A ST. LOUIS MYSTERY.
Two Deaths Which Are Believed
to be the Result of Prison

ST. LOUIS, April S.-John Sullivan
and his daughter, Mrs. Minnie Dunn,
are dead, and their disease is surround
ed with mystery.
Yesterday William Sullivan, a son of
the dead man, discovered his father
and sister dead, and his mother and
Christy Dunn, a nephew, seriously i'll.
Instead of notifying the proper authori-
ties, William locked up the house and
took his mother and sister to his home.
To-day he called in the police.
The bodies were taken to the Morgue.
and William, with a brother named Ed
ward, and the other surviving members
of the family, placed under arrest. 1t
is the theory of the police that the
deaths and sickness were caused by
poison taken in their food. Whether
there was any criminal intent in con-
nection with it they are unable to say.
The Sullivan family, with the excep-
ton of William, who was married, oc-
cupied two rooms in tenement in the
rear of 1918 Biddle street. They moved
in Thursday night. Anthony Fftzpat-
rick, who occupied an adjoining room,
was placed under arrest, with Mrs. Ne
Quade, a neighbor.
All members of the family are posi-
tive they ate nothing but fried eggs
and bread and butter for supper on
Thursday night. They also had tea.
That was the last meal they ate. Fri
day afternoon Mrs. Sullivan. who is 60
years old, was aroused from the un-
consciousness that overcame the family
after Thursday nights meal. She was
suffering with terrible pains, as were
also the other members of the family,
whom she found lying near the bodies
of the dead father and daughter The
son, William, was then sent for. It is
believed there will be no more deaths.
