 CHICAGO, Oct. 7.- Dr. Oliver B Hart, young physician residing ir the suburb of Rogers Park, is in the custody of the police pending further investigation of the death of Irene Klo kow, ten years old, which occurred ir the residence of the physician. It ii said by the police that charge of mur. der will be lodged against Dr. Hart.
 It Is the opinion of the authorities based on the facts disclosed at the in quest, that the girl was maltreated and then poisoned in an attempt tc conceal the crime. After finding that 1t was impossible for the child to re. cover the physician swallowed nor. phine and lay in an unconscious con. dition all night, and after he had par. italy recovered he was brought to the city and locked up in the East Chica. go avenue police station.
 The girl was taken about year ago from the Illinois Industrial Home For Girls by Dr. Hart and his wife, who desired 6 girl who could serve in a measure as companion for Mrs. Hart, who is but seventeen years of age, and at the same time do light work about the house. While two sisters .of. Irene Klokow called at the Hart residence and in company with Mrs. Hart went on a shopping expedition to the city Irene, complaining of headache, was left alone in the house with the phy. Bician,
 What happened in the house is not known, but the first intimation that anything was wrong was telephone message sent by Dr. Hart to a neigh bor, Mrs. Richard Cortis. Dr. Hart told the woman to summon help at once, as he was dying. Mrs. Cortis sent word to physician and then ran to the Hart residence. She let her lit tie daughter climb through a cellar window and unbolt the front door. After entering she called to Dr. Hart. and he shouted from the floor above: Here I am. You will have to break through another door," Mrs. Cortis threw her weight against the bedroom door and broke 1t open.
 The Klokow girl was lying on the bed partially dressed, her hair disar- } ranged and much of it torn from her head and the room showing evidences of a desperate struggle. The girl was unconscious and evidently dying. and Dr. Hart informed Mrs. Cortis that she had swallowed morphine pills after he had given her some medicine. Just at this instant Mrs. Hart returned from her shopping expedition. and the physician summoned by Mrs. Cortis ar rived.
 pr. Hart repeated to them the story be had told to Mrs. Cortis, and when the physician, Dr. Hulstron. went to work over the body of the girl Dr. Hart went into an adjoining room and swallowed a large quantity of nor phine. The efforts of Dr. Hulstron to revive the girl were unavailing. and she died in a short time. Dr. Hart was given some restoratives. and Dr. Hulstron labored over him for several hours before being convinced that he. would ultimately recover. Dr. Hart. when in an almost normal condition, was taken into custody.
 pr. Hart. who is said to be a nor phine aend. has resided in Chicago but q short time and is the son of a mil lionaire of St. Louis. who has sent him regularly an allowance of money which bas supported him and his wife.
