SUSPECTED OF A

Mysterious Death of Her Father-in-

| Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Lake City, Iowa, June 2s.-Upon the analysis
of the contents Of the stomach Of Cyrus Pratt,
whose. funeral was interrupted Monday to inves-
tigate charge of murder against Mrs. Pratt
and their hired man. Will Kersng, will depend
not only the prosecution of these two for this
offense, but perhaps investigation into the death
of Mr.. Pratt's father some five years ago.
1t is well remembered here that Mr.. Pratt's
father died after a lingering, strange Illness
during which he treated by several ply
sicians, none of whom could diagnose his case.
The Pratt farm Yetter Is known thruout
the county as one fully equipped with splendid
buildings and all modern contrivances: The
elder Pratt was termed wealthy. After his
rather strange death, the family was broken up,
the Cyrus and wife remaining on the home
place.
that Mrs Pratt was very friendly with Kers-
ing, who has worked in the community for many
years. She was good looking and younger than
her husband. Pratt was taken sick five weeks
ago. DR.. Barry of Auburn could not diagnose
the case, and Dr.. Hull Of Lake City was called
in consultation. He was puzzled
He says the patient seemed not sick enough
to be in bed when he called, but always was
worse just before He thinks now it was the
action of arsenic administered in small doses.
DR.. Speaker, Lake City physician, was pres
ent at death. No one was able to diagnose
the case.
1t is asserted that Mrs. Pratt purchased
poison twice at Yetter drug store recently
signing the poison register on both occasions
Mr.. ana Mrs. Pratt nad TWO cnlldren. Dotn
girls. Kersng is in Jail at Rockwell City and
Mrs. Pratt is guarded at her home.
Evidence Of Guilty Relationship.
It is believed that Persing will soon tell all
he knows of the case. Dr.. Speaker of Lake
View was the last physician to call on Pratt
last Friday afternoon. Pratt went into con-
vulsions after he left. Mrs. Pratt retired early
in the evening and was called at 2 o'clock She
took Persng's hand and stood with her head
on Persng's shoulder while her husband died.
She shed no tears. She was told to go back
to bed.
Later seeking clothing to dress the body
went into her bedroom and found Pers1nG with
her. The next morning Persing went to the
Bank of Yetter and asked about Pratt's life
insurance and bank account. Then he went to
| Lake City with Mrs. Pratt and the next day
the two went to Yetter together
When the funeral stopped Monday for an
| investigation, Mrs. Pratt was not apparently
| surprised. Persing denied knowing anything
about the poison. Mrs. Pratt finally admitted
she bought arsenic at McNichols' drug store
| In Yetter on March and June %. but said she
used it on bread to poison mice, and when asked
! to produce some of it declared she had burned 1T

Stocks and Bonds.

New York, Oct 25.-Today's active
market was irregular and uneven up
TO the abrupt general fall in prices in
the final hour of trading and the con-
nicting currents in the market were so
striking at times as to give it d de-
cidedly feverish tone. Speculative in
terest centcred on the group of Coal
crs. in which there was some degree
OF excitement and an advance to
record prices in important members of
the group including Reading, Delaware
and Hudson and Central Railroad of
New Jersey. No actual news was forth
coming to explain the movement be-
vond general considerations bearluS on
tho trade but many surmises were
afloat as a result of the large demaG@
for Lehigh Valley III Philadelphia.
The movement in Locomotive took
on n new lease of life on grounds OF
trade activity now well known The
other railroad equipment stocks were
rather unresponsive. a temporary.
advance in sugar was due to suggcs-
ton of a possible coming distribution
of surplus earnings. The advance IN
the Coalers had some sympathetic ell
feet in the railroad list but it did eX-
tend far and did not persist. Inc
pressure upon Rock Island was threat
ening and was prompted by the as
closure of an amount of earnings IN
the annual report which was Insult
ficient to meet the preferred dividend
requirement. Money continued rcla-
lively easy but as Il result OF this con-
dition foreign exchange made furth-
Ell advance to within the immediate
neighborhood of the gold export point

Hon. Morgan G. BULKELEY. President.
Aetna Life Insurance Company,

The special weakness of the local
traction stocks was attributed to opin-
ions on the local political outlook, al
though the special weakness of the
Metropolitan stocks was commented
upon. The fall in those stocks and
the heavy selling of Rock Island were
the principal factors in breaking the
market and in causing the abrupt de-
cline of the last hour. which carried
prices comprehcnSivcly below last
nights level. Hasty covering of shorts
by tho bears induced a sharp rally and
the irregular closing tone left price
changes very irregular and not impor-
tant except in a lesser number of
stocks.
