ACCIDENTAL POISONING
The Probable Cause Of the Deaths Of Two
Persons at Independence, kas.---A Boy
Dying and His Mother Unconscious.

INDEPENDENCE, Kas, Jan. "A horrify-
ing discovery was made yesterday when
Al Brown, son-in-law of George w. Read,
manager of the Long Bell Lumber COM
pany, broke into the home of the latter
and found Mr.. Read clad only in his night
clothes sitting dead in chair before q
hot stove fed by natural gas, his body In
an advanced stage Of decomposition.
Edith Scott, domestic Of the family, was
lying dead on the floor Of her room, and
Mrs. Read and her 5-year-old son were In
bed, the boy dying and the mother un-
conscious.
The terrible tragedy is shrouded In
mystery. Many theories are current as to
the cause, one being asphyxiation, another
accident al poisoning and another foul
play. The fact that two gas stoves In the
house were burning at full force practi-
cally exploded the theory Of asph xiation,
and the fact that no bruises were found
on either person renders the murder
theory almost incredible, leaving acct
dental poisoning as the most probable
cause.
None of the family were seen later than
Saturday evening, leaving no doubt
whatever that Mr. Read and the dom estic
had been dead 30 hours before discovered.
Every room in the house was intensely
hot and there being no ventilation the
fumes from the badly decomposed body
of Mr.. Read were stitling
