The MESSAGE said last week that
the plans for the rest room at the
court house themselves seemed
resting. Not much, the work on
repairing and cleaning up the in
terror of the old court house is 60
ing right ahead The rest room
is being arranged for and there are
other changes being made which
when completed will make you
hardly know where you are at"
when you enter Audrain's county
court building. Those old car
pet" has been carried out, and
things are going to be more sani-
tary and clearly and the stranger
if he steps within our gates, will
not be shocked with spit-bespat-
tered stairways and fioors-the
gatherings of more than u quarter
of century-it all will have been
cut out, or maybe some of it may
have to be washed out. The MES
SAGE is glad it had small part in
first suggesting some of the need
ed changes aud repairs that are be-
ing made at the county court
building.

Philadelphia, Nov. 2S.-The most re-
markable case of wholesale poisoning
Of persons TO secure insurance money

city is charged against Bridget Carey,
who was arrested by Detectives Isaacs

The woman. who is 80 years old, is
charged with having poisoned her hus-

that Mrs. Carey benefited by their
deaths TO the extent of $1,000, through
the collection Of insurance.
The womans arrest followed an in
vestigation made into the deaths OF
her two children. witch occurred last
week. II was said at the time that
their deaths were caused by eating
poisoned candy or candy that con.
tanned deleterious substances. An an
alysis of candy such as the children
are said 60 have purchased showed
that Il contained no poisonous sub
stance. and when Coroner's Physician
Wadsworth made an analysis OF the
stomachs OF the children he found the
little girls died from arsenical poi
soning.
According 20 Captain OF Detectives
Donaghy. il was learned that the chill
dren we're insured for S125 each and

say they learned that the woman had
secured rat poison. and on further In
vesugation IL was found that Patrick
and Cecilia Cook. brother and sister.
who lived with Mrs. Carey. had died
within a few months under suspicious
circumstances.
Miss Cook had been the lessor OF
the house and Mrs. Carey was a ten.
ant. The police officials say that Miss
Cook was insured FOR 5000 in favor oi
Patrick Cook. her brother. and that on
August 13 she died. Patrick had been

died.
When Miss Cook died a physician
who had attended her was visited by
Mrs. Carey, the police say. and asked
TO sign a death certificate for insur
ance. attesting that she died OF hear
disease. AS he had previously at
tended her for heart trouble and knew
that she was liable TO die at any mo
ment, he si-ned the certificate, though
he had not been in attendance on the
woman just prior TO her death. Mss
Cook died on August Is. and on Sep
TENDER II her brother died suddenly
in much the same manner as his sis
ter. The police officials say that Mrs
Carey secured the Insurance After
