Additions Evidence.

Hartford City, Ind, August 23.-
Two recipes for poisoning rats found
among the effects of Mrs. Rae NJ.
Krauss, are in possession of Prosecu-
tor Burns, and he believes they will
be of great value, taken with other ev-
idence, to strengthen the States case
against the woman accused of muir
dering her step-daughter.
The recipes are On circular sent
out by manufacturer Of rat poison.
There are not now and have not
been any rats about the Krauss home,
it is asserted. and there is therefore
no use for such recipes. One calls for
strychnine and arsenic The other
