HERE'S A STORY oE THE MYSTIC
One Sister Takes Poison, and Her
Twin. Miles Away. Dies.

One Sister Takes Poison, and Her
Twin, Miles Away, Dies.
Students Of the curious will find lots
Of material for investigation in the fol-
lowing queer story: Mary and Anna
Carter were twins. They were born in
Indiana in 1856. From infancy the
girls were inseparable companions, and
as they grew older a bond of sympathy,
stronger than that usually existing be
tween two sisters. was noticeable. Ii
Mary was sick Anna was sure to feel
badly. Matters went along in this way
until 1880, when Mary was married to
AlonzO Whittam, and later removed to
BrOOme County. New York. Two years
after Anna was married to William
Schnell and took up her home at Cairo,
Illinois.
The sisters coTesponded frequently.
but as family cares pressed, their let
ters grew infrequent, and when. four
years ago, Mrs. Schnell moved to Okla
homa they ceased entirely. The strange
result of the sympathetic bond which
made one sister feel i'll when the other
was sick did not end, however.
One day in February last Mrs Whit
tam, feeling unwell, took what she sup
posed was a dose of medicine her hus-
band had procured for her from a ply
stefan in Binghamton, but which proved
to be tincture of acOnite that had been
set away and forgotten. Soon she be
gan to feel i'll, and her husband hastily
prepared antidotes and a neighbor was
sent for a physician. When the physi
clan arrived Mrs. Whittam was 10
comatose condition, and it was with
the greatest difficulty she was revived.
She recovered, however, and about a
month afterward received a letter from
Mr. Schnell. saying her sister was dead
and that death occurred in a peculiar
manner.
On the day in February that Mrs.
Whittam was taken sick Mrs. Schnell
fell suddenly and violently Ill. No
cause could be assigned and the physi-
clan who was called pronounced all the
symptoms to be those of poisoning At
first it was suspected she had tried to
commit suicide, but this was disproved;
then suspicion centered on the husband.
but there was nothing to implicate him
as their life had always been extremely
happy. \ post-mortem examination re
vealed the fact that the heart had been
strangely affected, as in aconite poison
ing, but no poison could be found in the
system.
When Mrs. Whittam wrote an ac-
count Of her suffering relatives con
cluded that death was the result of the
sympathetic bond existing since child
hood. Both had been affected alike,
but Mr.. Whittam, knowing the cause
Of the difficulty, administered the prop.
er antidotes, and his efforts. seconded
by those of the physician. We're sue
cessful. while Mr.. Schnell and the doc
tor, being in the dark as to the cause
of the illness, could not combat it sue
ce-sfully.
Some persons in the Schnell neigh
horhood still hold to the theory that the
woman died from heart disease. but the
majority believe her death was due to
an accident.
