County Secured for Evidence.

Sheriff \. r. Tomlinson took the
candy and the stomach to Chicago
for analysis. The county has been
hunted over for evidence which
might throw some light on the
strange death of the young woman.
Only one incident has developed
which at all aids in furnishing mo-
tive. This is the one which the res
idents who know decline to discuss.
1t may be a thorough explanation
and again may be valueless.
With the homecoming of State's-At-
torney Graham il is expected that
there will be definite developments.
Both girls were church members.
Miss Dunlap of the United Presbyter-
ian congregation and Miss Dool of
the Presbyterian. The dead girl was
one of family of four daughters and
one son. Her parents are living. The
members of her family are convinced
that her death was not accidental
and are looking to the states attor-
ney's office for an investigation.

Possible Arrest Later.
While Assistant States Attorney
Burgess says that the case is one
which demands thorough investiga-
ton, and while he admits that suffi-
cient justification for an arrest ex-
lists, he says the necessity for it does
not. as there is no danger of any
suspected persons leaving town. In
this small community conditions are
so different from those in a large
city that arrests do not have to be
made to prevent escape, he says. Miss
Dunlap's attitude in the matter is Sc
rene and seemingly candid. She is
seIf-possessed and cool when ques-
toned. She related the story of the
buying of the candy and explained
the purchase of the strychnine with
out embarrassment.
The poison, she said, had been pur-
chased to use as a treatment for
eorns. She said she had made two
purchases of strychnine, buying 5
cents worth each time. She also
said that the last purchase had been
made at least a week before Miss
Dool died, and not two days before,
as the papers are informed.

4 MYSTERY
Death of Miss DooI PerpIexes
Authorities at
Aledo.
SOME POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENTS
Report ON Chemical Test Awaited
Before Action is
Taken.
SOME POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENTS


murdered or her death was due to
natural causes is the problem which
is perplexing the Aledo authorities.
The girl died with all the symptoms
of strychnine poisoning, but a report
from the Rush medical college i'm Chi
cago, where her stomach and candy
of which she had eaten Just previous
to her fatal illness have been sent for
analysis, is awaited before action can
be taken.
In Aledo, where the young woman
lived and where the investigation is
being conducted, residents are fol-
lowing each step taken by the states
attorneys office with fOrebodings. \
realization of the worst fears will
involve some of the most respected
families of the county seat.
Given Candy by a Girl Friend.
Miss Dool died in agony after eat
ing candy given her by Miss iona
Dunlap, a lifelong friend. The candy,
it has been pronounced, contained
strychnine. The results of the analy-
SIS of the stomach's contents have
not been given to the Mercer county
authorities.
The corOner's jury in it's verdict
ascribed the death to strychnine,
probably concealed in candy. Miss
Dunlap was taken seriously ill the
night Miss Dool died, but the physi-
clans declared there was no trace of
poisoning in her case.
No arrests have been made. States
Attorney w. j. Graham is in the
west. He will return today and the
evidence which has been collected by
his assistant, IL. f. Burgess, will be
given him. Some action is expected
then.
Il have done nothing that was
wrong" said Miss Dunlap last night.
Il am willing to tell all that l know
about Allies death"
No Motive Apparent,
Possible motives for the death of
Miss Dool are being canvassed by the
authorities. All the reasons which
lie in jealousy and love have been
analysed, and, with one exception. no
adequate motive for the murder of
the girl can be found. That one ex-
ception involves another Aledo fam
lily. 1t is known to few residents of
the town, and these few hope that it
cannot be verified.
If the worst fears of those in the
states attorneys office are, realized,
Mercer county will have a case as as
tonishing any which ever disturb
ed Il great city. If the death of Miss
Dool be ascribed finally to accident
the case will remain one of the most
peculiar that ever resulted fatally.
Miss DUol and Miss Dunlap both
had been popular girls in Aledo.
Both were of excellent family. They
had been friends for many years.
Both, at different times. had been
employed in the dry goods store of
B. f. Felix. Miss Dool was working
there at the time of her sudden
death.
Nothing ever had been known to
disturb their friendship. With those
circumstances known the authorities
now are confronted with the facts in
the case.

Facts In the Case.

Tuesday, Aug. ), Miss Dunlap pur-
chased strychnine of DR.. c. W. Car
ter, a local physician. The succeed
ing day she purchased some choco-
late candy of r. A. Miner, a dealer in
Aledo. Thursday, Aug. z, in company
with Miss Margaret Miller, she again
bought candy, similar to that which
she had purchased the day before. \
half hour afterward this candy was
offered to Miss Dool, who ate several
pieces and is said to have complained
at the time that it was bitter. This
same complaint was made by Miss
Dunlap herself. The girl who gave
the candy left the store and was half
way home when she was taken ILL.,
Meanwhile Miss Dool had gone into
spasms in the store. Between her
gasps for breath she managed to tell
Maynard Marquis, another clerk in
the store, where a piece of the candy
was. She had bitten into it, but had
not eaten it. This was secured and
given to druggist for analysis. He
found crystals of strychnine imbed
ded in the cream.

the stomach.

Dies After a Few Hours.

Miss Dool was taken i'll about $3.50
o'clock in the afternoon. She died
at 10 o'clock that night. Miss Dun
laps illness became more serious af-
ter she reached home. Some simple
remedies were used, but after neigh
bors had teIephoned to her residence
that Miss DooI had died of poisoning,
two physicians, DIR. Reynolds and DR..
Carter, were called in. After they
had alleviated the girls pain they de-
clared that there was no trace of
poison.
The candy in the store where Miss
Dunlap had bought the chocolate
drops was examined and some of it
has been sent to Chicago for anaIy-
sis. That which was taken out of
the tray had been pronounced free
from any faint of poison. 1t adds to
the mystery of the case that both
Miss Dunlap and Miss Miller ate from
the same sack as Miss Dool. Miss
Miller was not taken ill at all.
These are the facts as the authori-
ties have them. From Rush medical
