tineael himself. His followers, finding
themselves barred from every building
large enough to held meeting, were in
desperation. Goebei himself had been
unconscious for several hours, and his
death had been m0aientarily expected.
When therefore the physicians announc-
ed THAT their patient was awake and
apparently somewhat improved, they
were fsirly forced to allow the political
leaders to lay the existing situation be-
fore him. Consent was obtained with
the stipulation that the senator should
litter no word in reply and that the in
erview should be brief.
The contestant for governorship listen
ed quietly as the facts of the legislature IS
dismissal and the placing of 1000 state
troops on guard in the city were recited.
He appeared puzzled for moment and
then seemed about to speak. A physician
by the bedside checked him, whereupon
State Executive Committeeman John w.
| yreeland asked il the wounded man
could not be permitted to write. The
physician assented.
Propped up with pillows, Geebei took
pencif and paper that were placed before
hins and wrote a few words. His sug

DR. Louis n Lanehart of Hampstead. to analyze
some chocolate cake which it is believed was made
by one of the servants OF Jacob Roberts we'll
known man of Hampstead. who is in the real es-
tate business in Brooklyn. That the members Of
the Roberts family did not die from the effects OF
poison is due to the prompt action of Mr. Roberts
in summoning DR.. Robert Lount the family physi-
clan He Immediately gave every member of the
family who had eaten the cake emeucs, which re-
lieved them from the severe cramps from which
they were suffering. Not for several hours were

i'll from drinking milk, and 1t was some hours be-
fore they recovered from the attack OF cramps
which they had.
Dr. Lount said that the family showed many in
dications of poisoning, although he would not posi-
lively say that it was caused by poisoned cake.
Mr.. Roberts said that he did know his cook
by any other name than Annie. She attended the
county fair at Mineola for some days, and when
she returned home she was reprimanded for
naming by MIS-. Roberts. The servants reply was
that she would remain another week and then go.
Mr. Roberts said that he had not yet begun pro-
ceedlngs against the servant, and would not do
until hc had seen the analysis of the cake. He
added that the family might have been poisoned by
