POISONED GIRL WILL RECOVER.
Developments of Sensational Nature
Probable In Cedar Rapids Case.

Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids. March 21.-Alice Ed
wards, the forewoman at the Douglas
starch factory, who was the victim of a
poisoned candy incident, is recovering
ard will survive the effect of the poison.
No arrests have been made but the po-
lice are investigating and the candy is
being analysed The affair promises
some sensational developments.
The box of candy was taken to the
starch factory Saturday afternoon by a
lad. who asked to see Miss Alice Ed
wards. the forew oman. He handed her
a box of candy saying ii had been sent
to her by one Of her friends. After
eating one piece of the candy, Miss Ed
wards thought of some suspicious in
cidents which have happened during the
past few days and ate no more of it.
She noticed that the piece she had eat
en- seemed TO have a peculiar taste
when she swallowed it, making ating-
ling sensation in her throat, and short
ly afterward she became deathly sick.
An emetic was secured and given her.
The box of candy was then taken TO the
police station and from thence sent TO
the city physician for analysis. 1t viii
take some days to make the analy-
sis.
Several nIrhts ago when Miss Ed
wards was going from the factory up
the steps OF the Milwaukee bridge,
some man grabbed her by the foot
She jerked away from 2his1I and then
he sprang up TO the sidewalk on the
bridge ahead of her and attempted to
stop her. She angrily ordered him to
desist and the fellow was evidently
afraid that the noise would bring 9th
ers to the scene for he allowed her
to. pass and she lost no time in hur-
rying across the bridge TO he home.
The firm was told OF the occurrence
the next day and told Miss Edwards
to take the Sixteenth avenue car and
ride clear around thru the city ana
down Third street to her home near
the Sunshine Mission on Third street
in the future. offering to pay her fare.
In this way she would not have 70
cross the Milwaukee bridge at Ninth
avenue.
A night or two after that note was
pushed under the door OF the sun
shine Mission store. Superintendent
Ward picked up the note and opened
1t. It was warning for Miss Ed
wards saying that the writer had
overheard a certain man threatening
10 waylay Miss Edwards and fix her..
1t is supposed that the candy was
poisoned and that it was sent to Miss
Edwards by the man who had been
heard making the threats. The result
Of the chemical analysis will be await
ed with interest.
1t seems that the man who had been
heard making the threats had grudgs
against Miss Edwards because ne
thought he would have received an In
crease of wages at one time had 1t
not been for her adverse report. This
was while both of them were working
for the American Cereal Co.
