He lost his appetite and suffered from

not improve. Last summer he went
to his country place on the lake with
Mrs. Wait and the servants. Rev. Mr..

Mr.. Waits condition finally became
so alarming that II was decided to
return to Auburn. He grew steadily
worse. The suggestion was made that
the sewerage OF the house might be
defective and responsible for the
strange malady which afflicted the en-
tire household. Plumbers and drain
filters were called and all the pipe
ripped out. Not the slightest trace Of
sewer gas was discovered.
Suspected Ptonaine Poisoning.
Then came the theory OF ptomaine
poisoning and to treat this more sue.
cessfully Mr. Wait was taken to the
Auburn City hospital and placed under
special treatment.
The climax came one Sunday night,
when the elder Wait was returned to

West Philadelphia took the youngest
child to her home, where after hard
struggle he survived the effect Of his
illness. The two girls. however, were
treated at home and died the next day.
While the physician at first announced
his opinion that candy of a poor sort
had caused the trouble. he notified the
coroner that the case should be looked
into.
The first part OF the investigation
that followed was devoted to testing
the character of the various kinds Of
candy In the neighboring stores and
especially at the store where the chill.
dren had made their purchases.
Poison In Children's Bodies.
1t was with little surprise that the
detectives received the report Of the
chemists that the candy appeared to
be practically pure, for by the time the
chemical tests were concluded the de-
tectives had become interested in the
stories they had learned regarding
the other sudden deaths In the house
within short time.
The bodies OF the two children were
then quietly exhumed and examined
and It was found that large amount
of arsenic was in the stomach of each.
Other investigators had meanwhile
brought to light the fact that all the
persons who had died suddenly we're
insured in the same insurance com
pany.
In looking up the story of the illness
of the two children 1t was found by
the police that the story that poisoned
candy should be blamed for their
death was made public by the woman
