I
 Norwalk, Nov. 1.-The six persons, members of the families of Stephen Hoyt and his son Edwin of New Ca naan, who were seriously ill as result of poisoning by rat poison, will, the at tending physicians think, recover. In the meantime the servant who had just been discharged and had left the house, starting for New York, is still missing, and no trace of her has as yet been found.
 The servant is a woman of middle age and was engaged in an intelligence office in New York. She had been working for the Hoyt families only three weeks. After she was engaged it became apparent that she would not prove satisfactory, and Mrs. Hoyt gave her a weeks notice.
 Mrs. Stephen Hoyt and Miss Edwin Hoyt suffered a relapse late yesterday afternoon, and for a time their cases seemed desperate, but at night they were better, and the recovery of al of the family is now confidently hoped for.

man who has been interviewed denies next

believes him.
