THE CAMDEN CASE
Mrs. Atkinson on Trial on Charge
of Forgery

GLENVILLE, W. Va, Oct. 6.-All
barriers being removed, the trial of Mrs.
Atkinson was resumed today The pre-
liminary proceedings were brief, and a
Jury was soon empanelled of the repre-
sentative men of the county and sworn.
The trial opened with the. reading of the
indictment, which charges Mrs. Atkin =
son and Joshua p Owens, a farmer with
being jointly engaged in a felonious ut
tering of certain receipts alleged to be
forged. Owens and Mrs. Atkinson are
being tried together. The receipts in the
transactions, aggregating something
over $1400 were filed by the state as evil
dence. The state claims that the re-
ceipts were written and signed in Judge
Camdens r.ame by Mrs. Atkinson, then
Mrs. Camden, some years after Judge
Camden's death. This last allegation is
d.anied by the defense, although the fact
that the receipts are wholly in the hand :
writing of Mrs. Atkinson, was today ad-
m.ted by her attorneys.
Camden Sommers, on whose evidence
he indictment was brought, was the
liIs witness examined by the state. He
described his discovery of the papers.
and pointed out his reason for his belief
that they were forged.
Letters from Owens to Judge Camden
were introduced as evidence for the pur-
pose of showing the non-payment of the
money for which the receipts are sup
posed to have been given.

CHILD POISONERS
A Hideous Charge Against Two Negro
Women

CAMDEN, N j., Oct. 6.-Mrs. Mary
Sammon and Mrs. Jennie Layton, two
colored women, were arrested today on
suspicion of being concerned in the death
of three children, all of whom died under
circumstances requiring a coroner's GER
tificate.
The matter first came to Coroner Lip
pincott's attention today when he was
called to the women's home in connec-
ton with the death of Joseph Brecken-
ridge, aged years, a foster child of Mrs.
Sammon. The boys lips and hands
showed what looked like carboic acid
burns. Mrs. Sammon said the boy had
been treated for diphtheric sore throat
and denied having administered any poi
son. In view of the past deaths at the
house and the present suspicious cir
cumstances the coroner ordered the ar
rest of both women.
After investigation it was learned that
all Mrs. Layton's five children had died
and a coroner's certificate was required
in each instance.
The coroner said he was called to the
house on September 18th and gave GER
tificate in the case of Joseph Layton,
aged years, and four days later Erastus
Layton, aged months, also died sud
denly. During the day a post mortem
examination on the Breckenridge boy
was made, but before arriving at decis-
ion it was decided to submit the heart
and lungs to chemical analysis

dren may be disnterred and examined
