An Attempt Made AT Wholesale
Poisoning Alleged.

{ Mrs Patrick Reedy. wife of Light
house Keeper Reedy. is confined 70
her bed at her home on the corner of
Northwest and Carroll streets rs a
result of an alleged attempt at whole
sale poisoning last Monday.
Mrs. Reedy, with other members of
the household, were taking a light
lunch, consisting OF deviled crabs and
some coffee which had been ma 10 by
the servant, when the attempted poi
soning took place Shortly after the
party had separated all of them be-
came violently i'll. The other mem-
bers of the company had taken but
little of the coffee and they soon re-
covered. Mrs Reedy, ON the other
hand. drank several cups OF coffee,
and instead of improving grew stead
lily worse. until physician was SUM
moned. The physician today stated
that the woman was not by any means
out of danger.
Immediately after preparing the
coffee for the lunch. the colored girl
employed as a domestic disappeared
and has not been seen by any member
of the household since. Yesterday
partially empty package Of rough ON
rats was found hidden in the Kitchen,
and it is thought that some of this
fearful poison was placed in the
coffee. The coffee, which was left
over has been placed in the hands of a
chemist for analysis, and If il develops
that poison was i'm the fluid closer
investigation will be made and arrests
may follow.
