Package of Coffee
Thought to be Sample was Used.-
Three People Were Poisoned.
Cincinnati Enquirer. |


MARION, IND, March 3d.-Alon-
20 Wallet and wife and Mrs. Wal
let's sister, Mrs, Sarah Fl. Kline, of
Logan, Ohio, who has been visiting
at the Wallet home, were poisoned
this morning by drinking coffee
brewed from package found on
their door step. A recent announce
ment in the local papers by a new
coffee and tea house that they
would furnish each house in the
city with trial package of coffee
led Mrs. Wallet to believe the neat
package found was for trial, and
she brewed enough for the family
for breakfast. The young son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Wallet did not par
take of the coffee, and when the
other three were taken violently Ill
soon after breakfast 1t was noted
by the physicians on their arrival
and led to the discovery of the pois'
oned coffee.
The tea and coffee firm has not
put out sample and no one in the
Wallet neighborhood has received
a sample package of coffee, conse
quently the officers conclude tha'
the poisoned coffee was purposelS
placed at Mr.. Wallets door. An in
vestigation Is being made. Th'
paper around the coffee was per
fectly plain and IL contained no ad
vertisement or writing.
The physicians have been work
ing with the victims to-day an'
think they will recover.
