BY POISONED CANDY
ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO MURDER
A ROCKVILLE YOUTH.
Receipt of Suspicious Package-Ex-
animation by Chemist - States
Attorney Employs Detective.

Something in the nature Of a sensation
has been created at Rockville Nd, by the
knowledge which has just become general
there that an attempt was recently made
to poison Prescott Able, a well-known
young resident OF that town. That the pur-
pose of the perpetrator was not accom-
plished Is believed to be due to the vigi-
lance Of Mrs. Mary r. Prescott, the young
mans grandmother, who has, 1t is said, for
a long time past been on the lookout for
something of the kind.
Several days ago an express package was
delivered to the Corcoran Hotel in Rock
Vile, where young Able and his mother,
Mrs. Lillian P. Able, and his grandmother
make their home. 1t was received by Mrs.
Prescott, who opened it and found that il
contained an assortment of fine candies and
bonbOns. Her suspicious were aroused,
however, by the discovery that there was
nothing to indicate by whom the present
was sent. A close inspection showed the
presence in the box of a peculiar looking
powder, and Mrs. Prescott at once sent the
package and its contents to DR.. c. A. Man
mar, who happened to be in the hotel at the
time. The physician unhesitatingly express
ed the belief that the powder was poison.
Analysed by Chemist.
Mr.. A. F. Prescott of Norbeck, an uncle
of the intended victim, was notified, and he
lost no time In bringing the package here,
where he had the substance analysed by a
chemist. The analysis is understood to have
disclosed the fact that each piece of candy
doctored contained sufficient poison to kill
several persons. The kind of poison used
has not been stated.
The matter was called to the attention of
States Attorney Robert Peter, and that Of
fetal employed private detective, who has
since been at work on the case. The pack
age is known to have been sent from New
York city.
Will Inherit $4,000.
Young Able is about sixteen years of age.
He is son of DIR. Edward H. Able, a ma
tive of one of the New England states, who
made Rockville his home several years and
who has also resided here. DR.. Able and
the boys mother were divorced several
years ago, and the former has since mar
ried. Upon attaining his majority Prescott
Able WILL it is understood. come into the
possession of fortune of $4,000.
Young Abbe's relatives are understood to
be possessed of means, and 1t is said that
no expense will be spared to sift the matter
to the bottom. 1t is not denied that sus-
picions exist as to the guilty person, and
the investigation is being made accordingly.
Much secrecy has been maintained con-
corning the affair.

Imprisoned Miners Were Brought
Out This Morning and Taken to

mediatey started on a special train for Windber Hospital, where thew mr..
rived ut twothirtyi O'Clock. They were ut once put to bed, given liquid nour.
iishment, and all are doing well. The rescued men were Mike Poyla. con.

physical discomfort than that entaned by the cold in the raw, damp air Of

them In good shape.
Hell Itself cal offer no greater terror and torment than we endured
In that heading; tomb would be a paradise In comparison. Looking
back over our experience LIDO not see how any Of us escaped without or
minds affected"
These we're the words of Mike Poyla, leader o. the gang of seven men,
describing the experiences of himself and companions. 1T was u worse en-
perience even than that Of Hicks, the California miner buried so long. Even
having companions In that awful periit was an added trial In some respects.
Shut on from food, excepting the scant supply in our dinner pals, the dread
,of what might happen when we became desperate through starvation
made our imprisonment worse agony than 1t would have been to endure
imprisonment alone" &
The seven men are to-day resting quietly and comfortably. on cots IL
te Wfudbur Hospital, rapidly regainmg strength and filled with hope for a
joyful return to their homes tomorrow. DR.. taws stated at noon that the
men will soon recover that none will suffer permanently from their terri
