the lives of the rest of those who had
drunk the poisoned liquid hung in the bal.
ance but thanks t. the physicians efforts.
no others fell victims
Upon an examination Of the coffee enough
arsenic was found to have poisoned regi
ment the very quantity of the dose having
proved the salvation Of those who took it
