The conquerers have problems of great DIFF

BOTH WOMEN DEAD FROM Eff
FECTs OF POISON
Their Father Satisfied It Is O Case of
Murder-Says He Has Reasons
for So Believing
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. l3.-The Record

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. l3.-The Record
tomorrow will publish the following:
DOVER, Del, Aug. 13-"I believe that
candy was sent for the purpose of taking
the lives of my daughter and her little
girls"
That was the emphatic statement made
today by exICongressman John Is. Pen
nington in the parlor of whose house lay
the bodies of his two daughters Mrs. John
d. Deane and Mrs. John P. Dunning, who
died in agony after they had partaken of
chocolates that had been sent to Mrs. Dun
ming through the mails. When it was urged
that the poisoning of the candy might not
have been intentional, Mr.. Pennington de-
clared that he would tell later why he held
to such belief
The paper in which the box of candy was
wrapped was closely examined and the
postmark San Francisco was made out.
There Is division among the people here
as to whether a crime was committed or
the deaths were caused by poisoning that
developend In the candy on it's trip from
San Francisco. Mr.. Pennington believes
that the Mrs. c." signature was as
sumed and that the candy was prepared
with poison and sent east for the purpose

her little girl Mr.. Pennington says the
signature was of the forged order, and
furthermore, he declared that Mrs. Dun
nng's friend whose name commenced with
'C'' is now in Maine.
There were five doctors called in al the
Pennington home to attend Mrs. Deane
and Mrs Dunning.
DR.. Bishop, one of the physicians, stated
today that there was no questions but that
the candy was poisoned but he leaned to-
ward the accident theory. He said there
was no indication that arsenic had been
introduced into the system of the victims.
DR.. Bishop said that If the candy had
been subjected to excessive heat, ptomaines
may have developed. He could not say
what particular poison caused the deaths.
DR.. Downs another physician who was
called in, asserted that the poison that
caused the deaths paralyzed the nerve
centers and then the heart action ceased.
He rather inclined to the belief that the
candy had been Intentionally poisoned.
| though he said the chances for accidental
poisoning were numerous.
There will be no post mortem examna-
L tons on either of the dead women, as both
bodies have been embalmed

Washington, Feb. 25.-Thanks to the
promptness and efficiency of the chief
Of engineers and the chief Of ordnance
of the army, the City of Washington
is now regarded as being well nigh
safe and secure from attack by water.
The Notifications at Fort Washington
and Sheridan Point, on the opposite
side Of the Potomac, are sufficiently
advanced to be able to repel an ordin-
ary fleet Of invaders, and In case of
necessity they could be vastly strength
ened in a comparatively short time.
These defenses are considered suffi-
cient to keep all hostile vessels be-
yond the range of gunshOt of the ma
tional capital.
Moreover, the river has been blocked
off and prepared for mines and torpe-
does at point below the Notifications
already mentioned. so that 1t is prob
able some of the ships of an enemy
would be blown out of the water be-
fore it would be necessary to use the
guns at the forts.
