POISONED DRINKING WATER
Woman Put Paris Green In Well For
"peVilment."

"DeVilment."
Baltimore. Oct. 17.-Detectives are
engaged in investigating the alleged
attempt of somebody to poison the
fsmilyfof E. Stanley Gary, at Clear
field. Baltimore county. by putting
paris green into the drinking water
well. Mr.. Gary is the only son OF
former Postmaster General James A..
Gary>and is a prominent business man
Of this city. The poison was discov-
cred by the gardener when he drew
bucket of water. He noticed that the
surface was covered with a g7eenish
substance, which proved to be paris
green. Mr.. Gary and the gardener
made an investigation and found ths
about pound of the stuff had been
taken from the tool house and thrown
into the spring.
Later it was learned that Mrs. VIII
liam Dongert, the wife of the gar
dener. had admitted putting the par
green in the well. Her purpose it was
said was to revenge herself upon an
other servant ldth whom she had
some trouble by having the blame put
upon that person.
Several circumstances connected
with the case seem to bear out this
theory. although the woman herself
declared to the detectives that sle
"did it for devilment." Mr.. Gary and
the police believe the act was the re
suit Of dementia. Mrs. Bengert is said
to have shown evidences OF an unbal-
anced mind recently.

the defense and examined at length.
He said that there wasanot a single
symptom in Mrs Brouwer's case that
could not be ascribed to ptomaiIe poi
Boning. DR.. FoTnlan said that tlS con-
ditions being as described, he would
say that ptomaine poisoning had been
the cause Of death.
Mrs. Althea Calverly, the prisoners
mother, who is 69 years old, was called
to the stand AS she made her way to
the witness chair Dr. Brouwer's eyes

Brouwer was then very weak. The
witness was in and out of the sick

while testifying Later he recovered
himself and was closely examined. He

law Elizabeth Hyer that he intended

that he had struck his wife or that he
had said to Miss Hyer that he had nc
respite for Mrs Brouwer
The doctor went into detail as to his
wife's fatal illness and his medical
treatment of her at times. Asked
whether his wife had ever shown jeal-
ousy DR.. Brouwer said that as far as be
knew she was not Jealous, although
she often showed curiosity about wo-
men who came to his office. He said
that his wife was sometimes irritable
as the result of nervousness and that
they had quarrels but their differences
were not of a serious character.

the night before Mrs Brouwer was
taken i'll she ate canned soup and corn
meat and potatoes, cottage cheese, |
bread and butter and water melon and |
drank some beer. Late that night, he 4
said, Mrs. Brouwer also ate three on
ions, sandwiches and drank a cold bot |
tie of beer and just before she went td .
bed she also ate a large piece Of cold |
watermelon.
