most cases fell into this woman's
hands. Attention was first attracted
to the Robinson case by the
illness of Mrs. Robinson's Oldest
son, William. He was slightly injured by
box falling on him, and, going home, was
nursed by his mother. He grew rapidly
worse. The symptoms being SO different
from what should follow an injury like his
caused suspicion. He vomited freely, and
his attending physician made an examina-
tion and discovered a large quantity Of
arsenic Mrs. Robinson was O constant at
tendant at the Park Avenue Methodist
Church, in West Somerville, and those
who knew her thought we'll of her. She kept
few boarders No one seemed to kno
anything about her, and she visited very lit
tie in the neighborhood. She brought with
her family of two daughters and two
sons Her Oldest daughters name was
Elizabeth. She is now dead, and the grave
alone can tell how she died. One of the
sons was an adopted child, seven years Of
age, Thomas Arthur Freeman by name,
said to be Mrs. Robinson's sisters child
He is now dead and buried, his death oc-
curing very suddenly three weeks ago.
Elizabeth died last Eehruary Since the
death of the father, four years ago, Emma,
another daughter, has died, and it is
thought that she was also poisoned. The
police say that they can trace large num-
ber Of other victims to the accused woman.
