The candy was in a box delivered at the Casey home by messenger boy, to whom it was given by mysterious yelled woman.
 When the messenger delivered the package a party was being enter tained by Casey. who is widower. It was left unopened over night. Tn the meantime the children divided its contents and were stricken after eat ing few pieces.
 Investigation showed that the choc- olate covered creams and gum drops had been divided, portion of the in- terior removed and filled with paris green. The pieces had then been stuck together in such manner that except by close examination the di- viding would not be noticed.
 The messenger says he answered a call from near the city hospital and was met in front of that institution hy a yelled woman. who handed him the box with instructions to deliver it at the Casey home. saving it came from nurse at the hospital whose name she mentioned and who is a friend of the Casey family. No trace of the poisoner can be found and the nnrse Is unable to throw any light on the affair
