YOUNG DORA CUsuMAN POISONED.
Tho Man Said TO He Responsible for Her Com
dillon Pnrnued in Two statea.


BRISTOL. VT, Aug. 16.-The autopsy In tho
case Of Dora Cushman, the 15.yearold girl
whose body was found in a pasture at Lincoln
yesterday. shows that death resulted from pois-
oning. 1t was disclosed, also. that the girl was
in a delicate condition. Parts Of the body have
been sent to Burlington for expert examination.
These disclosures. together with the arrest Of
a man who is wanted as q witness in the case,
have caused intense excitement throughout this
region to-day. The arrest was made last mid
night. The man now in custody is William
Brittel. an intimate friend of Smith Davis, who
disappeared from Lincoln yesterday upon learn
Ing that the body had been found. Tho police
Brittel. by his own admission. is the last person
who saw the Cushman girl alive, and the police
believe that he knows a great deal about tho
case. He has been questioned closely, and to-day
he admitted that Davis told him of the CuBhman
girls condition. and said he had procured some
trouble. 1t was learned further that Brittel
probably acted as messenger between Davis and
the girl. telling her that Davis had the medicine
and that he would meet her In the woods to give
1t to her. 1t Is thought the girl went to the ap-
pointed place. took the dose. whatever it was,
and then either walked along with Davis to tho
place where she fell in the pasture. or died In
his presence and was dragged to the secluded
spot where her body was found.
INC authorities have traced tho fugitive as far
as Rutland, where he changed his hat for q cap
and had his mustache shaved off. 1t Is not
known just how he reached Rutland. but he
bought a ticket from there to Manchester, \. II.
the New Hampshire city have been notified to
watch for Davis.

CRAZED BY HIS LOSS.
Young Merger Arrested for Annoying His
Ftnncee,

F1nncee.
The refusal OF l9-yearold Pauline Karle Of
1872 johnson avenue. Williamsburg. to marry
Theodore Merger, a barber, to whom she has
been engaged since last spring. has made Merger
apparently insane. He is % years old. and came
from Germany three years ago. A year later he
inherited s., 900. which he spent in q few
months. He did nothing for u long time after
that. Finally n friend got him q Job In VIII
liamsburg. near the girls house. last Christmas.
A nc!ghbor introduced Merger to Miss Karle.
and he became infatuated with her. He called
at her house three times Il week. In May he
asked her to marry him. She refused until she
was older. Merger finally prevailed upon her to
promise to become his wife next Christmas.
Two weeks ago he was invited to supper. Be-
fore he would touch anything at the table he
asked him what the matter was he told her he
was satisfied that she had designs on his life.
Miss karle concluded that he was crazy, and
ordered him TO leave and never call upon her
again. Merger pleaded in vain. Every day after
that he went to the girls house. but she refused
knees in front of her house and ilnplore her to
see him. Mergers actions became 80 annoying
that on Sunday night Miss Karle went to the
Stagg street police station and complained about
him and he was arrested. At the station house
he acted as II he were crazy. The police held
him on the charge of vagrancy. When he was
nrraigncd in the Even Street Police Court yes
punish him. The Justice rcmanded tho barber
for examination az 10 his sanity.
Merger threw up his job in the early part Of
August and has not worked since.
