REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Boston, Mass, Nov. s.-Ffend incarnate
or innocent victim Of a chain of circum-
stances. every link of which is the death Of
a human being-one or the other is Miss
Jane Toppan, the professional nurse who
is now In jail at Barnstable charged with
the murder by poisoning of Mrs. Mary Z.
Gibbs of Cataumet, who died August 81.
Twelve deaths follow in the wake Of the
woman. some 50 far back that the lapse
of time precludes the possibility of the
cause of death being changed from that
which was given in the death certificate
granted at the time
In the center of this case, on which the
attention of the State is focused. is a wom-
an Of 20. who. when years old. as Nora
Kelley. with two older sisters. became an
inmate in an asylum in this city. There
she remained until a sprightly girl in her
teens. when she entered the family of Abb
ner Toppan. in Lowell, whose family name
she took. Much attention was paid to the
schooling of the adopted daughter. and she
passed through all grades. including the
High School.
Miss Toppan began study fo- the profess
sion of nursing fifteen years ago in the
Cambridge Hospital She was a favorite
there and ministered to the patients with
tenderness and care. While she attended
the invalids and suffering. Miss Toppan ac-
quired knowledge of medicines and their
effects.
Little has been done thus far by the au-
thorities to trace the antecedents OF the
woman. The prisoner refuses to say any
thing about this or about any of the mat
ters relating to her arrest. and the Dis
trict Attorney will not permit an interview
with her in the jail.
District Attorney Holmes was in Boston
yesterday. and, in discussing the Toppan
case. said:
THE woman We have in the Barnstable
Jail is charged with one murder-that of
Mrs. Mary ID. Gibbs-and We suspect that
she had something to do with the deaths of
at least nine others.
