ATTEMPT TO POISON
CHARGE MADE TO POLICE BY
HOLLOWAY FURRoW.
Two Arrests Made and Case to Be
Heard in Police Court
Tomorrow.

Holloway Furrow of 727 It'll street north
east called at police headquarters early
last evening and reported that an attempt
had been made to kill him by putting car
bolic acid in his medicine. He drank some
Of the liquid and his mouth was burned
Fortunately he discovered the presence of
acid in his medicine before he had taken
enough Of the mixture to do much harm
Detectives O'Brien and Burrows were as
signed to the case by Capt. Boardman and
before much time had elapsed they had
made two arrests on suspicion. One Of the
persons arrested is Esther Archer, colored,
fourteen years old, who was employed In
the house of Mr.. Furrow a domestic.
The other is Mrs. Bessie Donoghue, friend
of the family. She Is sixteen years old.
Both girls were sent to the house of de-
tention and a charge of assault was pre-
ferred against them. Furrow is employed In
the circulation department of local paper
He was married about three years ago.
Three days ago he had some words with
his wife and the latter left home. She re-
manned away only a short time, however
returning yesterday. Mrs. sDonoghue was a
caller at the house yesterday and she was
arrested. although the detectives are sat
isfed now that she took hand in the
alleged attempt on the mans life. me
colored child was found at her home, 1873
Wylie street. while Mrs. Donoghue was at
neT nome, Caltdn street, WueH TIC Oe-
tectiveS called.
Conflicting Statements.
After being questioned and making con-
Trajectory statements the two were escort
ed to police headquarters, where they were
more closely questioned. Mrs. Furrow also
told the police what she knew Of the affair.
She stated that the colored girl had said
she was going to poison her husband, but
she gave the matter no thought, as she
had not the slightest idea that the child
meant what she said Mrs. Donoghue said
she heard such a statement made by the
colored girl.
Both Mrs. Furrow and Mrs. Donoghue
also say that the colored girl pretended she
was going to drink some Of the acid to end
her own life, and they would not let her
drink the poison. Esther admits that she
attempted to take her own life, but denies
that she had put the acid in her employ
er's medicine. accusing Mrs. Donoghue Of
doing it. This statement Mrs. Donoghue
denied She said she threw the carbolic acid
bottle in the sewer after taking it from the
colored girl.
In view of the conflicting statements made
to the officers they concluded they would
arrest Mrs. Donoghue and the colored girl
and they were held at the house of deten-
ton, as stated. Today the detectives fol-
lowed the inves tigation and the Police Court
will be called upon tomorrow to solve the
problem
